Why is it that we as human beings feel the need to blame someone for every negative situation, which occurs? If we really look at the situation with any great depth, we may discover that an almost endless amount of things may be 'blamed' for the tragedy; blaming an individual is pointless - only fate can really be blamed. & nbsp; Some characters who are more commonly blamed are Romeo and Juliet themselves.

WHO IS THE BLAME? Good afternoon, my fellow audience. I am here today to persuade you on who I believe to be the character most responsible for the death of the two main characters in the play, Romeo and Juliet, a tragedy written by William Shakespeare. It is almost an ironic play because of its open and easily known ending, but yet its ending raises the controversial question, WHO IS TO BLAME FOR THE DEATH OF ROMEO AND JULIET? I believe every character in the book contributed to their deaths, even Romeo and Juliet themselves, but Friar Lawrence bears a monumental deal of the blame because he was the principle and most reliable adult that could have steered the ‘inexperienced’ couple, but his incompetency led Romeo and Juliet to a violent death.
There is a fine line between having poor luck and being absolutely ludicrous. Gambling with fate is a risky business. Maybe, if the Friar and Juliet would keep brainstorming ways to avoid the upcoming marriage of her and Paris, the story would not reach its end with such a shocking mortality. The calamity of Romeo and Juliet can not simply be blamed on a broken mirror. Unfortunately, these lovers bring themselves to their doom. The tragedy of Romeo and Juliet is not a case of bad luck, but a series of poor decision making.
