Are you at fault with everything that goes wrong in your life? Conflicts in life include many other people, it wouldn’t be a problem if it was just you that was affected. No one person is to blame about the tragedy of Romeo and Juliet, the main people that contributed are Romeo, Juliet, Friar Laurence, and Nurse.
No one person is to blame for the tragedy of Romeo and Juliet but Romeo was a major person that contributed to his death. To begin with Romeo states, ”Shall bitterly begin his fearful date, With this night's revels and expire the term, Of a despised life closed in my breast, By some vile forfeit of untimely death”(Act 1 Scene 4). Romeo says this while he is on his way to the Capulet’s party. He knows that he will find something that night that will lead to his death. Benvolio also tells romeo, “Romeo, away, be gone!, The citizens are up, and Tybalt slain, Stand not amazed: the prince will doom thee death, If thou art taken: hence, be gone, away!”(Act 3 Scene 1). When Romeo kills Tybalt he should’ve have thought through

Friar Laurence states, “For this alliance may so happy prove, To turn your households' rancour to pure love”(Act 2 Scene 3). Friar Lawrence married Romeo and Juliet out of love, but he didn’t think first about the consequences of the marriage. When people are in love they can be blind to what their love can do, and in this case their love blinded Friar into marrying them. Friar also said, “Hold; get you gone, be strong and prosperous, In this resolve: I'll send a friar with speed, To Mantua, with my letters to thy lord”(Act 4 Scene 4). If the letter with the plan written on it had made it to Mantua then Romeo would have not gone to see Juliet and wouldn’t think she dead. If he didn’t think she was dead then he wouldn’t have killed himself. This entire play revolves around miscommunication, all they had to do was tell someone who wasn’t caught up in the
Tybalt did not take a direct role in Juliet’s ‘death’, but he set the course for incidents that lead to it. As a Capulet, he had long participated in the feud between his family and the Montagues. The day after he spotted Romeo at a party hosted by his family, he went out looking for him – and a fight. He accidentally murdered Mercutio, Romeo later killed him in revenge. Juliet, rather than being upset by Tybalt’s death, sobbed for Romeo, who was banished for the murder. The misunderstandings regarding Juliet’s grief led to a marriage she felt she could only escape by faking her own death. While Tybalt was not immediately involved in Juliet’s ‘death’, he played such a major role in starting the events that would ultimately lead to it that he must be deemed partly responsible.
In Romeo and Juliet, one character who is partly responsible for the deaths of Romeo and Juliet is Tybalt. Tybalt enrages Remeo and causes him to kill Tybalt. In Romeo and Juliet, this brings about Romeo’s exile from Verona. If Romeo had not been exiled from Verona, he would have heard of Friar Lawrence’s plan to keep Juliet from getting married. If he had known of the plan, he would not have gone to the vault and killed himself over what he thought was Juliet’s dead body.
1First, Capulet should be blamed the most for Romeo and Juliet’s death. 2 His first fault was to bear Romeo in his party. 3When Capulet was informed by Tybalt about the presence of Romeo (Montague) Capulet said, “A bears him like a portly gentlemen”. His ignorance towards Romeo’s presence cause the two youngster to fall in love which led to series of problems. His another mistake was to arrange Juliet’s marriage with Paris without her consent. When Paris came to ask to make Juliet his bride Capulet changed his opinion when he first asked and said, “I think she’ll be ruled-In all respect by me. Nay, more, I doubt it not”. Then he said to his wife that, “O’ Thursday, tell her, she shall be married to this noble earl.” This led to Juliet drinking the potion to pretend dead on the day of her marriage and Romeo’s servant Balthasar got the message of Juliet’s death before he got a letter from Friar Lawrence about her pretend death. This led to Juliet’s real death followed by Romeo’s death. Therefore, Capulet’s big heartedness and small heartedness caused the death of Romeo ...
Throughout time, there have been many tragedies cause by romance. For example, the play Romeo and Juliet, by William Shakespeare, is known for its romantic tragedy between two star-crossed lovers. With all the deaths, who is truly to blame for Romeo and Juliet's deaths? Friar Laurence is most to blame for many obvious, yet overlooked reasons.
The ill-fated lovers, the ill-disposed parents and the ill-mannered prince all contribute to the deaths. Because of their decisions and because of their behaviors and characteristics they play their parts in the conflicts. The Prince is to blame because he failed to fulfill his duty to the people of Verona. The parents are to blame for the neglecting of their children and for demanding marriage. And the lovers are to blame for their rash decisions. Those are the culprits in Romeo and Juliet of the deaths and demise of all and they carry the burden of blame.
Romeo and Juliet was a tragedy, but it did not have to be. Many things could have been done to prevent their deaths. Many characters contributed to their deaths. The sole character that was responsible for their deaths is Friar Lawrence. Friar Lawrence is responsible for the deaths of the lovers because he was secretive with their relationship, he was unable communicate effectively, and he had a cowardly persona.
Is there one person to blame for all the tragic events of Romeo and Juliet? Romeo and Juliet, the tragedy written by Shakespeare in 1595 is a very favored play. The play is mostly a comedy up until the death of Mercutio, it turns into a tragedy from then on. Because of how many tragic events happen to the “star-crossed lovers” it may be easy to believe that fate was definitely against them, but, some may believe there is one person to blame for most of the tragedies. Friar Laurence would be the character most to blame for the tragic events in Romeo and Juliet because in the beginning he helped and consented the marriage of Romeo and Juliet. Then, after Romeo kills Tybalt and gets banished from Verona, Juliet was planned to be married to Paris.
I believe the most to blame for Romeo and Juliet's death is Capulet. I say this because Capulet forced Juliet to marry a man she does not love or have feelings for. But she loves Romeo but he is a Montague. Capulet hates Montagues so he would not allow it if she told him.
Some characters who are more commonly blamed are Romeo and Juliet themselves. With their headstrong personalities, and love, which seemed so sure, they had in fact condemned themselves. Romeo was the first to promote the relationship at the Capulet party. It was a case of 'love-at-first-sight' for him, so he felt obligated to seek Juliet at her balcony, and charm the engagement into existence. However the reality was that the relationship was condemned before it had even began due to the parent's hatred for one another. Romeo knew the two families didn't get on, so he also should have also known that the relationship was ill fated. Yet he still persisted in promoting the relationship. Surely he could have controlled his urges and stayed in the bushes in front of Juliet's balcony on the night of the Capulet party. On the other hand love is often considered an impulsive thing, and Romeo being an impulsive person only made the matter worse. An example of Romeo's impulsive behavior was when he chased Tybalt after Tybalt killed Mercutio, which resulted in Tibet's death. Romeo was horrified with what he had done, and expressed that he felt very irresponsible by crying out;
Many can be blamed for the deaths of the young couple in the play Romeo and Juliet written by William Shakespeare. Romeo and Juliet are still young and very impulsive, they should not be blamed for their tragic end. They were driven by their love for each other. However, the influence of other characters combined with fate contributed to their untimely end. Furthermore, the lovers were suffering consequences from their destructive family feuding which kept them apart. Unfortunately for them, they were also receiving poor advices from both Friar Laurence and the Nurse despite their good intentions. Shakespeare wants the audience to see that the adults are to blame because of their foolish and childish actions. Romeo and Juliet’s disastrous ending was a combination of misleading advices, poor decisions, and tormenting situations from which there was no escape.
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
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. The two families were feuding and Romeo and Juliet could not stand being without each other. They both killed themselves because they thought life was not worth living without the other. Though there are many who can be blamed for this tragic ending, there are three that are the most responsible. Mercutio, The Nurse, and Friar Laurence are the three that deserve the most blame.
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.
Romeo and Juliet is a play that is a very well known love story of two star-crossed lovers that come from feuding families. The play Romeo and Juliet takes place in Verona, Italy and is a story of two desperate lovers that come together and fall in love with each other despite their feuding families. Throughout the story there are many events that lead to the tragedy that is Romeo and Juliet killing themselves. The true question is not how they died but rather who is to blame for their death. There are three things at fault for their death which are fate, the Capulet family, and Friar Lawrence who is most responsible for this tragedy.
Romeo’s decision to kill Tybalt is an example of Romeo’s irrationalism because the fight could have been avoided. Furthermore, this fight banished Romeo from Verona which resulted in many more situations which all led to the death of Romeo and Juliet. Next, when Romeo drank the poison next to Juliet, he was very quick to act. This terrible decision killed Romeo himself, and once Juliet woke up, she was also quick to stab herself, causing her to quickly die. Lastly, Friar Lawrence did not properly think through his plan to give Juliet the potion which would mimic her death because the message to Romeo did not arrive, causing Romeo to kill himself. In conclusion, these characters are held responsible for the deaths of Romeo and Juliet instead of
