Romeo and Juliet are responsible for their own deaths, as they both knew their families’ hatred towards each other and decided to go forth with their decisions and actions. At the start of the play, Romeo is desperately “in love” with a nun named Rosaline, willing to do almost anything to see her, depressed from being apart from her. When he sees that her name is on the guest list of Capulet’s party, he jumps at the chance of seeing her again and decides to go. At the party, he sees Juliet, and immediately his heart belongs to Juliet, and he forgets about Rosaline. Romeo approaches Juliet, leading to the two of them dancing and eventually kissing.

After the party is over, Juliet returns to her room and Romeo sneaks back into the Capulets’ property, climbing over their orchard fence and worrying Benvolio and Mercutio to no end about his whereabouts.

When he makes himself known, she jumps in surprise, though continues to talk to him, about their love and their future. They make plans to get married the next afternoon, and Romeo sets out on a hunt to find Friar Lawrence. When Romeo finds Friar, he tells him “I have been feasting with mine enemy, where on a sudden one hath wounded me, that’s by me wounded” and goes one to say “Then plainly know my heart’s dear love is set on the fair daughter of rich Capulet. As mine on hers, so hers is set on mine, and all combined, save what thou must combine by holy marriage.” He acknowledges that he is playing with fire, interacting with his enemy, and that when he met Juliet, he fell in love with her, and she fell in love with
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
From the very prologue of Romeo and Juliet, we are informed by Shakespeare that these two “star-cross’d lovers” are going to “take their life”. For the rest of the play, we are left to observe how they kill themselves and who or what leads them into doing so. However, placing the blame on one person or event would be impossible, as nobody was directly responsible for their demise. Instead, everything that could possibly have gone wrong did go wrong. Although both Romeo and Juliet end up thinking it was their own decision to kill themselves, there were many other factors that unwittingly forced them into the situation they eventually found themselves.
In the play Romeo and Juliet there are lots of events that lead to the death of the two main characters. There are many people responsible for the death of Romeo and Juliet and some of these characters are Tybalt, Capulet and Friar Lawrence.
Romeo kept on forcing the idea upon him, so he marries them hoping that their marriage would end the Capulet and Montague feud, even though he did not ask for the parents’ consent. He displays his hope when he says, “For this alliance may so happy prove / to turn your household’s rancor to pure love”(Act I, Scene 4, Lines 91-92). Friar Laurence kept Romeo and Juliet’s relationship secretive, making the situation worsen. Later on, the Friar shows that he has regrets about the marriage. The Friar feels that, “Violent delights have violent ends / And their triumph die… too swift arrives as tardy as too slow” (Act II, scene 6, Lines 9-15). The Friar senses that the wedding is happening too quickly and doubts his decision. He had the potential to prevent the deaths of Romeo and Juliet, but his decisions led Romeo and Juliet to do reckless actions under his ideas. Friar Laurence’s thoughtless decisions led to the deaths of Romeo and
At one part in the play his friends think he is still in love with Rosaline when in fact he has forgotten about Rosaline and is in love with Juliet. Romeo is quick to arrange the wedding and doesn’t wait to visit Friar Lawrence. The fact that Romeo and Juliet didn’t stop to think about marriage is one of the factors that contribute to their deaths. The Friar also thinks Romeo is in love with Rosaline and expects that he has spent the night with her, because he is in a good mood “God pardon sin! Wast thou with Rosaline”, but instead he has spent the night with Juliet. Romeo has a close relationship with the Friar, he acts as a father figure. This is shown when the Friar tell him he is banished. Romeo threatens to kill himself but Friar Lawrence stops him and gives Romeo some advice as Romeo knows he can trust the Friar “ Let me dispute with thee of thy estate”.

If he had behaved well and thought before doing whatever he was going to do, everything could’ve been better.
