Theme Of Death In Romeo And Juliet

Juliet's parents were not caring for their family. They only cared about themselves and did not take proper care of their daughter, as a result of their daughter’s death. They would ignore her at times except when they were in front of the guests. Additionally, Lady Capulet thought that Juliet grieving over her cousin’s death was foolish and made her look stupid, “Evermore weeping for your cousin’s death? What, wilt thou wash him from his grave with tears? An if thou couldst, thou couldst not make him live. Therefore, have done. Some grief shows much of love, But much of grief shows still some want of wit.” (Shakespeare.3.5.69-74). Juliet's parents were the root of Juliet's death, because of how uncaring and disregarding they were of Juliet.

The deaths of Romeo and Juliet were ultimately caused by the family feud between the Montague family and the Capulet family. It is the family’s fault for their deaths is because if it weren’t for them, Romeo and Juliet wouldn’t have had to keep their love

Juliet’s father forces Juliet to marry Paris, and if she does not he threatens to leave her to ‘hang, beg, starve, die in the streets’. This arranged marriage with one she does not love compels Juliet to find an urgent resolution, and this resolution contributes to the deaths of Romeo and Juliet. The families’ feud contributes to the deaths of Romeo and Juliet, as they know that their relationship must remain unknown. The feud leads to delusion and deceit, and their eventual death. Ultimately, the feud between the families makes their deception necessary and inevitable; but this deception leads to their untimely deaths.

Many people blame fate for the death of Romeo and Juliet. One reason being that Romeo and Juliet’s meeting at the party was determined by fate. However, Romeo went to the party because of love, and he wanted to see if he could find some else better than Rosaline. He saw Juliet and found a new love. Therefore, love is a stronger competitor than fate for their meeting. Moreover, another argument is that the prologue calls Romeo and Juliet “star-crossed lovers”, also known as lovers who are doomed because of outside forces (such as fate). While Romeo and Juliet may have had tough circumstances regarding their relationship, their doom was their own decision. They killed themselves in the name of love, not because of chance or

When telling the tragic, but beloved story of Romeo and Juliet from one of William Shakespeare’s many plays there are several characters in the story that could possibly be held responsible for the star-crossed lovers deaths. Three of those many characters should stand out more than others to blame for the beloved main characters deaths. These three characters are the Feud, Lady Capulet, and Fate. The Feud is one choice to blame because it it the cause of many other conflicts that take place in the story. While Lady Capulet does not cause as many conflicts as the Feud she does present one main problem to Juliet by pressuring her to get married to Paris as soon as possible. Lastly Fate is used many times in the play to explain why Romeo and

Fate is to blame for their deaths because their parents and families have a fued that has gone on for years. In the Prologue (DBQ project, 2013), it talks about the feud by saying “Do with their death bury their parents’ strife. The fearful passage of their death-mark’d love”. This says that the disagreements between the two families will cause their love to be. The prologue continues on by saying “Which, but their children’s end, nought could remove,” meaning Romeo and Juliet could not decide nor can they change their fate because it is destined for them to fall into a fatal love because for the feud. In Document C (DBQ project, 2013), Friar Lawrence tells Romeo that “These violent delights have violent ends” meaning they may enjoy this love and it will make them happy for a short amount of time but later they will find out why it will end violent.

Juliet’s father, Lord Capulet ultimately ended her life by making decisions too rapidly. Paris, a suitor for Juliet wished for their wedding to be as soon as possible. At first, Lord Capulet advised Paris to wait,

What contributed to the death of Romeo and Juliet was the family feud between them,

The most blame for the deaths of Romeo and Juliet is fate. In the prologue, it says, “A pair of star-cross’d lovers take their life…” (Doc A). “Starcross’d” means that it is destined Romeo and Juliet are not to be together. Their love is cursed by fate to end in tragedy. The prologue also says “From forth the fatal loins of these two foes…” (Doc A). In Shakespeare’s

Juliet's parents are forcing Juliet to marry Paris, one of the Princes’ nobleman. All of the drama about Paris and Juliet could have been prevented if Juliet would have told her parents about Romeo. Though her parents would be extremely upset, Paris may not have died if she told them. In this quote, “tell me not Friar, that thou hear’st of this, Unless thou tell me how I may prevent it…., God join’d my heart and Romeo’s thou our hands….”(DBQ:Who’s to Blame, Document C), Juliet explains to Friar Lawrence why she wants to avoid getting married to Paris, and wants to run away with Romeo because he is

Despite the fact that Romeo & Juliet killed themselves, Juliet’s parents, Friar Lawrence & John, & fate are to blame for their deaths. Juliet’s parents wanted her to be happily married at the age of 13, but were not too pleased to find out she was married to the son of their long foes, the Montague's. In document D it states “Lady Capulet- Talk not to me, for I’ll not speak a word: Do as thou wilt, for I have done with thee.” Both Juliet’s mom and dad disowned her for marrying Romeo behind their back & for not marrying Paris.

As Atticus once said, “It seems to me that love could be labeled poison, and we’d drink it anyway”. In Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet, they love each other so much that they are willing to go great distances for each other, even if that distance is death. Lord and Lady Capulet are uneducated about the feud and have no proper explanation on why it is occuring, yet have no inch of forgiveness in their bodies to stop it. Juliet’s parents are very distant with her and if they might have showed they care, that could have prevented her death. If they perhaps asked Juliet instead of forcing her to marry Paris, she wouldn’t have been upset for the reason she has already gave her vows to Romeo. Juliet’s parents accuse her of grieving over Tybalt,

In conclusion, the parents’ of Romeo and Juliet were at fault for the death of their children. The lovers wouldn’t have had to hide their love if they weren’t afraid of their parents’. Both Romeo and Juliet’s parents’ grudge and selfishness hurt their children. These 2 lovers had a future, but old grudges and pure hate ended it before it

In the play, the two star crossed lovers die at the fault of Rome because he was selfish, unreasonable, and impulsive. In Shakespeare's “The Tragedy of Romeo and Juliet”, Romeo causes death by repeatedly being selfish. In a family, there is a lot of trust that is shared and spread. When one falls in love with the ONE GIRL he can't have, that breaks all trust in a household.

The demise of Romeo and Juliet began when fate brought the two love struck children together. At the beginning of the play, William Shakespeare writes a line showing the readers and audiences how Romeo and Juliet’s demise was by fate. In the prologue, while giving a background about the play he states, “From forth the fatal loins of these two foes/ A pair of star-crossed lovers take their life” (Shakespeare Prologue.5-6). Shakespeare is saying that Romeo and Juliet are born in two separate families, that have a long lasting and violent feud. Out of all the people in Verona the two fall in love with each other. Another instance of the play that shows us that fate plays a role in the demise of Romeo and Juliet is when Peter asks Romeo to read the guest list aloud to him. Since Peter is illiterate he asks Romeo to read all of the people on the guest list. Romeo reads, “Stay, fellow. I can read. / Signor Martino and his wife and daughters…/ Signor Valentine/ Mine Uncle Capulet, his wife and daughters, / My fair niece Rosaline and Livia, / Signor Valentio and his cousin Tybalt, / Lucio and the lively Helena” (I.ii.68-76). Out of all the people in Verona Peter walks up to Romeo and asks to read the list. Not many people were invited to the party, but Romeo’s first love was. It was fate that led Romeo to attend Capulet’s party; and it was that let Juliet and Romeo to meet at the party. Romeo came to the party to see Rosaline, but he quickly forgets her because fate led him to fall
