Bad Decisions and Love Change Endings Seen Through Fate and Fairies

Romeo was so depressed about his unrequited love for Rosaline when it just so happens, he goes to a masquerade party. There, he falls for Juliet, the daughter of Lord Capulet, and forgot about Rosaline. When they're finally torn apart, that's when both Romeo and Juliet realize they are from enemy families. Their love, of course, brings down their immediate marriage and Friar Lawrence agrees in hope to stop the feuding families. Unfortunately, Tybalt and Mercutio are killed and Romeo gets banished leaving Juliet without a husband or a cousin.

Also, the political circumstances in Verona have a part to play because the Prince doesn’t do anything to stop the feud of the two families. A ‘weak’ Prince adds tension because he is partly related to Mercutio. Fate or God might have something to do with bringing Romeo to the tomb because the letter that Friar Lawrence sent out never arrived in time for Romeo to see it. Balthasar received the news of the death of Juliet and was ordered to go and find Romeo in Mantua to tell him the dreadful news. Also, ‘freak’ accidents make the deaths more likely because of Juliet waking up straight after when Romeo dies.

Tybalt, Juliet’s cousin, rallies up a fight with Romeo’s good friend, Mercutio. Romeo, not wanting to fight considering his love affair with Juliet, tries to break up the fight. His attempt to break up the fight is unsuccessful. The fight between Tybalt and Mercutio ends up in the death of Mercutio. As Mercutio lies dying, he shouts "A plague o ' both your houses!"

Or, if thou wilt not, be but sworn my love, I’ll no longer be a Capulet” (2.2.35). The opposition between the two families guide Romeo and Juliet secretly seeing each other. This displays that hatred puts Romeo and Juliets life in risk which leads to their death. Later in the story, Romeo takes a suicide because he could not resist being without his true love. When Juliet wakes up, she finds Romeo’s dead body lying on the floor, “What’s here?

Romeo, being so angry that he slew his good friend, ran and slew Tybalt to get him back. All of this led to Romeo being banned from Verona, which is what really starts the miscommunication between the couple of Romeo and Juliet, and eventually leading to more deaths. One other character who dies due to the situation of Romeo and Juliet is Paris. Paris is a young count who is kinsman to the Prince. Paris is originally supposed to marry Juliet by choice of Lord Capulet, but since she is married to Romeo, hence she seeks Friar Lawrence for an idea.

That violence is the reason that Romeo is banished. His banishment leads to the risky ruse of Juliet’s death, which leads to Romeo coming to Juliet family tomb.” (Kerschen 14) Not only is Romeo responsible for his wife’s death, but for the fact that Juliet missed him so much and caused her to drink the poison to fake her death. But Juliet’s character also faced some flaws such as not telling her parents about the wedding, which ended up with eve more

This grudge between the two families the Capulets and the Montagues, causes the deaths of Romeo and Juliet; as the grudge forces the pair to be deceptive. Both families forced Juliet and Romeo into the inevitable situation they are in. Juliet’s father Lord Capulet forces Juliet to marry Paris who is a young man he tells Juliet to marry Paris and if not he threatens her to ‘hang, beg, starve, die in the streets’. This forced commitment urges Juliet to find a deceptive resolution to avoid the second marriage, the resolution results in death for Romeo and Juliet. The families’ grudge is a contributor to the deaths of Romeo and Juliet.

The play Romeo and Juliet, by William Shakespeare, is known for its romantic tragedy between two star-crossed lovers and whose families are each other 's enemies. The outcome of the enemy brings the death of the lovers. With all of the deaths, who is truly to blame for Romeo and Juliet 's deaths? Friar Lawrence is most to blame for many obvious, yet overlooked reasons. First of all, the Friar unwisely agreed to marry Romeo and Juliet, even though he knows it will cause problems later due the feud of their families.

The Prologue at the beginning of the play suggests that it could have been mainly fate that was to blame, 'star-crossed lovers' and 'deaths-marked love' are examples of this. However hatred between the two families also plays a more important part in the deaths of Romeo and Juliet, which I will explain below. Romeo is a young teenager, who is a member of the Montague household. He unfortunately falls in love with Juliet, a Capulet which was forbidden, whose family are bitter enemies of the Montague's. He seems to blame fate or unlucky misfortune for almost everything that goes wrong after he kills Tybalt, and realises the seriousness of his action, he prefers to blame fate rather than himself, "O, I am fortune's fool" Romeo was banished for killing Tybalt, which could have been the biggest mistake he made.

Juliet mourned the exile of Romeo which Lady Capulet thought it was for the death of Tybalt. Because there was so much sadness Lord Capulet decided to marry Count Paris and Juliet so he could bring joy to people's heart. Once Juliet heard the sorrowful news of her getting married, she went to Friar Lawrence and he gave her a clever plan. At the wedding night, Juliet takes the sleeping potion that made her look dead, and her family thought she was dead too. Because of everyone acting hastily, Romeo knew about Juliet's death, so he killed himself just to be with Juliet.
