Romeo’s Verdict There was so much tragedy in Romeo and Juliet but who was truly to blame for the six deaths? The majority of blame for the six deaths in Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare rests on Romeo. Romeo is responsible because he was so desperate for love and he couldn’t control his anger on multiple occasions. One example of Romeo being desperate for love is him killing himself for Juliet And a reason for Romeo not being able for him to control his temper was when he killed Tybalt and Paris out of revenge. First of all, Romeo killed Tybalt out of revenge and he couldn’t keep his temper. “He’s alive and victorious , and Mercutio is dead? Enough with this mercy and consideration. It’s time for rage to guide my actions.” (III.I.120)
While reading Shakespeare's play “Romeo and Juliet” it is easy to see that everybody in the story is at fault for the deaths of Romeo and Juliet. Personally however, I believe that three of the main characters are more at fault then the other characters. First is Mercutio, Romeo’s best friend. Next is Benvolio, nephew of Lord Montague and Romeo’s other friend. Last is Friar Lawrence, Romeo and Juliet Franciscan Priest. In a story of unorthodox love, family feuding, and violence, many are at blame for the deaths.
Because of the time this play was written, people would have strongly believed in bad luck and fate, but the characters were equally to blame. It was just a question of which one is to blame the most for the deaths of Romeo and Juliet. First of all, Romeo could be most to blame for the deaths of himself and Juliet, he asked Juliet to marry him when he hardly knew her. Romeo declared his love for her and went to friar Lawrence and asked the friar if he would marry them, Romeo says "Then plainly know my hearts dear love is set, on the fair daughter of rich Capulet, by holy marriage, when, where and how, we met, we woo'd and make exchange of vow. " If Romeo had restrained himself from killing Tybalt, or waited a day before killing himself after hearing about Juliet's death, it might have ended happily, and if Romeo didn't have such deep feelings, his love with Juliet wouldn't have existed in the first place.
Responsibility for Romeo and Juliet's Deaths There is much controversy to who is to blame for the deaths of Romeo and Juliet, a number of things and people could be held responsible for the deaths of Romeo and Juliet.

Because of this, it becomes imminent that one thing or event will start off a sequence of incidents that will end in tragedy. The on-going feud between the Montague and Capulet families could be held responsible for the deaths of Romeo and Juliet, because if their was no feud between these families then Romeo and Juliet would have been able to have a safe normal relationship in which their family would have agreed to.
In William Shakespeare's The Tragedy of Romeo and Juliet two young lovers lost their lives when hate and love collided. From the Montagues came Romeo and from the Capulets was Juliet.

Who is responsible for the death of Romeo and Juliet? In my opinion, there are three people to blame, Lady Capulet, Friar Lawernce, and The Nurse.
Romeo killed Tybalt to avenge his friend Mercutio’s death and to defend the honor of his family, but failed to consider the chain reaction of anguish this hasty decision would cause. After his cold sword took Tybalts last breath he exclaims “O, I am fortune's fool” Indicating that Romeo believed Tybalt’s death was written in the stars and he was just following fate so the murder was justifiable in that sense. Mercutio was Romeo’s best friend, so his anger towards Tybalt is more than understandable, but killing someone always makes things harder. The Prince banishes Romeo to Mantua, far away from the loving wall of Verona, and this shakes up the lives of almost every character in the play. The repercussion from this decision reaches down to the very last scene of the play when we learn that Lady Montague, Romeo’s mother, has died, it is explained by Romeo’s father that “Grief of my sons exile hath stopped her breath (5.3.219)” if Romeo hadn’t killed Tybalt then he wouldn’t have been banished and maybe his mother would have still be alive and if Romeo hadn’t killed Tybalt then he would still be alive and together with his true love....

Have you ever heard of a play called Romeo and Juliet? Well if you have you may have heard of the tragic ending. But, There are three people who are responsible for the deaths of the people in the play and in the movie. The three characters who are most responsible for their own death or the deaths of others are Tybalt, Paris, and the friar.
He is the son of Lady Capulet's brother, Juliet's short-tempered first cousin, and Romeo's rival. Tybalt is heavily involved in the build up to Romeo and Juliet’s deaths; Shakespeare portrays him as a villainous character who is the cause of several deaths and misfortune. Throughout the play, Shakespeare exposes Tybalt’s violent nature and his anger is particularly shown when Tybalt confronts Romeo and insults him saying, “Romeo, the love I bear thee can afford, No better term than this: thou art a villain.” This shows how quick Tybalt is to start fights, proving that he is hot-headed. Tybalt encourages a brawl by inviting Romeo to “turn and draw”. Had Tybalt not said this, Mercutio would probably not have been provoked to fight and consequently, die. As a result of Mercutio’s death, Romeo killed Tybalt, forcing Romeo to be exiled. This led to a chain of disastrous events resulting in Romeo’s, Juliet’s and Paris’ deaths. It can also be argued that Tybalt is to blame as he triggers the fights and seems to be the cause of the chain of unfortunate events.
