Romeo And Juliet Who's To Blame

Who’s fault is it for the various deaths? In “Romeo and Juliet” by William Skakespeare there’s various deaths. Teenage lovers fell in love but their familes hated each other. When they got married no one knew. Friar Lawrence married them in private but, the nurse did know. In Romeo and Juliet, Friar Lawrence is to blame for all the various deaths. He married Romeo and Juliet and came up with the plan for Juliet to appear her death.

The play Romeo and Juliet is a tragic love story written by William Shakespeare. Shakespeare has written multiple other tragic plays such as Hamlet, Othello, and King Lear. Many people still have one question, and that is who is the most to blame for the deaths of Romeo and Juliet? The play is filled with many characters and every character plays a different role. But, in my opinion, Friar Lawrence is the most to blame for Romeo and Juliet deaths. The reason behind this is because he was the one to suggest their marriage to create peace between the two families. Friar Lawrence was also the one to provide Juliet with the poison and the message didn't get through to Romeo correctly making him kill himself. The play Romeo and Juliet is about two lovers that fell in love and if one does something the other will do.

To conclude, many people can be blamed for the deaths of Romeo and Juliet. The main ones, in opinion, are Romeo and Juliet, themselves, and Friar Lawrence. Romeo and Juliet are obvious ones to blame. This is because they are the ones that thought they were in love. They are also the ones that killed themselves. It was their decision to die, so it is their fault. Friar Lawrence only played a part because they trusted him and he had a cause, so he also contributed to the tragedy when he could have stopped

Have you ever read Romeo and Juliet then wondered who to blame for the numerous deaths that take place throughout the story? Well today I will explain the characters that are to blame in order from the most blamable to the least. I will start with Romeo and work my way down to the least blamable character within the story. The first person that I would blame for these deaths is Romeo.

In the play “The Tragedy of Romeo and Juliet” many events led up to the tragic suicide of Romeo and Juliet. The person that is the most to blame for all the trouble caused in this play is Romeo. Romeo is the one to blame because he should have never gone to the Capulet party. Romeo also caused many fights between the Capulets and the Montagues. Finally, Romeo’s banishment from his doing caused Juliet to fake her death.

“ A pair of star-crossed lovers take their life; Whose misadventured piteous overthrows doth with their death bury their parents strife”(Shakespeare 377). After reading “The Tragedy of Romeo and Juliet” by William Shakespeare you might ask, who is to blame for all of the death and grief of the two families. Possibly, who could have done something to stop all of this. Think about that, who do you think is to blame for all of this, maybe Romeo and Juliet, the Capulets and Montagues. But, one major character in Shakespeare's play had many opportunities to change the fate of the two star-crossed lovers. Friar Lawrence, throughout the play Friar had known almost the whole time what had been going on. Both Romeo and Juliet had confided in him and he had many chances to stop them both from taking their own live and the lives of others in some cases. There are many characters in the story that may have had a chance to save them but the Friar was the one who had many and let them pass by. Friar Lawrence could have done an extreme amount more to save the lives of two teenagers believed to have their fate written in the stars.

The marriage between the two lovers is kept a secret, because they can’t let their parents know about their love for each other. The feud between the two families kept them from being honest and confessing their love for each other. Juliet questioned herself about her love toward her enemy. ” O Romeo, Romeo! Wherefore art thou Romeo?

Juliet says that if Romeo was found at her house he will die (2.2.64-65). Whether the feud is taken seriously or not by the parents, Juliet believes that they should remain a secret so they can continue to see each other. They believe the feud warps the decisions of their parents, and if the two are caught talking one could be hurt, causing them to keep their love secret. Romeo and Juliet got married in secret (2.6.35-37). The two did not want their love to be known for fear that the other would be hurt, and eventually causing Juliet to fake her death so she wouldn't have to marry Paris.

As leaders of these two fiercely dueling families, they couldn’t let their love go on and would immediately separate Romeo and Juliet. This could be explained by the theory, “The reasons the feud seems to be so central are built into the play, and have their emphasis on the ‘parents' rage’ as the problematic violence.” (Rosenblum, Joseph). Romeo and Juliet wouldn’t get to see each other, let alone get married and have their love flourish. The parent’s of the two star-crossed lovers might even go as far as to blame the other family for having their child being in love with the other.

The families strife is the backbone of the play, and without it, no conflict would have happened. The feud was the reason for Romeo and Juliet’s deaths because of the secrecy of their romance, the web of miscommunication, and the banishment of Romeo. The feud between the Capulets and the Montagues led to the secrecy of Romeo and Juliet’s romance. It is solely because of the fear of their parents’ strife that their forbidden love was

Without the feud, Romeo and Juliet wouldn’t have had to sneak around all of the time, and they would not have had to hide their love for eachother. Even if they didn’t die, I think that something bad would have happened to them when their families find out. It can’t be a successful love if you can’t tell your other loved ones about it. “ It must be noted that Romeo and Juliet’s relationship is a forbidden love.(Kershen)”. This is an essay by a man that was writing about Romeo and Juliet.

They could not let their parents know because there would be a war if they found out. There parents did not know that they got married until after they died. The day they died, Juliet was planned to be married to Paris, even though she was already married. To avoid marrying Paris, she faked her own death, so she and Romeo could leave and be happy. Romeo was supposed to get a message about this, but the message was not delivered, so he killed himself at Juliet’s tomb.

The first reason Romeo and Juliet are responsible for the end of the play resulting in their deaths is after learning each other's names they knew that their relationship would anger their parents. With both families already being at each other's necks, this news would most certainly cause a fued to break out between the families. Instead of saving both of their families reputations and stopping a huge life ending fight, they try to keep seeing each other in secret. In Act, I, scene v, line 138, Juliet says “My only love sprung from my only hate!

Romeo’s and Juliet’s families feud with each other which is the cause to their tragedy. They have been in tension for a long time and will not end their long-standing feud easily. As Shakespeare indicates, conflicts between two family will cause terrible bloody price. It is obvious that there is no possibility for allowing their children to get married. Besides the feud between families, the obstacle Romeo and Juliet face is from Juliet’s father.

Every relationship has its conflicts and theirs was that their relationship was forbidden. The two households they had come from, had an ancient feud. The two households were always fighting whether it was verbally or physically, and someone had always ended up getting hurt. The love Romeo and Juliet had shared led them to their deaths but also had an unlikely outcome; which was a silent truce between both families as they grieved about their children.
