Death In William Shakespeare's Romeo And Juliet

When telling the tragic, but beloved story of Romeo and Juliet from one of William Shakespeare’s many plays there are several characters in the story that could possibly be held responsible for the star-crossed lovers deaths. Three of those many characters should stand out more than others to blame for the beloved main characters deaths. These three characters are the Feud, Lady Capulet, and Fate. The Feud is one choice to blame because it it the cause of many other conflicts that take place in the story. While Lady Capulet does not cause as many conflicts as the Feud she does present one main problem to Juliet by pressuring her to get married to Paris as soon as possible. Lastly Fate is used many times in the play to explain why Romeo and

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.

Romeo and Juliet, written by William Shakespeare, was originally published in 1597. Until this day, the play is very well known worldwide. The classic love story is set in Verona and is about a long feud between the Montague and Capulet families. This feud causes the death of their beloved children, Romeo and Juliet, who are described as “star-crossed lovers.” It is a play of contrasts of love and hate, joy and sorrow, light and dark, youth and age, life and death. Some readers will blame the main characters, Romeo and Juliet for bringing about their tragic deaths, however some may argue that other characters are responsible for their deaths, with only little of the blame to be placed on Romeo and Juliet.

Many themes are explored however the theme of love and death is far the most prominent throughout William Shakespeare’s best known play, Romeo and Juliet. The theme is explored through the language techniques Shakespeare used, for instance the oxymoron’s and motifs, and the characterisation, being the characters Paris and Capulet.

The ending of Shakespeare’s famous play Romeo & Juliet, is devastating yet expected, as the “pair of star-cross’d lovers” (Prologue.9) dramatically kill themselves, leaving their friends and family in pure shock and sadness. In the play, the situations leading up to this dreadful incident should be blamed on the lovers themselves, as well as their secrecy with the absurd relationship that was caused by the couple’s family feud which definitely takes the blame for the double suicide. A long string of events that happened which lead to these deaths, were triggered by these three situations.

Romeo and Juliet killed each other. They were young and had many years ahead. There's plenty of people to fall in love with. They were over dramatic. They only knew each other for a few days and got married. They knew their parents hated each other, but didn't care. That led to their death. They had to hide their love. Romeo killed her cousin and he was sent away. Juliet's father wanted her to marry Paris. Juliet only wanted to be with Romeo. Juliet would go to the extreme to be with him. Even if it took her life. She drank poison to fake her death. She was put in a cellar, and when Romeo went to see her she was dead. Or he thought. He killed himself to be with her. She woke up and saw Romeo dead. So she killed herself. They were being careless and didn't know what true love was. They could have worked things out with

Throughout Romeo and Juliet, Shakespeare presents many different aspects of Death in many different ways.

At one point Romeo even says, “This doth not so, for she divideth us” (act 3 scene 5 line 20). After they realized it was morning Romeo and Juliet look at each other and Juliet says “ Thou art so low as one dead in the bottom of a tomb” (Act 3 scene 5 lines 55-56). Shakespeare is foreshadowing that next time the two lovers see each other, they will both be dead. Even if they are trying to ignore their fate they are unable to because fate is already had taken its route.

Many teens today think of suicide their way out of their most complicated problems. Lots of teen suicides revolved around love. Although many signs of this appear in a form of depression or recent change in the teen's behavioral actions. As much as it is a problem today, it hurts many friends and families today. The societal issues in Romeo and Juliet still exist today.

Today’s world, 2016, an average of 1 person every 15 minutes commits suicide a day in the United States. When someone loses a loved one they ask, why that person did such a grand action. Was it work, school, or family that caused such emotional trauma? Even with direct reasons pointing to those close to a depressed person, people always blame the one who physically did the killing, the suicidal person. But what if they were pressured to do things they didn’t want to, harassed about choices they made, or ignored for the things they liked? All of these things happened to Juliet in Romeo & Juliet, the Shakespeare play containing two star-crossed lovers, two enemy families, and two suicides that have stood the test of time and has captured the

A wedding is a joyful moment when families come together and celebrate the love between two people. Rarely, does a couple marry in secrecy and go as far as faking death to hide their love from their kinsmen. On even more rare accounts does the couple end their own lives, days after getting married. Unfortunately this was the case for the couple in William Shakespeare's play, The Tragedy of Romeo and Juliet. Throughout the play it is made clear that Romeo and Juliet are inseparable and madly in love. Unfortunately, the love between Romeo and Juliet is so strong and leads to both of their deaths. Even though many characters impact their deaths it is visible that two characters are most to blame. Sadly, Romeo and

Shakespeare manifests the final scene of Romeo and Juliet to illustrate how love triumphs over the terror of death and depicts how the Capulet and Montague parents’ mutual love for their children dismisses the ancient feud. The protagonists, Romeo and Juliet’s preference of being killed rather than “death be prorogued, wanting thy love” (Page 91; Act 2, Scene 2), indicates they would rather die than death be delayed without the fulfilment of each other’s love. Romeo commits suicide as he is unaware that Juliet’s death is fiction, which results in Juliet finding his corpse when she awakens and stabs herself as they both do not wish to live with the absence of each other’s love. Again, Shakespeare portrays that love conquers the most feared prospect of life:
