Blame In Shakespeare's Romeo And Juliet

Juliet has came to the conclusion that since Romeo is her husband, even though he killed her own cousin, that she should always have his back. Also, Juliet even threatens her Nurse, someone who she has trusted and has been with since birth. She threatened to have sores over her tongue. Juliet has had this passion, out of nowhere. She just met Romeo recently, and decides to be passionate about him because she thinks that marrying him will help the feud between the Montagues and Capulets and that Romeo is attractive, so therefore he is a good man. In fact, this isn’t true. Romeo has killed a Capulet over Juliet, Tybalt! Juliet’s passion about Romeo has driven her to do many crazy things. Lastly, Juliet feels the need to defend herself in the end. Juliet says that it is a good thing that Romeo killed Tybalt because Tybalt would have killed Romeo. She thinks it’s better to have Romeo alive than her own

In spite of Lady Capulet and Lord Capulet wishing the best for their daughter, they make extreme life choices for Juliet against her will. As when Lady Capulet insists that Juliet marries Paris,” Marry my child, early next Thursday morn” (Act 3 Scene 5 Line 113). It is important to realize Juliet does not wish to marry Paris since she has already said her vows to another, Romeo. So, since Lady Capulet will not listen to Juliet’s declination, Juliet looks to father for support. Alternatively, Lord Capulet threatens to disown Juliet,” Graze where you will, you shall not house with me” (Act 3 Scene 5 Line190). Lord Capulet’s action demoralizes Juliet leaving her with no one to

Within every tragic ending, lies at least one or more accomplice. In the play Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare, many things happen that involve many different people, so it could be hard to pinpoint one person to blame for the deaths of the two young lovers Romeo and Juliet. Romeo, Benvolio, and the Capulet and Montague ancestors are to blame. Romeo is to blame because he acts rashly and does not think things through. Benvolio is at fault because he encourages Romeo to go to a Capulet party where he meets the love of his life. Romeo and Juliet's ancestors are also to blame because they created the feud that resulted in the lover’s tragic end. With so many people playing a part in the relationship, putting the blame on one person is difficult.

What is blame? Blame is an assigned responsibility for a fault or a wrong. Dr. Henry Cloud and Dr. John Townsend explain to the readers, "We live in a culture of blame. People will blame anyone or anything for their misery sooner than take the responsibility to own it and make it better,” (Cloud and Townsend, 1). The quote above elucidates that people resort to blame because psychologically they do not want to take responsibility for the fault that they have committed. Blaming is a factor in Shakespeare’s famous play, Romeo and Juliet, for the reason that blaming is a major cause of Romeo and Juliet’s death. Friar Lawrence and Capulet are two of the main factors to blame for the death of Romeo and Juliet.

At this point, Lady Capulet abandons Juliet and they are separated from each other, causing Juliet to be completely isolated from her parents. Lady Capulet completely disregards any concern for Juliet and shows how selfish and cold hearted she is, which also causes Juliet to feel emotionally isolated. Due to Juliet’s isolation from her parents, this was Lady Capulet’s last discussion with Juliet in the play because her parent’s actions influenced her to flee to Friar Laurence to seek for assistance, which eventually leads to her downfall and

As you can see in the text, Juliet asks for help from her mother and she completely ignores her. By not getting involved in the argument between Lord Capulet and Juliet, Lady Capulet was turning her back on her daughter's dreams and beliefs about love. She was the one who essentially removed any chance Juliet had of being with anyone other than Paris. You might argue that Lord and Lady Capulet were innocent parents who just wanted the best man for their child. However, Lord and Lady Capulet are responsible for the death of Romeo and Juliet because they got mad at Juliet for wanting to marry someone else too quickly and they were never forgiving of Juliet's feelings.

Blame essentially means accusing someone of an action for imperfection. Humans will most likely blame another person for self reassurance or the feeling of weight off one's shoulders. The quote from, It's Not My Fault: The No-Excuse Plan for Overcoming Life's Obstacles acts jointly with William Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet. Blame inhabits a major factor in Romeo and Juliet and presented by the death of Romeo and for the death of Juliet. People will accuse other people for self-efficiency just so they feel better in themselves, therefore as Capulet stipulates Juliet into marriage and Friar Lawrence gives the blessing of Romeo and Juliet's marriage exemplifies blame.

Blame is assigning responsibility for an action that has occurred. Well, who is to blame for the deaths of Romeo and Juliet in William Shakespeare’s play, “The tragedy of Romeo and Juliet”? Every partaker of this play had a piece of the blame because of the lack of communication and inability to see the other person’s point of view. The Capulets speed up Juliet’s marriage to Paris causing her to fake her death because of her love for another.

Lady Capulet, (Juliet’s mother) tries to keep Juliet out of trouble and tabs on her. Capulet (Juliet’s father) would do the same. He did do the same. For Juliet keeping from her parents that her and Romeo are together, she could get killed. Her parents could have killed her. Her father and mother would have the right to do that because she lied to them and it’s like a disgrace to the family. But don’t get me wrong, the Capulets loved Juliet very much and care about her a lot too. A part in the play where it shows how much they care for her is Scene 5, act 3. Lady Capulet comforts Juliet after she found out about Tybalt’s death. She says, “Evermore weeping for your cousin’s death? What, wilt thou wash him from his grave with tears? An if thou couldst, thou couldst not make him live. Therefore have done. Some grief shows still and some want of wilt.” Juliet responded with, “Yet let me weep for such a feeling loss.” Lady Capulet said, “So shall you feel the loss, but not the friend which you weep for.” To me Lady Capulet was comforting Juliet by saying it’s okay to cry a little to show love, but not a lot, that shows a lack of good sense. A place where Capulet says something to Juliet about caring is Scene 2, act 1. Capulet says, “But saying o’er what I have said before; my child is yet a stranger in the world, she hath not seen the change of fourteen; let two more summers with her in their pride ere we may think her ripe to be a bride.” Even though it’s about her wedding, (like everything her father says is) he says he wants her to mature before she gets married and that’s a good thing. He cares and wants her to understand even though she doesn’t. But her parents, they care about her and love her. Yes, she is rebellious in the modern sense because she sneaks around to see Romeo and marries him without her parents approval or their

Blame is guilt put onto someone after an event has occurred with some sort of consequence. Most people resort to blame in fear of having to deal with the consequences. Blame is a factor in Romeo and Juliet because they blame multiple people for their misfortunes with their true love. The quote, "We live in a culture of blame. People will blame anyone or anything for their misery sooner than take the responsibility to own it and make it better” said by Dr. Henry Cloud and Dr. John Townsend describes what people do when their is blame about to be put on someone.

Blame is a huge factor of Romeo and Juliet. They blamed Romeo for Tybalt's death which got him banished. Romeo killed Tybalt because Tybalt killed M and Romeo revenged M death by killing M so he got banished for killing him . Blame is significant to Romeo and

Blame is mental reassurance, often that is the things people resort to. Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare are based on of blame and tragedy. William Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet is about two star-crossed lovers who fall in love at first sight, but it all goes downhill from there. Their love was just not meant to be because it ended in death. The people who were culpable for Romeo and Juliet's death is Lady Capulet and Lord Capulet Juliet's parents. The three main reasons why Lord and Lady Capulet are most capable is because they kept the feud going with the Montagues, they don't listen to their daughter and her opinions, and lastly, they blame Romeo for Tybalt's death, and because of it, Prince Escalus banished Romeo.

Romeo and Juliet is a play written by Shakespeare about the children of enemies falling in love, dying tragically and stopping the conflict between their houses. Though the story is beautifully written, the question still remains: who is the most responsible for the deaths of Romeo and Juliet? Considering the evidence from the play, the blame would fall on the teens themselves.

Juliet’s parents’ lack of knowledge of their daughter’s love life contributes to her death. In Act 3 Scene 5 Lady Capulet walks in on Juliet crying and assumes the tears are for her deceased cousin Tybalt. Shakespeare uses dramatic irony while Lady Capulet and Juliet speak about Romeo. Juliet says to her mother “Indeed, I shall never be satisfied / With Romeo, till I behold him –dead” The reader knows, while Lady Capulet is unaware, that Juliet is speaking about him in a loving way rather than wishing him dead. Also in this scene Lady and Lord Capulet tell Juliet that they have arranged for her to marry Paris. When Juliet refuses her father yells at her and accuses her of being ungrateful. The Capulets are not aware that Juliet is already married therefore are not understanding of her wishes to

Due to the nurse being so unclear, Juliet thinks that both Romeo and Tybalt both have died. Once things clear up, Juliet figures out that Romeo has killed Tybalt, and her first reaction to this is anger toward Romeo. After things cool down, she feels bad that she has said this, and she takes her words back. Once Juliet learns about the punishment Romeo gets she feels the worst she has ever felt. Romeo was given the sentence of exile, which in the time period meant no connection to people, whatsoever. Due to this Juliet knows that she might never ever see the love of her life, at all. To Juliet this meant that there would be no more Romeo, “Juliet feels that Romeo is no longer her lover, and she can’t have him again” (Moffat 139). She started crying a lot after this, so much that her parents had to come to her room and see what was going on. When Lady Capulet inquired as to why Juliet was crying, Juliet right away said that she was crying about the horrible death of Tybalt. Lady Capulet responds to this by saying, “Well, girl thou weep’st not so much for his death, as that the villain lives which slaughtered him” (Romeo and Juliet 3.5.65-66). Juliet had just tricked her mother into thinking that she wasn't crying for Romeo, but rather Tybalt. The dramatic irony in this case is that the reader knows that Juliet is lying to her mother, but Lady Capulet actually believes this, and goes along with it.
