The ironic twist at the end of the story surprised many who had read it. But who is to blame for this tragedy? Many characters in this play could be to blame. We believe that some of the characters to blame are Capulet, Friar Lawrence, plus Romeo and Juliet themselves.

The Tragedy of Romeo and Juliet is a book of fate and how everyone in the world affects the happenings of this world. The author of this extraordinary book is William Shakespeare. Although Romeo and Juliet killed themselves, there were many people responsible for their deaths.

There were many people responsible for the deaths of Romeo and Juliet, although they took their own lives, they were not all to blame.

Romeo and Juliet is a tragic story about star-crossed lovers who lost their lives due to sorrow and grief. Writers and readers all around argue about who was at fault for the death of these two young characters. Mercutio, who was the one who convinces Romeo to go to the ball in the first place, could be blamed as well. And when Mercutio was murdered by Tybalt, Romeo killed him out of anger, which led to the separation of the two lovers. There are multiple people we could pin for their deaths, even their parents because of their huge family feud. I think the three people to be blamed are the nurse, Friar Laurence, and our very own star-crossed lovers.

When she first meets Romeo she falls for him instantly. Juliet falls in love with Romeo and asks him to marry her. Juliet's parents, Lord Capulet and Lady Capulet want her to marry Paris, a young Capulet. Juliet does not like the idea of this, and when Romeo and Juliet are together she is very worried her parents will find out. Juliet blames herself for things that go wrong in their relationship, "Prodigious birth of love is to me," unlike Romeo who blames fate.

CAPULET: What is this? What is this silly logic? I hear you say “proud” and “thank you,” and then “no thank you” and “not proud,” you spoiled girl. You’re not really giving me any thanks or showing me any pride in our family. Get yourself ready to go to your cousin’s on Thursday. You’re going whether you like it or not. You defiant and rebelling

CAPULET Calm down, you’re getting too angry. MR. CAPULET

And you be mine, I’ll give you to my friend; And you be not, hang, beg, starve, die in the streets, For, by my soul, I’ll ne’er acknowledge thee” (Act iii. Scene iv. 193-195) These examples show how Lord and Lady Capulet thoughts about Juliet's pleads against the marriage of Paris and her, she had even asked for a delay of even a week.

Cohen Smith Ms. Kramer English 9 Hour 5 January 14th 2016 Family Ties Lord capulet has a very high standard for family loyalty which leads to the entire families ultimate demise. He saw loyalty to the family as the most important feature and expected Lady Capulet, Juliet and the entire family to fold to his every whim. Juliet before seeking out Friars advice, would rather die than be forced to marry Paris as her father lord Capulet has arranged, he is angered by her lack of loyalty to her fellow kinsmen and reacts with violent harsh and extremely hurtful remarks to Juliet. “Hang thee, young baggage, disobedient wretch!”

This shows that, Lady Capulet wants

A few days later Capulet has become crazy and has changed his mind. He says: “Thursday is near, lay a hand on heart, advise: / And you be mine, I’ll give you to my friend; / And you be not, hang, beg, starve, die in the streets, / For by my soul, I’ll ne’er acknowledge thee, / Nor what is mine shall never do thee good. / Trust to’t, bethink you, I’ll not be forsworn” (3.5.190-95).

Lord Capulet told

‘That same villain Romeo’ (3.5.82) Mr. Capulet also tells Juliet if she doesn’t marry his choice of a proper man he will never want to see her again. ‘ …Thank me no thankings, nor proud me no prouds/ But fettle your fine joints gainst Thursday next, /To go with Paris to St. Peters Church/ Or I will drag thee on a hurdle thither. /

To summarise Capulet is telling Juliet that she is worthless,she’s disobedient and if she is not at the church on Thursday,she can’t look at him, reply to him, or talk to him. He want’s to slap her. And later on turns to his wife and tells her that they thought they were blessed by having only one child, but now they see her as a curse. And then Capulet ends by saying that she is a worthless creature.
