Romeo's Death: A Comparison Between Romeo And Juliet

. 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.

After Romeo slays Tybalt and flees, Prince Escalus enters and Benvolio honestly explains what happened. After Tybalt kills Mercutio, Romeo is furious and wants to avenge Mercutio’s death. Romeo says, “Alive in triumph—and Mercutio slain!... Either thou or I, or both, must go with him" ( 3.1.127-134). Romeo is infuriated that Tybalt is “Alive in triumph—and Mercutio slain!” He is determined to make someone pay for Mercutio’s death. Mercutio’s life meant so much to Romeo that he'd risk his own to see Mercutio’s killer dead. Execution would have been a harsher punishment and Romeo would have not been banished if he let

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.

Tybalt then does not listen to Romeo and still wants to fight. Mercutio steps in, in order to help out the matter of Romeo not wanting to fight. The whole chain of events of Mercutio and Tybalt go fighting in the streets. ‘Romeo-

Mercutio taunted, “O calm, dishonorable, vile submission! Tybalt, you ratcatcher, will you walk?” The fight was started by Mercutio and his hot-headed nature. Because Mercutio picked the fight with Tybalt, he forced Romeo’s hand to fight with Tybalt and got Romeo exiled!

After killing Tybalt, Romeo flees to hide but once Prince Escalus arrives at the scene, he declares that Romeo’s punishment will be exile and if Romeo is ever seen in Verona again, he will be sentenced to death. Prince Escalus’ punishment for Romeo’s crime is also caused by Mercutio. The prince adds that because of the death is of Mercutio, his relative, he will make Romeo regret causing him his loss.

Fate didn’t make Tybalt challenge Romeo to a duel it was his idea and he followed through in sending a letter for them to fight. “I do protest I never injured thee, but love thee better than thou canst devise till thou shalt know the reason of my love” (3.1.65). Romeo had the chose whether he would fight Tybalt or not and because of his love for Juliet he declined Tybalt’s challenge seeing as they were now family. No outside force had him stand still and not draw his sword. If Romeo would have fought Tybalt, Mercutio wouldn’t of decided to fight him and Mercutio would still be alive.

Love is the only force capable of turning enemies into friends(Martin Luther King Jr.).The tragic death of Romeo and Juliet was the combination of bad actions and mad love. Although there was many other characters that could be blamed for the death of Romeo and Juliet the three that have clear evidence are Lord Capulet, Tybalt, and finally Friar Lawrence.

Tybalt turns his attention to Romeo and says, ‘thou art a villain’ (III.i.58). Romeo doesn’t take this to heart and says that he has to love Tybalt, and Tybalt assumes that Romeo is simply mocking him and draws out his sword in request for a duel with Romeo. Romeo refuses to do so, and in Romeo’s place, Mercutio takes his sword out to duel Tybalt and Romeo tells Mercutio to ‘put thy rapier up’ (III.i.79). He tries to intervene, however, Tybalt jabs Mercutio with his sword and he falls and uttered a string of curses while Tybalt gallops away. Although Romeo initially did not want to fight, he was angered by Mercutio’s death and his passion compelled him to run after Tybalt and give him the duel that he originally requested. This decision eventually led Tybalt to his death and consequently banishes Romeo. It is a result of a rash decision of passion was the result of a conflict with his initial reasoning about not wanting to fight

While it can be debated over whether who actually cause Romeo and Juliet’s deaths, but based on textual evidence, I believe Friar Laurence is more directly involved with the deaths. In the play Romeo and Juliet, it is written so you decide who you think caused the two lovers deaths. Based on looking at the text, many people choose Capulet as the person who is most responsible for romeo and juliet’s deaths. I think that Capulet was definitely a factor involved in the Deaths of romeo and juliet because he wanted juliet to marry paris , however it’s Friar Laurence who has the responsibility of getting Juliet out of that situation. Consequently his ultimate failure was the final blow that pushed the events that led to their deaths into action.

Romeo and Juliet is a story that takes place in a small town in Italy named Verona. In this story, Romeo and Juliet’s families constantly fight with each other. Romeo accidentally gets invited to a Capulet party and attends it in hopes of seeing his love, Rosaline. Instead, Romeo goes and spots Juliet and forgets about Rosaline and falls in love with how beautiful Juliet was.

Getting married is a huge change from the fast-paced single life, and “Death of a Bachelor” by Panic! at the Disco focuses greatly on the transition. The whole idea of the song is that leaving the single life and settling down guarantees a happy ever after. For Romeo, this is more than true. His marriage is one of the best days of his life. He knows that being married to Juliet will make him happier than he has ever been before. As the song says “a lifetime of laughter at the expense of the death of a bachelor”. The “death” of Romeo’s time as bachelor will ensure a wonderful life.
