The tragic flaw of Juliet’s character that is reflected in this excerpt is her tendency to act without forethought.
Admittedly, Juliet was strongly guided by her heart, she is so much in love and loyal to Romeo that she could not imagine her life without him.
Prior to this scene, as he thought that Juliet was dead, Romeo desired to enter the tomb in which Juliet laid dead desperately. When he sees Paris he urged him to get away from the tomb, but he didn't. Paris and Romeo indulge themselves in a fight in which Romeo defeated and killed Paris. He takes Paris into Juliet's tomb and then drinks the poison. When Juliet awakes, she finds Romeo dead. Consequently, she too stabs herself with a dagger.
They were too small and weak. They could not lift heavy objects or work for long hours.
