Juliet was just as hasty at rushing into things like Romeo.
Before the ball Juliet had been very happy with Paris and the fact that she was going to be wed to him.
If Romeo had never gone to the ball Juliet would be very happy.
The Prince ==========
The prince should have stopped the hatred between the two families much earlier. It was very wrong of him to send Romeo away from Verona to punish him for the killing of Tybalt when Tybalt started the fight in the first place.
Lord and Lady Capulet =====================
They were also responsible for the keeping of the feud. If there weren’t a feud then Romeo and Juliet wouldn’t have to keep their relationship a secret.

In Document B, “Think of marriage now”, Juliet tells her mother “ … no more deep will I endart mine eye / Than your consent gives strength to make it fly.” Juliet is telling Lady Capulet that she will only marry the person that her parents approve of. Juliet acts as if she will do what her parents say,which is why they do not take her seriously when Juliet says she does not want to marry Paris and force her to marry him, which drives Juliet to kill herself. Furthermore, Juliet also does not give her parents a reason to why she suddenly changed her mind about marrying paris. Juliet told her parent “ Delay this marriage for a month, a week…” When Juliet says to delay the marriage she does not tell her parents why she wanted to wait, because she did not give a valid reason her parents though she was just being difficult and thought Juliet would get over it and marry Paris. This resulted in Juliet faking her own death, which lead to Romeo and Juliet to take their own lives. Juliet is to blame because she acted as if she had no voice in the decisions that were made for her , causes her parent to overlook her opinion, Juliet also does not communicate why she does not want to marry Paris, which would have resulted in her parents to at least hear her
