Causes Of Crime In Romeo And Juliet

“The only man I love is the son of the only man I hate! I saw him...and I found out who he was too late! Love is a monster for making me fall in love with my worst enemy” (Act 1, Scene 5, 136-140.) This quote shows that their love was doomed from the start because Romeo was a montague. Their love was already ill-fated, because of their last names and how they came from two different families whom were enemies. “Come, bitter poison, come, unsavory guide! You desperate pilot, let’s crash this sea-weary ship into rocks! Here’s to my love!” (Act 5, Scene 3, 115-117) This shows how Romeo took away his life, because he thought Juliet died when she was still alive. Romeo had already sealed his fate when he took his own life away. “Oh noise? Then I’ll be quick. Oh good, a knife! My body will be your sheath. Rust inside my body and let me die” (Act 5, Scene 3, 168-170.) Juliet woke from the sleeping potion and discovered Romeo was dead so she killed herself. They both died an unfortunate, sad

Friar Lawrence is the one to blame for Romeo and Juliet's deaths because he fell upon several faults that he should not have encouraged. Some things Friar Lawrence did that was not good is providing the poison and sleeping potion to Juliet so

The story of Romeo and Juliet, written by William Shakespeare, results in a tragedy where both main characters die. Friar Lawrence, a character Romeo and Juliet turn to for advice, is the cause of this tragedy. Friar Lawrence is responsible for organising the marriage of Romeo and Juliet, devising a plan to help Juliet fake her death, and he is responsible for the letter informing Romeo of this plan which does not arrive. These three events lead to both Romeo and Juliet committing suicide.

Romeo’s hastiness was to blame because when he met Juliet for the first time he went to kiss her, here is what Romeo said “Then move not while my prayer’s effect I take (kisses Juliet) Thus from my lips, by thine, my sin is purged.”(1.5.116) Then Juliet asks Romeo if they wanted to get married “If that thy bent of love be honorable, Thy purpose marriage, send me word tomorrow.”(2.2.149) Romeo of course said yes and prepared everything with Friar Lawrence.

Friar Lawrence, though a wise and good man, is responsible for Romeo and Juliet´s death. Friar, despite the known fact that these two lovers´ families despised one another, married the two. ¨For, by your leaves, you shall not stay alone. Till holy church incorporate two in one.¨ (2.6, 30). This dangerous act could have created more fury and hatred between the two families, resulting in violence, and possible murders. Back in this time period, decapitation was the most common way of punishment, which also could have been the case for Romeo and Juliet.

In Romeo and Juliet, it is Romeo’s foolish impulsivity that wreaks havoc on the Montagues and Capulets. Ultimately, this results in the deaths of the protagonists. However, while Romeo Montague seems to be at fault for his and Juliet’s deaths, some may argue that Juliet is to blame. This is a valid point because Juliet’s complicit plan led to the deaths of these two protagonists. Nonetheless, while Juliet may be at fault, Romeo’s impulsive actions and rash decisions are what cause both of their deaths. In Act 5, Scene 2, Romeo bribes the poor apothecary for poison, paying anything for an elixir that will kill him, and he ends up taking it. Juliet on the other hand, merely fakes her death. And of course, anyone who decides to marry someone they just met a few hours ago arguably has a fatal

The first reason Romeo is responsible is if he had not gone to the Capulet party none of these deaths would have occurred. He went to the party and Tybalt, nephew to lady Capulet thought he was there to mock their party. When Romeo was confronted by him at the party lord Capulet excused him and let Romeo stay. When Romeo was dancing he met Juliet and instantly fell in love with

Another reason to believe that it is the friars fault for Romeos & Juliets death is he gives juliet the idea of taking the poison. He tells her ”Thou hast strength of will to slay thyself, Thon is it likely thou wilt undertake A thing like death to chide away this shame, That cop’st with death himself to scape from it:”.

Juliet had gone to the Friar and begged for assistance in avoiding the marriage to Paris in order to stay loyal to Romeo. She had feigned death and was to be reunited with Romeo who was to spirit her away from Verona. However, it seems the Friar’s plan had gone sour when Romeo had failed to receive news that Juliet wasn’t actually dead. According to Balthasar and County Paris’s Page, Romeo and Paris had dueled in the graveyard before Romeo met his end. Romeo had slayed County Paris before proceeding into the tomb. Then, Romeo who was heartbroken over the “death” of his lady-wife took his own life with poison. Consequently, Juliet, after she had awoken from her fake death, saw the dead body of her beloved and proceeded to take her own life with Romeo’s dagger(Act 5, Scene 3). Aside from that, Romeo and Juliet should’ve been punished had they lived. Neither had the foresight to request marriage between the houses to their parents. Due to the foolishness of their youth, neither Romeo or Juliet could

Some claimed it was separate incidents with no concordance to one another, yet some mused all were the work of one man alone. Nevertheless, the accusations resulted to one outcome: death. He was still on the loose though, and to think that Juliet might be with him right now drained the color off her complexion and exacerbated her already frantic heart apace. They would be the same with the other women who had been slain, splattered on the cover of the newspaper she read a fortnight

The Most Excellent and Lamentable Tragedy of Romeo and Juliet is a famous play written by William Shakespeare in 1597. The play revolves around two young lovers and their journey from love at first sight to their death in the Capulet tomb. Friar Lawrence was an innocent man and does not deserve to be held accountable for death of Romeo and Juliet. Friar Lawrence married the two young lovers out of hope that it might bring an end to the persistent feuding between both the Montague and Capulet families. Friar Lawrence cannot be held accountable for Balthasar reaching Romeo before Friar John. Juliet was already going to kill herself and Friar Lawrence delayed her death. The tragic end that was brought to the two young lovers was not the fault of Friar Lawrence - who only acted out of good heart.

Three months ago, I was entrusted with the crucial duty of determining who was to blame for the tragic death of Romeo Montage and Juliet Capulet. Today I present my findings. I have come to the decision that Romeo Montage is responsible for the death of these two star-crossed lovers.

In the play, Romeo and Juliet, written by William Shakespeare, the person most responsible for the tragic deaths of the star-crossed lovers is often debated about. The story is based in Verona and is in no way a romantic play as there are many tragic events that take place in between the feuding families of the Montagues and the Capulets. Romeo, of the Montagues, and Juliet, of the Capulets, fall in love and die an unfortunate death at the end of the play. Everyone in the play had a role in the death of the two lovers. If you changed a single thing, the whole story would change. Friar Lawrence played an essential role in the deaths and lives of Romeo and Juliet. I believe that he is the person most responsible for their deaths because he kept the couple’s love a secret, he bonded the two in marriage, and he planned for Juliet to fake her death. These events led to their deaths, therefore, blaming Friar Laurence.

First of all, I blame Romeo. Throughout the play, he made a lot of choices and bad decisions, and they all led up to the result that occurred. For example, after Tybalt slays Mercutio, Romeo says “Either thou, or I, or both, must go with him” (Act 3, Scene 1). This is him deciding that he must fight Tybalt until one, or both of them is dead. If Romeo had just left it alone and didn’t kill Tybalt, he wouldn’t have been banished, and Juliet wouldn’t have had to fake her death, leading to both Romeo and Juliet killing themselves.

It is true that Romeo and Juliet deceive others, and this contributes to their deaths. Both of the lovers hide a considerable amount of critical information from people surrounding them. They conceal their love from their parents, family and allies example holding a secret wedding. Romeo and Juliet demand of Fr. Laurence, ‘consent to marry’ then. Fr. Laurence then arranges ‘holy marriage’ between the two which creates unnecessary problems, such as the deaths of Tybalt and Mercutio because Romeo wouldn’t fight. Juliet threatens Fr. Lawrence that: ‘If, in thy wisdom, thou canst give me no help … with this knife … I long to die’ if she is not with Romeo, a love so strong it ends up dead. Both lovers at the end of the play are out of options to find a way to make their love last. Their deception is only a minor part in their deaths, though it still had a role.
