I feel like Romeo is most responsible for the deaths of Romeo and Juliet. One reason I feel it is his fault is because he killed Tybalt. I know that Tybalt killed Mercutio, but Romeo should have stopped and realized the consequences he would have to face for killing Tybalt. The consequence for killing Tybalt led up to the reason that they were killed. He had to face the consequence of banishment and with that he also had to deal with the fact of not being able to see Juliet.
Also, if Romeo would have had fought Tybalt, Mercutio would still be alive.
When Romeo did not stand to fight Tybalt, Tybalt started hitting and kicking Romeo all around. Mercutio seeing that was enraged that Romeo let Tybalt kick him around and would not fight. This is

Tybalt in defense had no other choice but to fight Mercutio. Tybalt had no intentions in killing Mercutio, but like I said he had no choice. Everything that Tybalt did fighting Mercutio was in self defense.
Romeo also bought the poison to kill them. This is another reason that all of this is Romeos fault. So first he killed Tybalt, and then he refused to stand and fight Tybalt, and then he had a great thought to buy some poison to kill him and Juliet. Some evidence that he killed Tybalt is this line from the book “This shall determine that.” Then it said this [They fight, Tybalt falls]. Evidence that he would not fight is “I do protest in ever injure thee, but love thee brother. Finally evidence proving that he bought the poison is “Let me have a dram of poison.”
I know some people may say that Tybalt is to blame for all of this and they are kind of right, but if Romeo would have just stopped for two seconds and thought of the things that would happen if he was to go through with killing Tybalt for what he had done to Mercutio. I know that Tybalt has a little bit to do with it, but I know that most of this situation I to blame because of Romeo. One other thing that Romeo should
The next day, Benvolio and Romeo have an encounter with Tybalt, who is still out to get Romeo for crashing the Capulet’s party. When Romeo refuses to duel with Tybalt, Mercutio steps in and accepts the duel. This duel, however, ultimately led to the killing of Mercutio by Tybalt. Out of guilt for Mercutio, Romeo attacks Tybalt killing him.
Tybalt could also be held accountable for the deaths of Romeo and Juliet. Tybalt's nasty, hot-headed persona caused a lot of strife as he always started brawls and quarrelled with the Montagues. When Tybalt gets in a fight with Mercutio, despite the Prince's orders to
Tybalt is a very vengeful character. When tybalt and Mercutio fight, Mercutio gets stabbed and dies which will cause Romeo go crazy. “Why the devil come you between us? I was hurt under your arm.”(3.1.70) with these words, Romeo feels guilty about his best friend's death, that was mainly caused because Romeo denied fighting Tybalt.
In the play, Tybalt has a large influence on the death of Romeo and Juliet. He helps contribute to their deaths because he kills Mercutio and Romeo in turn kills Tybalt which causes Romeo to be banished from Verona. Then Juliet tells “Romeo is banished!” “There is not end no limit, measure, bound. In that word’s death: no words can that woe sound.” (Act III Scene II 128-130) If Romeo had taken the time to think before killing Tybalt he would not have killed him and therefore he would not be
In Shakespeare's “The tragedy of Romeo and Juliet” Tybalt is responsible for his own death due to the fact that all his actions are leading up to this one draining event. Tybalt was filled with rage and had an uncontrollable temper. He was arrogant enough to ignore the prince knowing the consequences soon to follow and came back to fight anyways, knowing what he had inflicted.
In the final scene, Romeo’s thoughts and actions are very rash when he decides to kill himself. When Romeo is told that Juliet has died, he immediately decides to kill himself. Romeo does not think of the pain and suffering that will come to his family and friends if he kills himself. Again, Romeo acts without thinking of the consequences of his actions. He has done without thought a sin that is not necessary and that could be avoided. Once again Romeo’s rashness brings causes problems and brings sadness to people that he loves.
Feeling guilty, Romeo feels responsible for Mercutio’s dying because as Mercutio is about to die, he blames Romeo for his loss. Trying to redeem himself he kills Tybalt in vengeance for Mercutio. Afterwards, the Prince banishes Romeo from Verona for the murder of Tybalt. Romeo kills Tybalt on impulse and does not think about the consequences and acts before he thinks. Romeo does not think at all when he kills Juliet’s cousin Tybalt. Romeo’s banishing is one of the most
Good mercutio!” Tybalt under romeo's arm thrusts mercutio with his sword and now he’s injured because romeo got in the way. Romeo should have never went back for tybalt it was his own fault anyways that mercutio was dead but apparently he
As the story of Romeo and Juliet further progresses, Romeo’s true character becomes more and more apparent; he seems to act solely by impulse. Romeo acts moreso with his emotions, and sudden thoughts than his brain which stores reason and logic. This causes for tragedy and unfortunate circumstance by the end of the poem. This shows how impulsive he is in most of his decisions and how he tends to be very dramatic in everything that he does. When Romeo discovers that Juliet is dead, he almost immediately dramatically decides to drink poison, to kill himself. “Here’s to love, O true apothecary, thy drugs are quick - thus with a kiss I die.” Which shows how quickly he makes wrash and dramatic decisions without thinking it through. If Romeo had not been so careless and impulsive in his decision, Juliet would have awoken and they would both still be alive.
In The Tragedy of Romeo and Juliet, Tybalt was the enforcer of the story and always tried to stir up more chaos in the feud between the Montagues and Capulets. An example of this can be found in Act 1, when the Capulet’s party is going on, when Tybalt senses Romeo, he ends up getting very defensive and angry, “This, by his voice, should be a Montague, / Fetch me my rapier, boy. . . Now, by the stock and honor of my kin, / To strike him dead I hold it not a sin” (5.52-57). Tybalt’s quick and unthoughtful actions make him a hot-headed character who is very easy to dislike. With Tybalt’s previous actions, the story leaned toward the idea that he was going to cause a damaging and lethal event to happen, which he indeed did. After spotting Romeo at the Capulet party, Tybalt felt disrespected and was livid, due to this, he challenged Romeo to a duel. When they both meet up on the street, Romeo attempts to make peace with Tybalt and to end all disagreements between the two. However, Tybalt is there to cause drama and he declines, stating that Romeo’s request “shall not excuse the injuries / that thou hast done to me” (3.1.61-62). Tybalt’s rejection of Romeo’s request led to his own death as well as Mercutio’s. Another consequence of these actions was Romeo’s banishment from Verona, which ended up
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.
Also, Tybalt causes conflict by picking a fight with Mercutio in the street. (III, i, 1-50) This led to the death of each character, but Tybalt provoked Mercutio, which led to his death and then Tybalt’s death by
Tybalt was unprovoked and only had a reason to be mad at Romeo (not that it was an excuse to attempt murder, just a reason to be mad). Mercutio was the first one to die in the play. “Oh Romeo, Romeo, brave Mercutio is dead!” (Shakespeare 428). That death lead to the death of Paris and Tybalt himself.
Quotation: “My husband lives that Tybalt would have slain, and Tybalt’s dead that would have slain my husband. All this is comfort, wherefore weep I then?” (III.ii.105-107)
Romeo was reported seen running through the streets of Verona waving around his sword, searching for Tybalt. Out of rage and the need for revenge, Romeo fought Tybalt and ended Tybalt’s life.
