Mercutio And Juliet In William Shakespeare's Romeo And Juliet

Romeo and Juliet were two young people from feuding families, who fell in love. Their love was so strong, that they ended up dying for each other. The ironic twist at the end of the story surprised many who had read it. But who is to blame for this tragedy? Many characters in this play could be to blame. We believe that some of the characters to blame are Capulet, Friar Lawrence, plus Romeo and Juliet themselves.

Everyone has their different opinions on who is to blame for the deaths of Romeo and Juliet. Romeo and Juliet is about two people that fall in love from two different families who are in a feud with each other. Lord Capulet is to blame for the deaths of Romeo and Juliet because when Romeo was at the Capulet part he didn’t let Tybalt do anything to make Romeo leave. Reason two is he is the one that planned for Juliet to get married to Paris without her consent. The third reason is because after Juliet says okay to marrying Paris (going along with the Friar’s plan), Lord Capulet tries moving the wedding day up to Wednesday instead of Thursday.

In the play, Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare, Lord Capulet is most to blame for Juliet’s death because he is verbally abusive and fickle. Lord Capulet shows change throughout the play and proves that his actions have consequences.

There are three characters in the story of Romeo and Juliet that take some and most of the blame on the death of the two Romeo and Juliet. Two of the characters take some of the blame while the third character takes all of the blame. The two characters that take some of the blame are Lady Capulet And Lord Capulet. Lady Capulet is married to Lord Capulet and have a daughter named Juliet. The third person that takes most of the blame for their death is not a person at all. It is fate. These three characters are the reason why Romeo and Juliet take their lives. ("DBQ: Romeo and Juliet: Who's to Blame". Doc.B,A,D)

In the play, Romeo and Juliet, there are many people to blame for Romeo and Juliet’s death. This is because Romeo and Juliet both committed suicide. When choosing who to blame, you have to look at who drove them the most. The best choices would be Juliet, Friar Lawrence, and Romeo. These people were picked because they play a big enough role in the deaths because of how much they were involved.

Many people can be put to blame for these two young people, including their parents, by keeping the feud between the two families going. Mercutio can be blamed, to some degree. He was the one who got Romeo to go to the ball. When Mercutio was killed, Romeo avenged his death, and ended up having to leave Verona instead of staying with Juliet.

In one if William Shakespeare's plays, "Romeo and Juliet", Mercutio, Romeo's best friend, makes a speech, the Queen Mab speech. According to Mercutio, Queen Mab is a tiny, mischievous fairy that rides around in an "empty hazelnut" as a chariot, drawn by a "team of little atomi" (I.IV. 59-69) and makes sleepers dream about good or bad things, for example, love. “Through lovers’ brains, and then they dream of love; On curtsies straight; o’er lawyer’ fingers, who straight dream of fees: o’er ladies’ lips, who straight on kisses dreams…” (I.IV.74-77)

Capulet is the second character that is responsible for Romeo and Juliet’s death. Capulet is responsible for their deaths because Capulet rushes Juliet’s marriage with Paris. Capulet wasn’t always in a rush with Juliet’s marriage. In Act I Capulet wanted Paris to wait a couple of years to marry Juliet, but Juliet didn’t want to marry Paris. She loved and married Romeo instead. In Act 3, Romeo killed Tybalt and caused Romeo’s banishment, causing Juliet to cry about Romeo’s banishment. Therefore, Capulet thought Juliet was crying about Tybalt, Capulet told Paris, “Things have fall’n out, sir, so unluckily, That we have had had no time to move our daughter; Look you, she loved her kinsman Tybalt dearly… Tis very late, she’ll not come to-night…” (3.5) Capulet doesn’t know about Juliet being married Romeo.

I believe that the most guilty for the death of Romeo and Juliet is Mercutio. Mercutio is the main source of the start of the chain of reactions leading to Romeo and Juliet’s deaths. To start with he is the reason Romeo met Juliet, specifically because if Mercutio had not told him to go to the party then he wouldn't have gone and met Juliet and none of this would have happened in the first place. Romeo even stated that going to the party was a bad idea hence the line “And we mean well in going to this mask, But ’tis no wit to go” but mercutio decided not to listen and they went anyway. Romeo would still instead be sad and depressed over Rosaline, which is a little better than being dead. He is also

Mercutio Is responsible for everything that as happened so far. It's his fault because of the way he handled the the fight. in many ways he used his own death along with Tybalt's death. He also cuales Romeo's banishment. It's all his fault everything.

When Mercutio first appears in Act 1, Scene 4, he, Romeo, and Benvolio are preparing to go to Capulet’s masquerade. Romeo does not want to participate, but Mercutio convinces him (I, iv. 41-42). Romeo agrees to participate, recognizing that he may not be entirely in control of his future (I, iv. 112-113). In the next scene, Romeo meets Juliet, creating the main storyline of the play. It is obvious that this would have only occurred due to Mercutio’s influence; Romeo would not have taken part if Mercutio had not convinced him to. Romeo was feeling too dejected, and would have sat on the sidelines instead. The other major example of Mercutio’s influence in the play is exhibited in the scene in which he dies. Tybalt challenges Romeo to a duel, who declines; Romeo does not want to fight his cousin. Tybalt, however, sees this as an insult and questions Romeo’s honour. Mercutio stands up for him, and Tybalt and Mercutio fight. Romeo attempted to stop them, but he is too late; Tybalt stabbed Mercutio, before fleeing the scene. With his dying breaths, Mercutio blames Romeo for his wound, saying “…Why the devil came you between us? I was hurt under your arm.” (III, i. 98-99). Romeo realizes that Mercutio’s wound truly was his fault, and his grief is made worse when he finds that Mercutio has died. Tybalt returns to find Romeo wracked with grief. To avenge his fallen friend, Romeo challenges Tybalt to a duel, which Romeo quickly wins. There is no question that this would have happened if Mercutio had not been killed; after all, Tybalt was Romeo’s cousin, if only for a couple of hours. In this scene, Mercutio not only influences Romeo, but with his death at Tybalt’s hands leads Romeo to kill Tybalt. In addition, Mercutio influenced the members of the Capulet family as well. Lastly, Mercutio’s death lead to a string

The scene introduces Mercutio, Romeo's clever and witty friend. Mercutio's character is personally interesting because he is able to poke fun on Romeo's statements about love and dreams while humorizing it

“A plague a’ both your houses!” (Shakespeare III, i. 102) Mercutio, on the brink of death at the hands of Tybalt, shouted this line to Romeo and Benvolio as he lay in his friends’ arms. His death acts as a turning point in the play, contrasting the previous humour of the first two acts with the tragedy of the last three. His death influences Romeo, causing him to kill Tybalt in revenge, sending Romeo down a winding path that led to his eventual downfall. Mercutio’s influence is seen often through the play, time and time again leading Romeo to make decisions that may not always be in his best interest. Mercutio acts as Romeo’s foil, using his quick wit and sexual interpretations of love to add humour to the play, but his actions that contribute to Romeo’s downfall are where his multi-faceted role is shown. Mercutio’s role in the play is very important to

“Romeo, the love I bear thee can afford No better term than this: thou art a villain.” said Tybalt. Me, a villain? How dare he call me that name? Does he know about me and beautiful Juliet? He can’t know. These are the only things that blow through my mind. I respond as if he knows nothing.
