Consequences Of Responsibility In Shakespeare's Romeo And Juliet

First of all, Romeo has a tendency to be fickle. He is stricken with grief because the lady he loved had turned him away. However, the moment he laid eyes on Juliet, this all seemed to go away, with him saying “Did my heart love till now?” (I.V 59). If it weren’t for his behavior and sudden change of mind then the whole situation will have not of taken place. Romeo’s fickle nature added to his responsibility and should be held accountable

From the very prologue of Romeo and Juliet, we are informed by Shakespeare that these two “star-cross’d lovers” are going to “take their life”. For the rest of the play, we are left to observe how they kill themselves and who or what leads them into doing so. However, placing the blame on one person or event would be impossible, as nobody was directly responsible for their demise. Instead, everything that could possibly have gone wrong did go wrong. Although both Romeo and Juliet end up thinking it was their own decision to kill themselves, there were many other factors that unwittingly forced them into the situation they eventually found themselves.

In The Tragedy of Romeo and Juliet written by William Shakespeare the characters Lord Capulet, Friar Laurence, and Tybalt are the ones to blame for the tragic ending. The first reasons are, Lord Capulet does not support Juliet. Friar Laurence married Romeo and Juliet in secret. Tybalt killed Mercutio; Romeo killed Tybalt so the feud got worse. In Act 3, scene 1, line 88 Mercutio says, “I am hurt.” Romeo tried to break up the fight between Mercutio and Tybalt. Mercutio got stabbed by Tybalt in the chest.

The play Romeo and Juliet is a tragic love story written by William Shakespeare. Shakespeare has written multiple other tragic plays such as Hamlet, Othello, and King Lear. Many people still have one question, and that is who is the most to blame for the deaths of Romeo and Juliet? The play is filled with many characters and every character plays a different role. But, in my opinion, Friar Lawrence is the most to blame for Romeo and Juliet deaths. The reason behind this is because he was the one to suggest their marriage to create peace between the two families. Friar Lawrence was also the one to provide Juliet with the poison and the message didn't get through to Romeo correctly making him kill himself. The play Romeo and Juliet is about two lovers that fell in love and if one does something the other will do.

Romeo was to blame for the misfortune in the city of verona. Romeo’s responsible for his hastiness, responsible for the deaths that happened in under 3 days and Convincing Friar Lawrence to get Romeo and Juliet.

Friar Lawrence tells Romeo he is exiled. Romeo thinks Friar Lawrence should “be merciful, [and] say ‘death’; for exile hath more terror in his look, much more than death. Do not say ‘banishment’”(III.III. 12-14). Romeo does not want to live without Juliet. He is dramatic and believes that if he cannot live with her there would be no point in living. Teenagers love is more lust than anything, but when it may be torn away from them they say and do irrational things out of impulse and anger. Romeo is talking to Friar Laurence and Romeo believes that exile is worse than death because “every cat and dog And little mouse, every unworthy thing, Live here in heaven and may look on her; But Romeo may not”(III.III.30-34). Everything else that lives in Verona may see Juliet, but Romeo cannot because he is banished. He would rather die than live without her. When based on love adolescents sometimes do things they may not mean. Romeo does not realize that exile is better than death, but in his state of mind of anger he cannot see that. Romeo acts impulsively when he is exiled because he refuses to live without

William Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet focus on the two young lovers, Romeo and Juliet, who fall in love and die within a span of three days. Romeo and Juliet illustrate how the love brings them together to over power the control of their relationship. The moment that Romeo and Juliet declare their love for one another, they try to keep their love a secret since they are the children of the feuding families, the Montagues and the Capulets. Initially their families would be outraged against their relationship that Romeo and Juliet propose to hide the truth of their love. Once Romeo and Juliet reveal to the Nurse and Friar Lawrence their plans to marry, their relationship is nothing but a risk of problems. Romeo is unafraid to show his love that he teases Tybalt teasing him about falling in love with Juliet, although not explicitly. However, the deaths of Mercutio and Tybalt, occur when Romeo and Juliet take actions to protect themselves, but they are not however, protected. Juliet protects her relationship by committing a false death only for Romeo to believe it as true. As a result, the act to protect Romeo and Juliet’s relationship a secret are examples of the failed actions both Romeo and Juliet try to prevent; however, it is not ‘fate’ that control their lives and deaths.

Have you’ve ever been included in a major disaster and did not know who to blame? When a tragedy occurs and a numerous amount of people are involved it can be very easy to accuse another. In Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare, it starts as a simple love story until a tragedy occurs that leaves one question, who is really at fault?

Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe, a German writer and author of Faust, once said, "Out of moderation, a pure happiness springs. " Living life at a moderate pace can refrain people from making and acting upon rash, unadvised decisions that they might regret in the long run. Instead, good and happiness can come from being moderate in life and love.

“I'd die for you That's easy to say we have a list of people that we would take a bullet for them...I'd live for you and that's hard to do” (Tyler Joseph). In the story Romeo and Juliet by Shakespeare, Romeo and Juliet fall in love, but they are from rival families, In the end they kill themselves so they don’t have to live without each other.

Responsible means having an obligation to do something, or having control over or care for someone, as part of one's job or role. In one way this is saying, being responsible for someone means to care for them and protect them, while in a different perspective, it means causing something to happen whether you mean it or not.
