Romeo, Uncontrollable Force

What if a tragedy’s ending changes to a happy ending, what will happen? People always think about this question while they are reading. Some people think if the ending changes, the stories will be happy, however as far as I am concerned, Romeo and Juliet is a special case. Even though Romeo and Juliet do not die, they will still have a miserable life, because the only uncontrollable force is Romeo, not fate. 

If Romeo and Juliet do not die, they are happy at the beginning, but they will soon find how miserable their life is. If Friar Lawrence’s plan works, Juliet will run away with Romeo. They may have a little house in somewhere extremely remote; at the beginning, they want to spend every minute with each other. However, after they run out of their money, they will suffer from poverty. Moreover, another problem is how they can live without servants who do everything for them. I assume both of them cannot cook or do any housework. To make a living, Romeo has to find a job, and Juliet must learn how to be a good housewife. In that remote place, nobody knows Montagues or Capulets, so this couple will suffer a lot. Finally, they survive in the big change of their life. They have a baby; at first, they are both glad to have a child. However, indeed, Romeo is not the guy who can change diapers for the baby, so Juliet has to do everything. As time passes, Juliet just stays at home, and eventually she is not as beautiful as she used to be. However, Romeo is still immature; he argues with his colleagues, because they do not do what he expects them to do. Sometimes Romeo fights with people, or even duel, because of some little things. Romeo thinks he is still a great Montague; then, the couple start to quarrel. Romeo is finally bored of Juliet, and he falls in love with someone else, like exactly what he does to Rosaline. He then abandons Juliet. In summary, even if they do not die, the story is still another tragedy. 

The only reason of why their life so miserable is Romeo, and Juliet is just a tragic character. Romeo is extremely immature and selfish. He is so irrational that he kills Tybalt, and he is banished. Juliet can not do nothing, but feel hurt. Romeo thinks that he is so innocent, and he is not grateful at all. He tries to kill himself, because he thinks he cannot see Juliet again. He does not care about his friends or parents; he only cares about himself and his love. He kills two people in the book. When he kills them, he always says he loves them and he does not want to kill them, however he just kills them. The most horrible personality of Romeo is that he can hurt anyone who stops him chasing his love, but he thinks he is right. He does not realize that what he does can only hurt the people who love him. One day Romeo finds someone else whom he loves more than Juliet, he will definitely abandon Juliet. Juliet can not do anything; for Juliet, it is unfortunate to meet Romeo, a person who can only hurt her. Consequently, Romeo’s selfishness and immaturity actually cause their miserable life. 

In conclusion, because of Romeo, the most uncontrollable force, the story becomes a tragedy. Even if Romeo and Juliet do not die in the tomb, they still cannot live together happily.
