Till Death Due Us Part

In Act 3 scene 3, death was brought up on many occasions. In the previous scene, Romeo was banished from Verona for killing Tybalt. Here he is saying that this banishment is worse then death. In lines 30-50, Romeo kept referring to himself in third person, saying that he will never be able to be with Juliet and that he would rather die without her.
     He says, "and sayst thou yet exile is not death? Hadst tho no poison mixed, no sharpe-ground knife, no sudden mean of death."  In the first part he is asking the friar is he doesn't think exile is death. He says this because he would rather be killed quickly and harmlessly then face a life without Juliet. Death was an easy escape compared to exile. Because of this feeling, Romeo begins to contemplate suicide. This shows a loss of control, he can no longer live because he feels no need to. He looses control of feelings and correct thought processes. To Romeo the only way out is death, nothing else. Death to him at this moment is comforting because it means he doesn't have to live with the pain of loosing Juliet. Loosing Juliet is death to him and therefore he lost complete control of any thought process. Even when Friar Lawrence tries to comfort him, all Romeo goes back to is banishment and looses control into sobs. There is no chance that Romeo wants to live until he hears from the Nurse. This is the main theme through this section about how death would be easier and less harmful, he would rather be stabbed with any knife then to be taken away.
