Reasons To Blame In Shakespeare's Romeo And Juliet

As the old saying goes, young love is blind. Romeo and Juliet is a play written by William Shakespeare, two star-crossed lovers defying their families’ ancient grudge to be with each other, even if that means in death. The question is who is to blame? Romeo, even in death should be held responsible. If it weren’t for his series of misguided actions the outcome would have been very different. The situations he created for himself showed his fickle nature, impulsive behavior and impatient demeanor towards everything that occurred.

Romeo and Juliet deceive others due to the poor guidance they receive about their situation. They resort to deceit as a resolution for their desperate situations. Friar Laurence performs their secret marriage as he believes that this alliance could ‘…Turn [their] household’s rancour to pure love’. Juliet is later forced to marry Paris and asks the Nurse for assistance. The Nurse replies that Juliet is ‘…better in this second match’. The Nurse helped Juliet to marry Romeo but as the situation becomes tricky, she betrays Juliet and encourages her to marry Paris; she provides poor guidance in doing so. This poor advice convinces Juliet to consider a plan involving a ‘desperate… execution’. This desperate execution is provided to Juliet by Friar Laurence who provides Juliet with a potion that puts her in a sleep like death. The Friar

What happens in Romeo and Juliet is that Juliet is meant to marry Paris but she doesn’t want to so she drinks a poison that is meant to show all of the signs of death for a certain amount of time and then she would

In the very last scene of the play, Romeo goes back to Verona to go lay with his “dead” wife – who is actually under the influence of a death-like drug – after hearing from his servant about her death. He travels with his trustworthy servant all the way to the tomb, but when they reach the tomb, Romeo asks for his servant to leave. Romeo, in his obsession-driven self, threatens to tear his servant limb from limb and scatter his remains across the graveyard if he doesn’t leave Romeo. This shows that Romeo is losing himself. He isn’t just a man who likes the idea of love, he’s a man who drives himself insane with the idea of love. Even though his love for Juliet can be summed down to beauty, his mind amplifies his feelings for her. Towards the end of Act 5, Scene 3, Romeo drinks poison to “join” Juliet in her death. Romeo even goes as far as to call the poison a cordial because he believes that it will heal him – heal his pain of not being with Juliet. This shows that, Romeo’s obsessive nature made his irrational decision seem rational. A relationship to heal him from his pain of Rosaline turned into a relationship that ended with death. His mind created his feelings towards Juliet, yet he continued to let himself be deceived. His made-up passion-driven obsession with Juliet ultimately led to his

Once in a while many people make bad decisions. Usually these decisions don’t cause them any harm in their futures, unlike Romeo Montague’s and Juliet Capulet’s decisions.

Eventually Romeo get’s banished from Verona, and Juliet is forced to marry someone she doesn’t want to marry. Juliet takes a potion that knocks her out for 42 hours, and feigns her death, hoping she does not have to marry Count Paris. Romeo assumes Juliet is dead, and drinks a potion that kills him, and when Juliet wakes up and realizes that Romeo is dead, she stabs herself.

Blame is to put someone else at fault for something he or she did. In life people resort to blame, because it’s easier on the person who’s at fault to relieve some of that fault on another person. Blame plays a factor in Romeo and Juliet when both Tybalt and Mercutio were fighting and they both ended up dying and the Prince ends up putting the blame of their deaths on Romeo to make sure both sides come to a stand point. The factors to blame for both Romeo and Juliet's death was Friar Lawrence. The quote by Dr. Henry Cloud and Dr. John Townsend ties in with this, because Friar Lawrence was the main reason they ended up killing themselves.

What is blame? Blame is assigned responsibility for fault or wrong. People resort to blame because instead of taking responsibility for their actions you find someone and find reasons as to which they are worst or why they should have the blame because you do not want all the shame on yourself and you do not want to feel guilty and have shame. People blame each other because they cannot expect the fact that they have failed at something. People also blame others because of habit.

Blame is not always associated with one person; it can be associated with multiple people and things together. William Shakespeare’s tragic play, Romeo and Juliet, portrays two star-crossed lovers named Romeo and Juliet, part of two warring families. The two even get married, partly to end the feud. Finally, the feud between the two households causes tragic results for both of them. Friar Lawrence, Balthazar, and the Black Plague spark the tragic death of Romeo and Juliet.

Students in high schools across the country still study William Shakespeare's plays even though they are hundreds of years old and very hard to read. We do so because these plays still have relevance today. For example, one of the themes of Romeo and Juliet is suicide. Unfortunately, suicide is still very much apart of our society today, especially among teens. When a young person commits suicide one of the first things to happen is that we try to assign blame to one person or one reason.

He realizes he will no longer be able to see Juliet, and he cannot cope with himself anymore. Romeo feels that he has failed Juliet because he was blinded by his family ties. Romeo does not want to kill himself until he hears that his true love, Juliet, is dead. His realization of the sacrifices one needs to make for love allowed him to grow in maturity. Shakespeare writes, “I sell thee poison; thou hast sold me none, Farewell, buy food, and get thyself in flesh, (Romeo & Juliet. 5.2.217).” This excerpt shows how little value he has placed on worldly things, and only cares about being with Juliet. He has always been love-struck; however, it is more of an obligation he is fulfilling. Although his decision to kill himself was rash, Romeo is a young lover and felt his actions resulted in the death of Juliet.

Therefore, one’s haste may provoke another’s which leads down a spiral of impulsiveness that is usually unpleasant. When Juliet’s father Capulet arranges for her to be married to County Paris, she refuses. This is due to both her faithfulness to Romeo and the fact that she has already married him as well. Because of her disobedience, he makes an impetuous decision to move the wedding date closer which brings conflict to Juliet’s plan with Friar Lawrence to fake her death. In this haste, she still takes the poison amid her worrying and desperately hopes that everything goes according to plan.
