Human ignorance plays a huge role in a tragedy Without ignorance everyone would know what is happening and the problem would never occur This is especially relevant with Shakespeares play Romeo and Juliet There are many cases within the play that show that the characters are ignorant of what is happening somewhere else The characters either does not know that something is occurring or the character does not have the whole truth That is what makes the whole story interesting One example of ignorance in Romeo and Juliet is the scene where Tybalt notices Romeo and a Capulet party To be prejudice a person must be ignorant Tybalt thinks to himself that since Romeo is a Montague he will cause trouble A few quotes from the play will prove that Tybalt is ignorant Tybalt Tis he that villain Romeo Tybalt It fits when such a villain is a guest Ill not endure him Tybalt Why uncle tis a shame All of these lines are said to Tybalts uncle Lord Capulet by Tyblat Right from the start Tybalt says that Romeo is a villain a trouble maker He states that he will not stand for such a horrible person to be at the party Tybalt feels that it is a shame Being ignorant also means to not know the whole truth The scene where Juliet takes the magic drug and dies is an example of this When the nurse goes to wake Juliet the next morning she is shocked to find Juliet dead on the day she was suppose to marry Paris What the rest of the Capulets do not know is that Juliet will awake later at her grave Here are a few lines from the play that show that they do not know that Juliet will awake Lady Capulet O me O me My child my only life Revive look up or I will die with thee Help help Call help
