The death of Romeo and Juliet can only not be placed on one person alone, their death is to be placed on the Capulets, Tybalt, and Friar Lawrence. In my Opinion, the blame is shared.
The blame game began with the Capulets because they were unsupportive, of Juliet’s decision, not to marry Paris. Friar Laurence is also responsible for their death because he forgot to tell Romeo about Juliet’s plan, and lastly Tybalt is responsible for their death because he was the one who provoked Romeo into killing him solidifying his banishment from Verona. There is more than one person that is responsible for the death of Romeo and Juliet. The people that are responsible for their death are Friar Laurence, Tybalt and Juliet’s parents, The Capulets.

Out on her, hilding/. And why, lady Wisdom? Hold your tongue/, Good prudence, smatter with your gossips, go.” (III.V.165-172). In this quotation, it states how lord Capulet is very unsupportive of Juliet’s desire, he does not care about what she wants he only cares about what is good for him, because the Capulets were unsupportive of Juliet’s decision, they did not listen to what she wanted they neglected her. They are also responsible for their death by forcing Juliet to marry Paris, which made Juliet to find a way out of marriage with Paris. Juliet’s mother, lady Capulet is also responsible because she did not support her daughter, even though Juliets father did not support Juliet decision, about not marrying Paris her mother should have listened to her daughter, speak to her father, and tried to get him out of the whole marriage plot but instead she decided not to listen to her own blood daughter and she started to plan a wedding, and Juliet had no choice other than plotting a way out of marriage which led to the death of Romeo and Juliet.

In Shakespeare's play, Romeo and Juliet, Friar Laurence has a major role. As a member of the Order of St. Francis, a group of wise and generous priests, Romeo and Juliet trusted Friar Laurence completely, turning to him for advice, and solutions. He was there throughout Romeo’s and Juliet's lives; he married them, came up with a plan to keep them together, and was a friend throughout their tragedies. However, Friar Laurence’s rash action in marrying Romeo and Juliet, his shortsighted plan for rescuing Juliet from an unwanted marriage to Paris, and his fear of committing sin all contributed to the deaths of Romeo and Juliet.

At the end of Act V, Prince Escalus, announced, “Capulet, Montague, See what a scourge is laid upon your hate.” Later on he adds, “Some shall be pardon’d, and some punished.” Who shall be pardoned and who shall be punished, you may ask.

Including Mercutio, Tybalt and Paris deaths as well. However, in addition to losing loved ones, others as in Friar Johnson and the Nurses have been very involved.
