Wooden-headedness, the source of self-deception, is a factory that plays a large role in government. It is acting according to wish while not allowing oneself to be deflected by the facts. Some people would claim that it plays a large role in all organizations and all human affairs. A play that defends this idea is "Romeo and Juliet"ÃÂ, written by William Shakespeare. The reason why it defends the idea of wooden-headedness is because in the play, Romeo and Juliet are lovers just because of wish. They do not allow themselves to be deflected by the facts, which are that they are from two separate families and the families don't get together well. The start of this is when Romeo first meets Juliet.
They first met at a party. The original reason that Romeo went to the party though, was because his girlfriend was supposed to go. Well, as it turned out, Romeo couldn't find her, but he did find something else that struck his eye.

Balakirev was instrumental in creating Romeo and J...This beautiful girl whose name was Juliet. He knew right then and there, she was just right for him. They talked for a while in the party and then Romeo asked her to come over to his place. They couldn't go inside because of the fact that they were from the two opposing families, but that didn't bother them, since their wish was just to see each other. Moreover, they agreed to see each other.
They saw each other more and more each day but Romeo did something wrong. He did something very wrong. He killed a member of the other family. He was expelled from the city and was told never to come back. Before he went, he said goodbye to Juliet. Juliet knew that she wouldn't be able to take not seeing Romeo anymore so she devised a plan that would get her out of the city. She went to the friar and asked him for a sleeping potion that would make her seem poisoned and sure enough, she got it and used it. When her parents saw her on her bed, lying motionless, they thought she was dead, so they took her to the cemetery.
Romeo heard the news that Juliet was dead. He was devastated and he had to see Juliet one last time, so he went to the cemetery. He broke in and saw Juliet's coffin and Juliet was in it. He went over to her and said a few words. Then, he knew that he couldn't live without Juliet, so he killed himself, right in front of Juliet's coffin. Juliet awoke shortly afterwards, and she saw Romeo's dead body next to her. She also couldn't live without Romeo, so she killed herself, right next to him. This brought the two families together and created peace between both. The reason for this was that if two people from different families could get along, and love each other so much, only on their wishes, regardless of the facts, then they could certainly get together.
In conclusion, wooden-headedness, the source of self-deception, played a large role in the play "Romeo and Juliet."ÃÂ It defined how Romeo and Juliet thought of each other. Even though they were both from different families, they didn't care. They relied only on their wishes. That's also what brought the two families together in the end. They finally realized that they should ignore the facts too and just rely on what they wished, which was to have peace between the two families.
