I was hurt under your arm.”(3.1.70) with these words, Romeo feels guilty about his best friend's death, that was mainly caused because Romeo denied fighting Tybalt.

Many have said that romance brings love and affection, but when taken to the extreme, it can lead to tragedy and despair. In the literary play Romeo and Juliet, William Shakespeare created a tragedy protagonist, Juliet, whose tragic death “buries their parents’ strife” (Prologue). The eternal feud between Montague and Capulets restraints the love between Romeo and Juliet and ultimately lead to their death. Juliet’s death has many different factors, and it’s hard to determine the truly blame of Juliet’s death. In all the important characters, Lord Capulet refuses to listen to Juliet’s request, which result in Juliet’s death. In the other hand, Romeo’s immature, impulsive and Friar Lawrence’s cowardice are all generate Juliet’s tragedy.

He is the one who tries to pick Romeo back up and dust him off. Even though Romeo may not have admitted it, Mercutio was portrayed as his rock. That is why when he dies, this triggers a turning point in the play for the worst, resulting in multiple deaths and even an exile. Romeo and Juliet’s plan was caused by the death of Mercutio, because if he had not fallen, Romeo would not have lost his temper and slain Tybalt in a fit of rage. Romeo feels to blame since Mercutio “…got his mortal hurt in [Romeo’s] behalf;” (III.i.106-107). In turn, Romeo strives for vengeance and achieves it through the death of Tybalt. Although Mercutio is considered to be a subsidiary character, the outcome of the story would have been much

Feeling guilty, Romeo feels responsible for Mercutio’s dying because as Mercutio is about to die, he blames Romeo for his loss. Trying to redeem himself he kills Tybalt in vengeance for Mercutio. Afterwards, the Prince banishes Romeo from Verona for the murder of Tybalt. Romeo kills Tybalt on impulse and does not think about the consequences and acts before he thinks. Romeo does not think at all when he kills Juliet’s cousin Tybalt. Romeo’s banishing is one of the most

Romeo and Juliet, the Shakespearean playwright of two star crossed lovers, ends in two tragic deaths of both Romeo and Juliet. Who can be hold responsible for their deaths, when so many things went wrong along the way? Many could be held responsible for the deaths of the two lovers, but Romeo himself deserves to carry the heavier load of responsible for not only his death, but the death of his lover, Juliet as well. The young boy’s acts of irresponsibility, impulse, belligerence, immaturity, and streak of bad decisions only brought definite consequences to both himself and Juliet.

In William Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet, many characters meet their tragic end as a result of a plethora of factors, from old rivalries to new love. It is a tragic story of two lovers, destined to complete each other, but also to end a bitter feud through their deaths (Prologue.3-6). However, if the blame had to be ascribed to one person in particular, that person would be Romeo Montague. Throughout the play, Shakespeare showcases Romeo’s irrationality and poor decision making, leading to the gruesome deaths of his loved ones. Romeo is most to blame for the tragic slew of deaths because he is oblivious, quick to act, and too urgent in his relationship.

Tybalt is responsible for the deaths of Romeo and Juliet because he doesn't like Romeo and is always trying to start a fight with him. Tybalt states “ Romeo, the love i bear thee can afford no better term than this: thou art a villian.... Boy this shall not excuse the injuries that thou hast done to me; therefore turn and draw “ ( 145 ). In act 3 when Tybalt is trying to pick a fight again Romeo responds with patience and love but when Mercutio steps in everything starts heading downhill. Romeo tries to stop the fight which consequently leads to Mercutio's death. Romeo, full of rage kills Tybalt in return and this is what leads to his banishment. As a result of Tybalt's foolishness he is dead and Romeo has to now suffer the banishment. The banishment is the final straw for Romeo so when he hears Juliet is dead he already isn't thinking straight and doesn't have Friar to turn to this

Mercutio’s death works as a catalyst for the tragedy of Romeo and Juliet. From the moment that Mercutio is stabbed by Tybalt, the actual tragedy aspect of the play begins. Up to Mercutio’s death, the play follows a rather light-hearted, dramatized tone, but once his death plays out, the plot turns to focus on the misfortunes of the rest of the characters. Following Mercutio’s death, Romeo hints at the disasters to come by saying, “This day’s black fate on more days doth depend. This but begins the woe others must end (3.1.124-125)”. Moments after Mercutio’s death, Romeo is already aware of what troubles will arise. As Mercutio is held as Romeo’s stability, Romeo knows that something will begin from the end of Mercutio. As Mercutio’s death plays out, both Mercutio and Romeo are correct in the sense of their knowledge of Mercutio’s death being held as a catalyst, even if no one else does. If Romeo had died in the fight rather than Mercutio, the tragedy would not have happened, as Mercutio is more levelheaded than Romeo, and would have made sure the situation

Romeo and Tybalt fight each other and they exchange a conversation in which they say,” Now, Tybalt, take the ‘villain’ back again that late thou gavest me; for Mercutio’s soul is but a little way above our heads, staying for thine to keep him company: either thou, or I, or both, must go with him. Thou, wretched boy, that didst consort him here, shalt with him hence. This shall determine that. [They fight; Tybalt falls]” (Shakespeare, III.i.46). When Mercutio was slain by Tybalt, Romeo chose to stay and try to get revenge for Mercutio’s death. At the time, Romeo was already Tybalt’s kinsman because he and Juliet were already married, and Romeo could have left the scene and let the law do it’s job with Tybalt. However, Romeo was only infatuated with Juliet, and as a result, only realized the impact of his actions after he had killed Tybalt. In addition, Juliet decides to follow Friar Laurence’s plan, in which he tells her to “for no pulse shall keep his native progress, but surcease: no warmth, no breath, shall testify thou livest; … Shall Romeo by my letters know our drift; and hither shall he come” and he and I will watch thy waking, and that very night shall Romeo bear thee hence to Mantua” (Shakespeare, IV.ii.70). Friar Laurence instructs Juliet to take this vial that will fake her death, while he sends a letter to Romeo telling him of this,

In contrast, Mercutio attempts to stop Tybalt’s thirst for vengeance when he tries to duel Romeo but ultimately gets killed in the process of trying to save his good friend from being killed by Tybalt which causes Romeo to take vengeance upon Tybalt by killing him.

As the fight is getting more and more intense, Romeo, Mercutio’s best friend, intervenes in the fight. He steps in between both Tybalt and Mercutio, and while he is in the way, Mercutio gets stabbed by Tybalt. The moment Mercutio gets stabbed, he becomes furious with Romeo for getting in his way of the fight. Even though Romeo was trying to help Mercutio stay out of trouble, he was the only reason that Mercutio got stabbed. His last few words to his beloved best friend, Romeo, was, “A plague o’ both of your households!” (Act III, Sc. 1). This shows foreshadowing of the two lover’s fatal end because he cursed the two household to have a horrible life. Also, a “plague” of sadness will indeed strike the two households when Romeo and Juliet take their

Tybalt had killed Mercutio out of anger earlier that day, when Tybalt was alone Romeo ran into him and pulled out his gun and shot Tybalt for revenge of Mercutio. When Romeo kills Tybalt he says this, “Now, Tybalt, take the ‘villain’ back again / That late thou gavest me, for Mercutio’s soul / Is but a little way above our heads, / Staying for thine to keep him company. / Either thou or I, or both, must go with him” (3.1.121-125). After Tybalt dies Romeo says this quote meaning you took Mercutio’s life now he take yours, Mercutio’s soul is in heaven and either Tybalt or himself must go with him. This could’ve been stopped if Tybalt would’ve never killed

As a friend of Romeo’s, Mercutio supports the Montague’s in the ancient feud. An example of Mercutio defending the Montague’s is when Tybalt, a member of the loathed Capulet family, abuses Romeo and Mercutio intervenes on Romeo’s behalf.

As Romeo kills Tybalt out of love for Mercutio, Shakespeare suggests that love conquered the thought of being penalized with death.
