IndexIntroductionRomeo's infatuation with JulietRomeo's disobedience to his parentsRomeo's unpardonable crimesConclusionBibliographyIntroductionMost Christians and people of other faiths can agree that sinning out of an earthly desire it is a serious offense against God, which if intentional will not be forgiven. For example, killing for one's own aspirations, disobeying parents for selfish desires, and worshiping false gods are all clearly acts against God. But in the play Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare, Romeo does just that. In Romeo and Juliet, infatuation has completely clouded the minds of two young lovers. In the story, two star-crossed lovers have a historic feud in their families that interferes with their love. Throughout the story, Romeo can be seen disobeying multiple commandments, for which he cannot be punished as there is little to no reason to be forgiven. Romeo turns Juliet into his idol before his faith in God, deceives his parents by falling in love and interacting with a Capulet, and kills both Paris and Tybalt, which is unforgivable in the eyes of God.

Get an Original Essay Romeo's Infatuation with Juliet First, Romeo turns Juliet into an idol and starts worshiping her in some parts of the play. Focusing on the Catholic church, the first and second commandments both strictly state that they have no gods before the God of the Catholic church. Romeo breaks this command several times by referring to Juliet as a holy shrine and placing her before God. During the ball scene, after Romeo and his team crash a party with the hope of meeting Rosaline, a girl whose is in love, Romeo sees Juliet and takes her aside. He is amazed by her beauty and kisses her only after saying a few words. He tells her: If I profane with my most unworthy hand this holy sanctuary, the gentle sin is this, my lips, two blushing pilgrims, ready to smooth that rough touch with a tender kiss (1.5.92-95) He continues by saying “ Then do not move while I take the effect of my prayer / So from my lips, thanks to yours, my sin will be atoned for”. (1.5.105-106) Analyzing these 2 quotes, he states that he is worshiping Juliet by kissing her and compares his kisses to prayers, with Juliet being the holy shrine. Later in the play, after the party, Romeo runs away from his gang (who doesn't know about Juliet) and sneaks into the Capulets' walls, hoping to get another look at Juliet. He says in an aside: “Oh, speak again, bright angel, for you are… like us a winged messenger from heaven”/Romeo (2.2.26-28). In this statement, he refers to Juliet as a messenger from God (which she is not) and continues to treat her like a holy idol. Juliet is a normal girl, with little holiness and cannot be compared to God and angels. Since Romeo is clearly worshiping a false God and dies before he can redeem himself, God will not forgive him. This is just one of his crimes against God. Romeo's disobedience to his parents Furthermore, Romeo deceived his parents by falling in love and interacting with a Capulet, who is breaking the fifth commandment of honoring your mother and father. First, as fate would have it, an illiterate servant of the Capulets asks Romeo, not recognizing that he is a Montague, to read the list of names invited to a Capulet party. Romeo reads it for him and sees the name Rosaline. Romeo was madly in love with Rosaline at the time. He decides to attend the Capulets' party, with the hope of seeing Rosaline.
