There are many characters that could be blamed for the deaths of Romeo and Juliet, mainly including their parents and the feud between their families.

In Act 3; Scene 5, after Romeo was banished for killing Tybalt and avenging Mercutio’s murder, the nurse completely disregarded their marriage and proposed to Juliet that she should instead marry someone she is not in love with, the rich and noble Paris. The nurse later says that Romeo is a mere “dishclout” or dishcloth compared to the noble Paris.

In one respect I’ll thy assistant be; for this alliance may so happy prove to turn your households ranchor to pure love.” Friar Laurence wanted to bring the Capulets and Montagues together with this marriage. Throughout Romeo and Juliet, Friar Laurence tried his hardest to help them be together, not knowing the families’ feud would cause them to take their own lives. Friar Laurence is not responsible for Romeo and Juliet’s deaths because Romeo and Juliet are reckless and act without thinking, they take everything too quickly, and Romeo and Juliet knew they shouldn’t be together since they are from enemy families. First and foremost, Romeo and Juliet are reckless and act without thinking.

The death of his newly wed wife makes Romeo commit a rash decision. Which begins when Balthasar rushes to him saying, “Her body sleeps in Capels' monument, / And her immortal part with angels lives. / I saw her laid low in her kindred’s vault” (Shakespeare 5.1.18-20). The loss his best friend and the news of his wife’s death resorts Romeo to ending his life. He does not take a few minutes to grief. Instead, the impact that the news has on him takes control and ruins his thought of the kind of life he expects to have with Juliet. Romeo’s hastiness appears once again when he decides to end his life to be with his only love. When he believes that Juliet is dead, Romeo says, “Come, bitter conduct, come, unsavoury guide! /...Here’s to my love!” (Shakespeare 5.3.116-119). This proves that Romeo acts without thinking. He does not think to counsel with the Friar and try to understand what is going on. He immediately jumps to conclusion by poisoning himself to be with Juliet. As a result of Romeo’s imprudent decision, Juliet makes a reckless decision of her own. When she finds the dagger, she says: “O happy dagger, / This is thy sheath; (Stabs herself )/ there rust, and let me die (Shakespeare 5.3.161-167/169-170). Juliet is stunned when she finds Romeo lying dead beside her. She immediately stabs herself without thinking, not wanting frighten everyone if she is found alive. This is another time that

Juliet went to the friar in her time of need and the friar came up with an over complicated plan that he did not have enough time for.

Thus with a kiss I die.’’(5.3.123) “This is thy sheath; there rust, and let me die.”(5.3.183)Thinking that juliet was dead because he did not know the plan, Romeo drank a vial of poison.

Immediately after he heard that Juliet was “dead,” Romeo cried, “Well, Juliet, I will lie with thee tonight./ Let’s see for means. O mischief, thou art swift/ To enter in the thoughts of desperate men!/ I do remember an apothecary.” Feeling hopeless and desperate without Juliet, Romeo made the impulsive decision of buying a deleterious potion in order for him to die beside his lover. His hasty manners caused him to make an abrupt choice of committing suicide in the spur of the moment. Because Juliet woke up moments later only to find Romeo dead beside her, she too, felt that life was unbearable without her lover and ended up stabbing herself. Had Romeo patiently thought through his actions instead of violently acting on impulse, both he and Juliet could have lived. Therefore, their deaths was not a result of fate, for Romeo had hastily decided to poison himself before he could receive the message of the hoax and Juliet ultimately chose to stab herself once she woke up to see that Romeo had misunderstood the situation and killed himself beside

Unfortunately, the message was not sent, so when Romeo arrives he thinks she is dead. He loves her so much that he would die so they can be with each other. When Juliet awakens, Romeo is dead,with a poison he has taken. Juliet realizes that he has not left any poison for her. Juliet stabs herself because she loves Romeo.
