Second, Tybalt’s anger plays a big role in their deaths. Lastly, the nurse thought she was helping Juliet but did the most damage. Therefore, Romeo and Juliet had help from Lord Capulet, Tybalt, and the nurse in thee suicide.
The Nurse and Friar Lawrence are responsible for the deaths of Romeo and Juliet because they both committed crimes that had a big impacted of the story. The feud between two families is not responsible for the deaths of Romeo and Juliet. Families fight all the time, but they get back together again over time. Friar Lawrence is one person that is convicted for this crime.
Romeo is to blame for the death of Juliet and himself because his intentions in the beginning of the story were of lust and not love. Romeo states, “Oh, she doth teach the torches to burn bright! It seems she hangs upon the cheek of night like a rich jewel in an Ethiop's ear, beauty too rich for use, for earth too dear.

In the play Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare there is much debate about who is responsible for Romeo’s death. Romeo and Juliet is a play where two forbidden lovers get married in secret despite their families’ feud. After Tybalt, Juliet’s cousin, kills Mercutio, Romeo’s best friend, Romeo kills Tybalt and is banished from Verona with the promise of death upon return. Lord Capulet plans to force Juliet to marry a man named Paris, but she runs to Friar Lawrence who helps her fake her own death. Romeo finds out but thinks that her death is real and goes to an apothecary, buys poison, and kills himself by Juliet’s side. When Juliet wakes up to find Romeo dead, she stabs herself.
Despite all of these actions which ultimately ended in chaos, I don't think that the Friar or the Nurse were to blame for the deaths of Romeo and Juliet. On some level their actions did partake in what eventuated in the tragedy, but they came with the best intentions, with high hopes that they would be able to save a young couple's love and end a bitter feud. Friar Laurence did bring the families together, but it was with death rather than marriage. O brother Montague, give me thy hand. (V, 3, 232)
“I’m forcing open your rotten jaws, and in revenge I’ll cram you with more food!”(5.3.71-72) As Romeo is saying this, he is talking about how death had taken his love, and now he too will feed death by killing himself. This shows not only that it was his own intention to kill himself, but that it was Juliet's doing as well. If her and Friar had not of gone through with this not so thought out plan, Romeo would not have gone to the extent of killing himself, which moments later resulted in Juliet's death. On the other hand though, Juliet would not have had to find a plan at all if he would not have killed her cousin, Tybalt. They both made poor decisions on their part. When it comes down to it, sadly it was their own intent to die, even though everyone knows they would have loved to stay alive with each other. Both did not see the point of living though, if the other one was not there to live with them. Overall, there were many people involved for the death of the two lovers, but they were the ones that committed the

William Shakespeare’s tragedy, Romeo and Juliet, follows the forbidden love of young Juliet and her Romeo. Juliet is a Capulet and Romeo is a Montague. The Capulets and the Montagues have a long lasting feud and this is what forbids Romeo and Juliet from being together. The second Romeo sees Juliet, the love he thought he had for Rosaline vanishes and he falls in love with Juliet immediately. Unfortunately, Romeo and Juliet are forced to hide their love, and eventually their marriage because they are afraid of what their parents will think or what their parents will do. If anyone is responsible for the death of Romeo and Juliet, it would be Juliet’s parents, the Nurse, and Friar Laurence.
Although many may see no other alternative than to blame those guilty by association, the fact remains that the Friar and the nurse are in no way responsible for Romeo and Juliet’s death. Romeo and Juliet were completely in command of their own fate, leaving the Friar and nurse who attempted to provide advice to the best of their ability as innocent.
The second person I found responsible for Romeo and Juliet’s tragedy is, The Nurse. The first reason I chose The Nurse is, she knew that Juliet’s parents wanted her to marry Paris, she herself wanted Juliet to marry Paris. Paris was more mature than Romeo and wanted what was best for Juliet. Also, The nurse knew that Juliet’s parents would not like it if Romeo and Juliet got married because their families have been rivals for many generations. Lastly, The Nurse knew that Juliet wasn’t mature enough to know if she really loved Romeo they had only met a few days before and had barely knew each Romeo.
