who was to blame for the deatsh of romeo and juliet
...er to marry and calling her a wretch and hussy run Juliet into a corner with nothing left to do to save herself, except herself. Also, after Romeo kills Tybalt Juliet’s mum says, I’ll send one in Mantua, where that same banished runagate doth live, shall give him such an unaccustomed dram that he should soon keep Tybalt company, and then I hope thou wilt be satisfied,(87-93). This gives Juliet the thought that Romeo will be killed if her parents can have anything to do with it and that she will have to live without him. Come, cords, come, Nurse, I’ll to my wedding bed, and death, not Romeo take my maidenhead,(136-137) explains that Juliet would rather die a virgin rather than live without Romeo. The parents have proven many times how they could be the cause of the lovers’ deaths. The Friar can also be blamed for the deaths. For one, he is the person that agrees to marry the lovers. In one respect I’ll thy assistant be; for this alliance may so happy prove to turn your households’ rancor to pure love,(93-94). Though the friar may mean good, he can ultimately be traced back to their deaths. If he had not married them, than maybe Romeo and Juliet would have forgotten about each other, or ran away together, or solved their problems in other ways. The friar also could be blamed because he is the one that thought of the plan. By doing this, he foreshadows the deaths. He gives another complication to the plot, while he is still trying to do good. His plan, although it could work, probably is not plausible.

I do spy a kind of hope…And in this borrowed likeness of shrunken death, thou shalt continue two and forty hours and then awake from a pleasant sleep…In the meantime, against thou shalt awake, shall Romeo by my letters know our drift and hither shall he come,(69-116). This tells of the friars plan and shows how outrageous it truly is. Lastly, Friar Lawrence could be to blame because he should have been there in the cell to stop Romeo from killing himself and then from Juliet also for killing herself. If he had been there, then Romeo would have never taken to poison because he would have known that Juliet was not really dead. He said that he was going to be in the cell waiting for Juliet to wake up, but he wasn’t. When Romeo killed himself, it was just moments before Juliet woke up, so he should have been down there to save both of them. Lastly, Romeo and Juliet could be to blame for their own deaths. Many times, the couple act irrationally which ultimately leads them to death. Romeo has a very irrational and hasty personality. When seeing him for the first time, he has fallen for Rosaline, another girl, and he is all weepy and sad and end of the world-ish about his love for her. But then when Romeo meets Juliet, he imm...
