Who's To Blame For The Tragedy Of Romeo And Juliet

Have you’ve ever been included in a major disaster and did not know who to blame? When a tragedy occurs and a numerous amount of people are involved it can be very easy to accuse another. In Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare, it starts as a simple love story until a tragedy occurs that leaves one question, who is really at fault? Friar Laurence is truly to blame for the tragic events because he married Romeo and Juliet, he gave Juliet the plan that lead to her and Romeo’s death, and didn’t tell anyone about the events taking place.

Tybalt challenged Romeo to a fight, but Mercutio stepped in and ended up getting killed by Tybalt. Romeo sought revenge by killing Tybalt. As a result of murdering Tybalt, Romeo got banished from Verona. None of these events would have taken place if the Friar would have thought through his decision to marry Romeo and Juliet.

These three reasons, along with others, prove that Friar Lawrence is to blame for the events that occur in Romeo and Juliet. He married young Romeo and Juliet together, which emotionally tied them to each other. He gave Juliet the escape idea and the sleeping potion. He also failed to inform Romeo of the rescue plan. He could’ve been a very desperate man in search of peace in Verona, but it led to the deaths of many; including those of the star-crossed

Thesis: In Romeo and Juliet, Friar Lawrence is the person to blame for Romeo and Juliets tragedy because he married them for the wrong reasons. He also created a risky plan that is part of the reason things ended so badly. Lastly, Lawrence covered up their marriage, which created more problems.

In ¨The Tragedy of Romeo and Juliet¨,there seems to be the question of who seems most responsible for the deaths in Romeo and Juliet? I’ve come to the idea that it is the prince, Escalus who caused or atleast could’ve stopped these deaths from ever starting to unfold. He was so anonymous of every problem happening and never took charge of the situation until it concluded. He had to ask of benvolio”who began this bloody fray” when Mercutio and Tybalt were dead. He never had men prepared of any casualties that could happen or any men on patrol so no fight broke out in the first place.

When Romeo goes to the friar to ask Friar Lawerence to marry them he agrees saying, “So smile the Heavens upon this holy act, that after-hours with sorrow chide us not” (II, vi, 1-2) This quote shows that he hoped that the odds will be in their favor. Friar Lawrence was a first optimistic about the marriage hoping it would bring the feuding families together; even though just a few pages before he criticises Romeo for changing his love from Rosaline to Juliet telling him, “Is Rosaline, that thou didst love so dear, So soon forsaken? Young men’s love then lies, not truly in their hearts but in their eyes” (II. iii. 70-72). Friar Lawrence knew that Romeo’s love for Juliet was only in the eyes and not from the heart. He already doubted Romeo’s youth and immaturity. But he marries them anyway in secret hoping the feuding will

Within every tragic ending, lies at least one or more accomplice. In the play Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare, many things happen that involve many different people, so it could be hard to pinpoint one person to blame for the deaths of the two young lovers Romeo and Juliet. Romeo, Benvolio, and the Capulet and Montague ancestors are to blame. Romeo is to blame because he acts rashly and does not think things through. Benvolio is at fault because he encourages Romeo to go to a Capulet party where he meets the love of his life. Romeo and Juliet's ancestors are also to blame because they created the feud that resulted in the lover’s tragic end. With so many people playing a part in the relationship, putting the blame on one person is difficult.

A factor to blame in Romeo and Juliet’s death is Friar Lawrence. Romeo asks Friar Lawrence to marry himself and Juliet. Friar Lawrence immediately refuses to marry Romeo and Juliet, but after looking at a cross in the church from a distance he suddenly changes his mind and tells the young Romeo that he will indeed marry the two

Romeo and Juliet believe their relationship is controlled by free will, which means they acted at their own discretion, but it is actually fate which means it was beyond their control. Friar Lawrence and his actions are what led to the deaths of Romeo & Juliet. One reason Friar Lawrence is at fault is because he married Romeo and Juliet secretly for the wrong reason. “In one respect I’ll assistant be; For this alliance may so happy prove To turn your households’ rancour to pure love” (Shakespeare 105). This quote exposes Friar Lawrence and shows the real reason why he married Romeo and Juliet.

In Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare, Romeo and Juliet commit suicide. Romeo kills himself with poison. Juliet stabs herself with a sword. However, is there another character to blame for their dramatic actions? Romeo is to blame. Romeo wants to marry Juliet immediately after meeting her, is impatient when waiting for news from the Friar, and murders Juliet’s cousin (Tybalt). Romeo’s impatience causes his own love story to end tragically.

Two star-crossed lovers with an inevitable fate of never being able to live together has their destiny fulfilled when they take their own lives after they soon realized they cannot be together, but refuse to live that way. There were two houses, the Montagues and the Capulets, who both had a terrible feud. Unlucky it was for the only child of the Montagues, Romeo, and the only child of the Capulets, Juliet, to fall in love. The two teens had to hide their love from their families because they knew they would never approve. Eventually after many unfortunate events caused by poor timing, the two ended their lives to be with each other. After mourning the deaths of their children, the two houses ended the feud for good. Time is to blame for the

Students in high schools across the country still study William Shakespeare's plays even though they are hundreds of years old and very hard to read. We do so because these plays still have relevance today. For example, one of the themes of Romeo and Juliet is suicide. Unfortunately, suicide is still very much apart of our society today, especially among teens. When a young person commits suicide one of the first things to happen is that we try to assign blame to one person or one reason.

As Mercutio died he stated “ A plague on both your houses.” after being killed by Tybalt of the capulet family in Scene 12. He is stabbed right under Romeo's arm yet does not fully blame him but both houses. I believe he says this because it is not Romeo’s nor Juliet's fault there is a feud. In the beginning the chorus remarks that there is an “ancient grudge” between both houses.

Is the feud between the two wealthiest families the one to blame for the tragic ending? In Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet play we find that two star crossed lovers have found love with each other. They come from two different families that cannot manage to get along with one another. William Shakespeare uses many characters to present how much the Montagues and the Capulets despise each other.
