Mercutio Is Responsible For The Death Of Romeo And Juliet

Document D shows, “They are two-star crossed lovers who live apart from each other because of the war between the Montague and the Capulet family that results in death in order to be resolved.” This relates to when Juliet was upset with Father Capulet because he has made arrangements for her to marry Paris. Lord Capulet is unaware of Juliet liking an enemy from a different family. In addition, he also does not know that his daughter is in love with a banished lover who happened to kill Juliet's cousin. This action causes Juliet to fake her death with a sleeping drug. Due to being far away from his wife, Romeo hears about this news and commits suicide by drinking poison. A couple of moments later Juliet wakes up to find Romeo dead. Afterwards, she commits suicide by stabbing herself with a sword. When these deaths are seen, it causes the Montagues and the Capulets to come together. Romeo and Juliet's death could have been avoided if the fathers had stopped the feud between the two

Lord Capulet’s firm and merciless control can also be blamed for pushing his daughter to the extreme and ultimately her untimely death. When Juliet refuses to marry Paris, Lord Capulet proves his insensitivity, even threatening to disown his daughter and cast her to the streets if she does not obey his wishes. He warns her that she may “graze where [she] will, [she] will not house with [him]… for, by [his] soul, [he] will ne’er acknowledge [her]” (III v 200-205). These threats instill fear in Juliet, and in her despair, she seeks the advice of Friar Lawrence who gives her a potion that will make it appear as if she is dead the morning of the wedding. Lord Capulet can be blamed for his stubbornness and insensitivity despite his daughter’s sincere requests not to marry Paris.

. Firstly, Tybalt is to blame for Mercutio’s death as he actually gave him the wound that killed him. Also, Tybalt provokes Mercutio by insulting Romeo, ‘Thou art a villain.’ This is one of the biggest insults that Tybalt can give and would usually be followed by a duel. However, Romeo calmly replies by saying ‘Villain I am none / Therefore farewell. I see thou know’st me not.’ Because Romeo is not defending his honour, Mercutio is provoked by Tybalt’s insults and starts insulting Tybalt himself. This is what leads to the two of them fighting and Mercutio getting his fatal wound. So, if Tybalt didn’t insult Romeo or fight Mercutio, Mercutio wouldn’t have been killed.

The rage that this quote later gave Tybalt eventually led to the death of Mercutio which also led to the two deaths of Romeo and Juliet.

He changes his mind very quickly and can flip-flop between what he wants for Juliet. For example, as Paris and Capulet are talking to each other Paris asks Lord Capulet for his permission to marry Juliet. Capulet then replies, “My will to her consent is but a part. And, she agreed, within her scope of choice lies my consent and fair according voice.” (1.2.17-19). In this quote, Lord Capulet is saying that his decision is only a part and if Juliet agrees to marry Paris his blessing will confirm her choice. Soon after Tybalt’s death, Capulet and Paris speak to one another once again. Tybalt suggests marrying Juliet to stop her mourning over the death of her cousin, Tybalt, and Lord Capulet agrees. Once Lord Capulet hears Juliet’s perspective on not marrying Paris he threatens her by saying, “I tell thee what: get thee to church o’ Thursday, or never after look me in the face” (3.5.167-168). This quote shows that Lord Capulet is forcing Juliet to marry Paris or else she cannot return back home. He doesn’t listen to Juliet’s opinion and seems to not care if she is happy or not with the marriage. This proves that Lord Capulet is fickle and is most responsible for Juliet’s

In document B, the Lady Capulet is questioning her about marriage asking if she can love Paris “The valiant Paris seeks you for his love… What say you? Can you love the gentleman? This night you shall behold him at our feast;”(DBQ: Who’s to Blame, Document B). Once again throughout the poem, Lady Capulet tells Juliet she has to get married “But now I’ll tell thee joyful tidings, girl… Marry, my child, early next Thursday morn...The County Paris, at Saint Peter’s Church, Shall happily make thee there a joyful bride” (DBQ: Who’s to Blame, Document D) and Juliet refuses because she was previously married to Romeo and getting married to two people without an annulment is a sin “...He shall not make thee there a joyful bride...” (DBQ: Who’s to Blame, Document D). Whenever her father learns of Juliet's refusal he goes wild “Hang thee, young baggage! Disobedient wretch! I tell the what: get thee to church o’ Thursday Or never after look me in the face: Speak not, reply, not do not answer me; My fingers itch”. Afterwards, Juliet begs Friar for a way to prevent this marriage and he gives her a potion. Him giving her the potion in the end killed Paris, Romeo and

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.
