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

Romeo drank the deadly poison just before Juliet arose from her fake death. If Romeo would have been more patient, Juliet would have awakened. Also, Romeo killing himself caused Juliet to kill herself as well. Juliet would have never killed herself if Romeo would not have killed himself. In addition, Romeo is to blame because he killed Tybalt, which got him kicked out of Verona. If he would not have killed Tybalt, he would have been able to stay in Verona, and he would have known that Juliet was not actually dead. Therefore, Romeo is to blame for the death upon himself and his wife,

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.

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

“A rose by any other name would smell as sweet.” said Juliet implying that Romeo’s being a Montague makes them enemies. Romeo didn't listen to Friar Laurence about not getting married. “Is Rosaline whom you didn't love so dear, so soon forsaken? Young men’s love then lies not truly in their hearts, but in their eyes.” Friar says that what Romeo feels toward Juliet is simply a crush and nothing more. Lastly Romeo was the one to drink the poison. “Come bitter poison come unsavory guide!” making him responsible for his own

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.

Juliet drank the potion from the vial which made her pretend like she was dead. Juliet was scared that she would not wake up before Romeo would find her and that she would not be able to be with him anymore. Juliet did not want to have to be alive anymore if she could not spend her life with Romeo. Juliet woke up by the tomb both Paris and Romeo were dead. Juliet ended up stabbing herself in the end so she could still be with Romeo. “ By Jesu a very good blade”(Crowther). There are many more reasons as to why Juliet is to blame.

Since Friar Laurence's letter to Romeo describing the plan wasn´t delivered to him on time, when he received the news from Benvolio he ignored the fact that he was kicked out of Verona and went. During his journey to see Juliet, he quickly stops to buy poison. He asks the pharmacist to sell him the strongest poison he has. The pharmacist denies at first, but the gives in when he sees the mount of money Romeo offered him. After Romeo has gotten the poison he goes to see Juliet´s ¨dead¨ body to die by her side. Romeo lies by Juliet, kisses her one last time and drinks the poison. When Juliet wakes up from her sleep, she wakes up to see her now lifeless husband lying next to her. Juliet is really confused and doesn´t understand what is going on until she sees the bottle of poison in Romeos hands. Quickly, she kisses Romeo's lips, hoping to get some left over poison from them. She fails, sees the knife in Romeo's pocket, and stabs herself. The fact that they were what took up each others minds was why ones death was such a big impact on the other individual. It was the grief of Juliet's death that killed Romeo, and the grief of Romeos death that killed Juliet. It was their own decision to kill themselves influenced by no one but themselves. Instead of killing themselves, they could have tried to figure something out and could have talked to their parents about it. Like an elementary teacher said, "They
