William Shakespeare 's Romeo And Juliet

SAMPSON A dog of that house shall move me to stand. I will take the wall of any man or maid of Montague’s.

There are many people to blame for the death of Romeo and Juliet, but no one really knows who the true person to blame is. Almost every single character in this story could’ve done something that would have prevented the death of Romeo and Juliet. In the romantic story of, The Tragedy of Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare, two young kids from the city of Verona, Italy fall in love. Although they are in love with each other, the rivalry between their two families keeps them from being with each other. Romeo is of the Montague family, and Juliet is of the Capulet family. The Montagues and the Capulets have been rivals for many years, therefore a Montague (Romeo) and a Capulet (Juliet) could not be together, eventually causing Romeo and Juliet

First of all, The Capulets and Montagues are most to blame for the deaths of Romeo and Juliet. They would not let Romeo and Juliet be together because their families were involved in a feud. Lord Capulet is further to blame because he tried to force a marriage between Juliet and Paris. During Act III scene IV, Juliet discovers the death of her dear cousin, Tybalt, and the banishment of her dear Romeo.

Young lovers defy their families’ long-established vendetta and jeopardize all they have to continue their relationship. The violent commotion between the two lovers, Romeo and Juliet, finally bring peace to their feuding families, with their own death. Like with many suicide cases, there are challenges and decisions being made that lead up to this decision. Often times, we question who contributed to the suicide. Regardless, others argue that Romeo and Juliet should be held accountable for their ultimate decision. Then again, there is no definite reason to assign fault to Romeo and Juliet. Not only are their brains not fully developed, but pressures from outside forces caused such stress within the relationship.

It is fate. During this time period, everyone believed that you had a fate and whatever you do is because of your fate. Fate plays a big part in Romeo and Juliet. You can see people's fate in different parts of the play. A part of the play that fate is in is when Tybalt kills Mercutio. Tybalt’s fate is he would kill Mercutio and then be killed by Romeo. Mercutio fate is he would be killed by Tybalt. The reason why fate takes most of the blame in this play is because whatever your fate is you can not change your fate. Romeo could not change that he would meet Juliet and then get married and then killed Tybalt And be banished from the city and poison himself to be with Juliet. It is the same for Juliet. She falls in love with Romeo and eventually kill herself when she sees Romeo dead. Since their fate was to die because they loved each other, they died. Fate takes all the blame because it is the reason why they died.("DBQ: Romeo and Juliet: Who's to Blame". Doc.A)

Firstly, Romeo, Juliet’s lover, is to blame for the tragic end of the play. Romeo

Love is like a flame, it provides you with warmth, but too much of it can also burn you. Such is the plot of the play, Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare. It is a tragedy about two lovers, Romeo and Juliet, who unfortunately, belong to families who bear an ancient grudge against each other. In the play, Romeo and Juliet fall in love and quickly decide to marry each other. At the end, Romeo and Juliet’s decisions cause their untimely death, but in reality, there were other people who also contributed to the lover’s death. Friar Laurence, the Nurse and Lord Capulet are responsible for the tragic deaths of Romeo and Juliet.

A classic love story Romeo and Juliet, tells the tale of two star-crossed lovers who do not live happily ever after. However, true love must first be understood in order to fully grasp the complexity, mystery, and passion involved in the play... "If he be marrièd, / my grave is like to be my wedding bed," Juliet says before she learns Romeo 's identity (Shakespeare I.v.148-149). This tragedy, written by William Shakespeare, takes place in the Renaissance era, the setting is Verona and Mantua, which are northern cities in Italy. Romeo and Juliet is a tragic dramatic play written in English in London, mid-1590’s. Throughout the play, monologues and soliloquies develop Juliet Capulet’s tone as indecisive, passionate, and violent which strengthens her immense love for Romeo so she can defy her family and accomplish the impossible to be with her lover. (III.ii.144).

A popular idiom that many children are told are a young age is “You can’t judge a book by its cover”. Accordingly, this idiom holds true about people, how their appearance, background, or name do not define who they are. This meaningful message is expressed in Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare, Beastly by Alex Flinn, and Scribbler of Dreams by Mary E. Pearson. These texts reveal the message that if one is willing to look past a prejudice, one can see who another really is, leading to the most unlikely of relationships.

Ultimately, Romeo is to blame because he rushes into a marriage with Juliet without her parents permission, he avenges his best friend by killing Tybalt instead of letting the Prince deal with it, and as soon as he hears that Juliet is dead he drinks poison next to her

In any tragic story there is somebody who causes the tragedy, but who would guess that in Romeo and Juliet the death of the two lovers could’ve been caused by several characters. Not one person is responsible for the death of the main characters, Romeo Montague and Juliet Capulet. In my perspective I think Romeo, Juliet, the Capulets, the Montagues, and fate all take the responsibility for the tragic ending of the two lovers.

Romeo and Juliet written by William Shakespeare is a story about two young people from feuding families who fell in love of each other their love was so strong that they ended up dying for each other. Many characters in this play are responsible and blamed for Romeo and Juliet’s death including their parents, by keeping the feud between the two families going. Mercutio can be blamed to some degree too. He was the one who got Romeo to go to the ball in the first place. However, I believe the most responsible for Romeo and Juliet’s death is Romeo and Juliet themselves.

In Romeo and Juliet, love is depicted in several ways. Both Luhrman and Shakespeare represent love in different ways in different contexts to both the Elizabethan era and the contemporary audience. Both the original and later manifestations of the text are valued because they both communicate to the audience on the values of love and society by employing a variety of devices.

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.

William Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet is centered around the tragic story of two “star-cross’d lovers”. A tragedy is a dramatic story that chronicles the downfall or death of a tragic hero. Tragedies usually depict the causes of a tragic hero’s downfall, which are most commonly a tragic choice or a tragic flaw. There is often some sort of greater power at play in tragedies, like fate. A key aspect of tragedies is both fate and free will leading to the downfall of a tragic hero. In William Shakespeare’s The Tragedy of Romeo and Juliet, Romeo and Juliet’s immaturity, the feud between the houses Capulet and Montague, and fate cause the deaths of the two young lovers.
