Who Is To Blame For Romeo And Juliet's Death

Many have said that romance brings love and affection, but when taken to the extreme, it can lead to tragedy and despair. In the literary play Romeo and Juliet, William Shakespeare created a tragedy protagonist, Juliet, whose tragic death “buries their parents’ strife” (Prologue). The eternal feud between Montague and Capulets restraints the love between Romeo and Juliet and ultimately lead to their death. Juliet’s death has many different factors, and it’s hard to determine the truly blame of Juliet’s death. In all the important characters, Lord Capulet refuses to listen to Juliet’s request, which result in Juliet’s death. In the other hand, Romeo’s immature, impulsive and Friar Lawrence’s cowardice are all generate Juliet’s tragedy.

Who is most to blame for the deaths of two lovers? There have been many tragedies caused by romance. The Tragedy of Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare is a drama placed in Verona, Italy. It is known for two families, Montague and Capulets to be in a long standing feud. It is also known for the tragedy between two star-crossed lovers from the two households. After a series of tragic events, the two lovers commit suicide. There are several characters that can be responsible for the deaths of Romeo and Juliet, but the character that is most to blame is Friar Laurence. He was the one to help and influence them to be together and gave Juliet the potion leading to her death and Romeo’s. Friar Laurence is the most to blame for the deaths of Romeo and Juliet for his thoughtless decisions.

Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet discusses the many challenges the ‘star crossed lovers’ face. It is their own deceptive actions that ultimately lead them to their untimely end. However Romeo and Juliet are forced to be deceptive due to their fate and misfortune, the ongoing feud in Verona, and the misleading guidance they receive from others; which also contribute to their deaths. Romeo and Juliet focuses on the theme of love and hate, this theme is interweaved throughout the play.

In William Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet, many characters meet their tragic end as a result of a plethora of factors, from old rivalries to new love. It is a tragic story of two lovers, destined to complete each other, but also to end a bitter feud through their deaths (Prologue.3-6). However, if the blame had to be ascribed to one person in particular, that person would be Romeo Montague. Throughout the play, Shakespeare showcases Romeo’s irrationality and poor decision making, leading to the gruesome deaths of his loved ones. Romeo is most to blame for the tragic slew of deaths because he is oblivious, quick to act, and too urgent in his relationship.

He isolates himself from the merrymaking both socially and physically in his refusal to dance and banter with Mercutio. Upon request by Mercutio to dance, Romeo replies by saying ‘I have a soul of lead’, connotations of lead being heavy, therefore disabling him to move, but also poisonous. This idea sustains the theory that Rosaline has deprived and made him suffer, to the degree of poison, also supporting Romeo’s melodramatic nature. Romeo spends his time, not pursuing Rosaline, but despairing ‘under love's heavy burden I do sink’. Once again, Romeo’s over metaphoric and dramatic nature describes how he is being weighed down by the symbolic weight of being out of love. It begs the question, is Romeo simply in love with the sadness of being out of it.

Juliet is not unlike the typical young women constantly struggling to find happiness and acceptance from those who are closest to her.

No reader can truly appreciate and understand the level of Juliet’s struggles without first understanding the roles the Lord Capulet, Friar Lawrence and Romeo, their betrayal and their role in her faithful decision.

Oh Woe is me, woe is me, mother of Juliet, wife of a Capulet. What did I ever do to deserve the tragic misery of my own daughter dying before me? What have I done, to offend God to have this heartbreaking despair cast upon me? It was only mere days ago that Juliet was gaily running the halls of this home but now it is gloomy and silent without the glow of her presence. Without my private chamber to mourn in peace, I don’t know how I could face the citizens of Verona. Oh why my Juliet, out of all the worthy bachelors in Verona, you had to fall in love with the son of our enemy, Romeo Montague. Now how you pay the price with your mortal remains lying in the Capulet tomb.

When you are young, you make decisions without thinking of the consequences and outcomes of the situation. Teens almost always think irrationally and make choices that could ultimately lead to life or death. Young people also believe that they truly know what love is, even though they are too young and naive to understand it. When these two things mix, it leads to major disasters. Romeo believed he was in “love” with Juliet, even when he did not know anything about her.

First, they fall in love, later learning that they are from opposite sides of a family feud. There could possibly be major consequences to them being in love, some even as threatening as death. Who is to blame?

Before Romeo chose to commit this treacherous act of suicide, “His mind reverts to the sea that had come, as if unsummoned, when he had first declared his love...only this time the image draws together violent desperation and decisive control” (Brown 12). Comparing to Juliet, Romeo also chooses the course of dying for his love. By repeating what was said the first time he declared his love to Juliet, there is an ongoing theme of the love never being lost along with their

Oh 'tis all my fault the lovers are dead, how I weep for them. Loving Romeo and sweet Juliet, can thou ever forgive me? I think not; I tore thy love apart like a lion tears flesh from a bone in my haste to cease the feud between thy families, and behold what disaster has struck because of my actions. Soon thy ghosts will haunt me as a result of my horrible sin of destroying thy love. Oh Romeo, like a son to me, my dear brave son how I miss thy witty banter and declarations of love for Juliet. Oh beautiful loving Juliet! Forgive me for failing you, thy life was in my hands, I held it and allowed it to slip through my fingers like water! Oh Lord taketh me to hell where all the other bad and evil men sleep, after all that is where I belong after the crime of taking young Romeo and

Ah… (sigh) what an interesting day(smirk). It was quite an interesting afternoon for Benvolio and I was discussing about our friend Romeo’s whereabouts, love life, and that Cat Prince… what was his name again?... ah yes Tybalt. As you see that Romeo has been stabbed by cupid’s arrow again, that fool being stabbed once wasn’t good enough for him and vowed to guard himself from the stupid angel pranks yet Romeo had get punctured by that arrow again. I have no idea why would a girl even love Romeo for he’s skinny, weak, much of a coward. Compared to that girl he fell in love with, Laura a kitchen girl, Cleopatra the gypsy, Helen from Troy, and dear Thysbe, are far better than Romeo’s lover. I still don’t understand Romeo… Furthermore, he is now

I was relieved that he broke it apart. Then I was talking to Lady Mont and Montague about Romeo. They asked if I ever saw him and I told him that I saw him in the morning near the city. Once he saw me, he fled and hid in the woods. My noble uncle then told me that Romeo has been locking himself out from the world. He said, “Shuts up his windows, locks far daylight out”. I made it my duty to go on and check on Romeo after Uncle had left. I had greeted Romeo and talked to him of why he locked himself away from sunlight. He told me that it was because of love. With a touch of sadness he told me that a woman that he had loved didn't return feeling back to him. Romeo was devastated. He said, “Out of her favour, where I am in love.” I then counsel Romeo to forget her by gazing on other beauties, but Romeo contends that the woman he loves is the most beautiful of all. He said, “She hath, and in that sparing makes huge waste, For beauty starved with her severity cuts beauty off from all posterity. She is too fair, too wise, wisely too fair, To merit bliss by making me despair”. Romeo departs me assuring me that I can't teach him to forget his love. I will find a solution to just do that.

Young Juliet is a flower in a world of thorns. A beauty who does not notice the admiration ‘round thy lady. Yet, she has’t not considered marriage till this day, at which hour Mistress Capulet had brought up marriage. The lady did asked that Juliet may ponder loving Paris as her spouse. Paris, a suitable groom who will bring her riches and be a worthy husband. A fine match indeed for a flower so quite quant. From the babe the lady once was, cradled in my arms - to the mistress that she may be presently today. Oh fate, where would my gentle Susanne be, had she still had breath? Thou art not grieved by that ladies absence? It grieves me so, like a heart split in two. Yet given from another's womb, Juliet. A miracle. And now time hath come for her to be wed. Oh, she agreed to go to the Capulet party to see Paris, and she did. Juliet, however, seemed to have her mind somewhere else. As if in a far away land. At the party she did ask about other gentlemen. She seemed interested in one in particular. No use, because it was Romeo, a Montague, and our foe. She seemed distraught when I told her this. I can not speak why, for there are plenty of other gentlemen. However, ‘t is getting late, and tomorrow will bring new.
