In the tragic play Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare, Romeo met Juliet from an enemy family in a party that he was not supposed to attend, and they quickly fell in love. Of course, this forbidden love brought unfortunate luck, and both Romeo and Juliet died at the end of the play. Who shall be held responsible for the death of Romeo and Juliet? This question has been bothering people, and yet to be answered. There are indeed many variables that have affected this, but I think Romeo himself is responsible for his own death and the one of his wife Juliet. Since the beginning of the play, Romeo has been acting foolishly, and he could not behave and calm himself down. If he had behaved well and thought before doing whatever he was going to do, everything could’ve been better. Romeo first made his big mistake by going to the party hosting by the Capulets. Everything started with this party hosted by the Capulets. The purpose for it was to help Juliet meet County Paris, unfortunately, the plan did not go well. When Romeo first heard about the party from the Clown, he did not think about the outcome, and he decided to go. In act one, scene two, Romeo says, “I’ll go along, no such sight to be shown, but to rejoice in splendour of mine own.” (I, ii, 102-103) As he has said, he wanted to go to “rejoice in splendour of mine own”, to reveal the pleasure of his own, it’s quite a poor reason for him to go. Although Benvolio did convince him that Rosaline would be there, his only

The Responsible Character Behind the Tragic Deaths of Romeo and Juliet In writing Romeo and Juliet, Shakespeare has created a play involving the complex entanglement of all of the citizens of Verona in the tragic demise that befell the young lovers. The appeal of the play is Shakespeare's masterful stagecraft, because the audience are told of the tragic ending at the beginning of the play, but want to know how they are driven to their deaths. By involving everyone, the audience is left guessing until the end.
In this play Romeo and Juliet are mostly responsible for their own death, Juliet is mostly responsible for Romeos death because when she pretended to be dead so that her family wouldn’t force her to marry Paris she did not till Romeo that she is not really dead and that she is just pretending to be dead because of her family. When Romeo heard the news about Juliet’s death he decided to take his life and Romeo killed himself only because Juliet forgot to tell him about her fake death act. “ well, Juliet, I will lie with thee tonight”(5,1,36) Romeo thought that Juliet is really dead so he bought a bottle of poison and drank it so he could be with Juliet.
Who is also responsible of Romeo and Juliet’s death was Romeo. Romeo is responsible because he was so careless. He was not aware of what was right before his eyes, not only the obvious piece of paper just lying on the floor, but also the trouble of falling “in love” with a Capulet. Romeo was also too many times blinded be grief, anger and love making him act without thinking. Killing Tybalt, drinking the venom and even marring Juliet. Romeo should have been more careful and should have taking everything one day at a
In this essay I will be writing about William Shakespeare’s play Romeo and Juliet, I will be doing an in-depth analysis as to who I think is most to blame for the sad eventual deaths of Romeo and Juliet, analysing each character in detail.
One of the biggest questions regarding to the play "Romeo and Juliet" is who was responsible for their deaths? People all blame different characters in the play such as: Friar Laurence, their parents, themselves, and even fate. Even though some people might disagree with what I am about to say, I think that the only people at blame for this is no one else but Romeo and Juliet. I believe that at the end of the day it was their own, free will, decision. It was Romeo's decision to go to the ball, both, Romeo and Juliet's decision to keep their relationship going, and finally it was their decision at the end to kill themselves.
Recently we have read the renown tragic play of Romeo and Juliet, by William Shakespeare. As we all know, this tragedy ends by the untimely death of Juliet and her Romeo. But after putting down the book, a question comes to mind: who is truly at fault for the death of those two teenagers? Who is truly responsible for turning this story into a tragedy? Or is anyone even guilty at all? After some reflection, I have come to the conclusion that nobody is really at fault, but that everybody did a little something and that all those little somethings added up to create a big something, the death of the two protagonists. Yet, if I had to choose the people who, although unintentionally, contributed to this tragic ending, I believe that Lord Capulet and Benvolio are the most to blame, for their lack of sentiments and betrayals.
In Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet, death is a frequent subject. Whether it’s Romeo comparing “light and dark” or Juliet threatening to kill herself, death is always the topic of conversation. At the conclusion of the story, Romeo and Juliet tragically die. This brings up a drastic question: who is to blame for the deaths of Romeo and Juliet? Based off of textual evidence, the feuding families are to blame as everything happened because they were fighting in the first place.
A person’s wants and emotions can result in costly consequences depending on how far they’ll go for what they desire. In William Shakespeare’s drama, Romeo and Juliet, young lovers long to be together but the feud between their parents forces them to make irrational decisions ending in tragedy. The events occurring in Romeo and Juliet resemble similar actions and experiences in the reader’s present day world due to the same feelings of compassion and sometimes frustration taking over a person’s heart and mind. At a young age, teens tend to make decisions depending on their heart instead of their mind. In the beginning of this drama, Romeo attended a masquerade held by Juliet’s family.
There are a couple of people I think are responsible for the death, but it all comes down to one person, the families of Romeo and Juliet. Now, there are a couple of reasons why I think this. The constant feud between the families is definitely one that I think affected their deaths. Romeo and Juliet not being able to be together was like a sin to them. They could never be together and always had to find a way to see each other even for a second, their love was unbearable.
Romeo and Juliet were two star crossed lovers trapped within a battle between the Montagues and Caplulets. They felt as if they truly loved one another, enough to die for this affection. Swallowed his own demise; that is what Romeo did when he caught wind of Juliet's death. Finding Romeo with the icy claws of the afterlife embedded beside him, Juliet killed herself as well. This may seem romantic at the time, however after deep consideration, the conclusion remains that this is not true love. Only the shallowness of loving with the eyes rather than the heart brought this upon them.
Another fight broke out in town square and now Romeo Montague has to pay the price. There was a hearing where the Prince decided to only banish the young Romeo Montague instead of giving him a death sentence. A lot of people are wondering why this is considering how there are two deaths, Romeo being responsible for one.
