William Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet

William Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet

Romeo & Juliet were star crossed lovers form the beginning, In the

prologue it told us that their relationship would come to an end, but

the audience still wills them to live happily ever after. There are a

lot of people to blame in the play such as Benvolio, Mercutio,

Balthazar, Romeo & Juliet, Friar Lawrence, Paris and the Nurse. Also

there is the Capulet & Montague family and one of the most important

things in it this was fate.

Benvolio & Mercutio are the main people to start the dice rolling by

gate crashing the Capulet party. If they hadn’t have done this then

Romeo wouldn’t have seen Juliet and still think he was madly in love

with Rosalie. Fate played a part at the party because in the film

when Romeo went in everyone was wearing a mask apart from Juliet.

The nurse, was to keen to act as a go between because she felt that

Juliet was her daughter because she has been with her all of her life,

so she want her to be happy. Juliet might have given up on the Idea

of getting married to Romeo and the couple’s death would have been

averted. I think that the nurse should get most of the blame because

she should have acted with a bit more responsibility with the position

of Juliet’s surrogate mother. The friar Romeo’s friend and guidance

changed the course of events by helping the couple with their plans to

marry and assisting Juliet in her scheme to be with Romeo. If the

friar had not agreed to marry Romeo and Juliet, it is possible that

the couple would have given up on the idea of being together. On the

other hand Romeo and Juliet may have been fated to marry and would

have got married whatever the friars decision was.

I think the friar was not to blame because he saw it as young couple

in love and want to be together for the rest of their lives.
