First, Romeo crashes the party and sneaks into Juliet’s garden. This is bad because Romeo could have gotten caught and punished if someone saw him speaking with Juliet in the garden. Also, Romeo falls in love too quickly. Romeo needs to process if he is actually in love, or if he is in love with the idea of being in love. Romeo should have thought before he snuck into her garden because there is a huge feud between the two families, and he could have made the feuding worse. In addition, Romeo goes to the friar for advice and not his parents. Romeo should have told his parents because Romeo’s parents could have understood that he loved Juliet, and they could have accepted that. If Romeo had told his parents, Juliet and Romeo’s marriage could have been the end of the feud. Romeo’s parents could have welcomed Juliet into the family, and the two families could have seen how their love is real. It is bad that Romeo went to the friar because the friar is the cause of all of their problems. Finally, Romeo kills Tybalt. This is a problem because he does not get to see the one true person he loves because of the banishment. He should have thought about the consequences of this action. Romeo could have been executed and Juliet could have been left a widow. Romeo should have talked to Prince Escalus about his banishment before deciding to make all the elaborate plans. If Romeo would have talked to him, Prince Escalus could have decreased Romeo’s punishment even more. In conclusion, Romeo does not think about his actions and how destructive they are to him and other people, leading to his

Also, if the two families would get over their silly fight and talk it out, no one would have lost their lives. If everyone thought about each other instead of themselves the turnout would be much
Juliet is one of the main people to blame for her and Romeo’s death. In Act 5, Scene 3, Romeo states, “Thy drugs are quick. This with a kiss I die.” This reveals that he killed himself to be with her, not knowing that she was faking her death to avoid marrying Paris. Another reason Juliet is to blame for their death is shown when she says “O, think’st thou we shall ever meet again?”, after Romeo’s banishment showing that she just let him go
Romeo made the wrong choice by killing himself, although it may have seemed like the perfect thing to do at that time. He should have not been so hasty in his choices.

Taking Responsibility for the Deaths of Romeo and Juliet in William Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet
All of these decisions lead to Romeo and Juliet’s downfall and eventually their deaths. Rushed decision making sometimes seems good, but not thinking out decisions can lead to major consequences and even death as in Romeo and Juliet.

Hasty decision making is what separated Romeo and Juliet, they were young and showed their immaturity in the hasty decisions they made. When this lesson is not learned the audience sees the consequences that may result from this lesson not learned, also causing decadence of those who are oblivious to this lesson. As Friar Laurence admonished, “Wisely and slow, they stumble that run
The Death of Romeo and Juliet and Who is to Blame Romeo and Juliet is a tragedy by William Shakespeare, in which a young boy and girl fall in love and commit suicide. They come from 2 different families which have a deadly feud against one another. Romeo goes to a masked ball at the Capulet's household where he falls in love with Juliet.

In loving memory of both Capulet and Montague, his love for them appeared to be little after all. William Shakespeare's play, Romeo and Juliet, enforces that many characters have led to Romeo and Juliet’s death, yet no one is more responsible than Friar Laurence. Ironically, Friar Laurence, the most caring people in Romeo and Juliet’s life, was the reason for their deaths. To begin with, Friar Laurence's irresponsible acts of inability to give the letter to Romeo himself just goes to show that isn’t a man to trust. Friar says, “Unhappy fortune!⋯Oh dear import and neglecting it may do much danger.” (5.3.17).
The choices Romeo and Juliet make are poor, and eventually resulted in their death. Getting married, killing Tybalt, and thinking with hastyness were all poor choices that lead to both of their deaths. Once in a while making bad choices doesn’t affect someone as much, but making then many times regularly does affect one’s life. This teaches people that we must think our actions through before committing them.

Although I joy in thee,I have no joy of this contract tonight.It is too rash, too unadvised, too sudden,Too like the lightning, which doth cease to be Ere one can say 'It lightens.' Sweet, good night.This bud of love, by summer's ripening breath, May prove a beauteous flower when next we meet.Good night, good night. As sweet repose and rest Come to thy heart as that within my breast.” In this quote she is saying how much she loves Romeo, but she thinks it is
