Everybody in the movie and book "Romeo and Juliet" have problems or problems that they have to deal with. They each go about these problems how they think is best and it all leads up to the shocking ending of Romeo and Juliet's deaths. Here is what I think.
Romeo is always going through girl problems. At the beginning of the book where Romeo had first come into the movie/book he was moping and sulking around over this girl named Rosaline. He was sad because Rosaline had rejected him and went to the Capulet party looking for Rosaline. That was where he met Juliet.
Benvolio always was trying to keep the peace and because he had saw Romeo sad he went to cheer him up. When Benvolio learned that Romeo was sad over a girl he told him "The best way to get over a woman is to find another one." So when Romeo first saw Juliet he thought about what Benvolio had said and went after Juliet leading to their brief relationship.
Juliet's parents forced Juliet to marry Paris so she chose to deal with it by going to Friar Lawrence and threatening to kill herself if he did not see her out of the situation that she was in. This is when Friar Lawrence gave Juliet the potion to pretend that she was dead.
Tibolt provoked everything by killing Mercutio and forcing Mercutio to cast a plague upon both of their houses [the Montague and Capulet's houses]. Leading to the ending of Romeo and Juliet. As you can see Everybody played a role in the deaths of Romeo and Juliet. And everybody had their problems.

8th Grade SuperZero
I just finished reading my book 8th Grade Super Zero and I think that the main character Reginald [aka Reggie] has overcome many things in his life and come to realizations. Some of the things that Reggie has overcome is fear, his lack of friends, holding his past against himself, and envying other people. He came to the realization that some of the things you really want and need can be right in front of you the whole time.
At the beginning of the book Reggie was a scared little boy that wanted nothing to do with attention. He wanted to be invisible at school. He wouldn't answer back if he was being cut on, he would best try to ignore the whispers in the hall, and worst of all, he couldn't talk to the girl he had liked for so long [Mialonie]. He was a "LAME". At the end of the book Reggie was getting up on stages to give speeches, he was running for school president and he had no fear of talking to Mialonie [he even almost kissed her] but he blew that chance and never got another one. When the book started Reggie could count all of his friends on one hand. He only stayed inside his friend box. He didn't try to go out and explore. Reggie's buildup of friends all started with a little boy named Charlie. Charlie was new to the school and just needed someone to talk to. The Principal [Principal Blaylock paired both of the loners up to be a big buddy little buddy thing. Charlie was a mess when Reggie first saw him but Reggie dealt with that pretty quickly. Anyway Reggie found out that Charlie lived in a shelter and made friends with almost the whole shelter especially George [ like his mentor]. Anyway the shelter pushed Reggie to get in the presidential race and when he did that was his first step to more respect. Reggie also always held himself for throwing up on the stage when he was singing a song. you can't rally blame him though because after that everybody cave him this nickname and started calling him pukey.
Reggie came to the realization that some of the things you really want and need can be right in front of you the whole time. For example, Reggie always liked Mialonie but never really got close to her. When he started running for president she started helping him with what he was doing and he realized that she was actually a nice girl. Whenn he finally got close to he this kid in his class named Hector told him something. He said "You don't know what you missed out on". He was talking about Ruthie. Eventually Reggie broke it off with Mialonie and Went after Ruthie. The friend that had always been right next to him.
