Romeo and Juliet are the children of two enemies, the Montagues and Capulets; Romeo Montague and Juliet Capulet. These two fell in love at first sight at a Capulet's party and during the coarse of their love, many tragedies and complications took place and in the end it led to Romeo and Juliet's Death. Was there only one, some or many people to blame for their death?
The two families play a main part in the tragedy. If they didn't have a feud in the beginning maybe none of this would have happened. Romeo and Juliet wouldn't have had to get married secretly if the families hadn't quarrelled. If it was an ancient grudge why not just forget and forgive?
Tybalt is a cause of making the feud greater. He always caused trouble; he started a fight, which led to his own death and the banishment of Romeo. His violence caused the hatred for the two families to grow. Just because Romeo went to the party, Tybalt made such a big deal out of it as he says in act 1 scene 5 "When such a villain is a guest; I'll not endure him." Romeo didn't do anything to Tybalt, nor did he cause any trouble in the party. Tybalt didn't even know why there was a feud in the first place so why did he even have to hate the Montagues?
Lord and Lady Capulet are also to blame because they should have paid more attention to Juliet and her wishes when she refused to marry Paris. Lord Capulet even threatened to throw Juliet out of the house as he says in act 3 scene 5 "And you be mine, I'll give you to my friend; and you be not, hang, beg, starve, die in the streets." He could have acted more grown - up and sat down and talked to Juliet and sorted things out. Lady Capulet was never really like a mother to Juliet as she left Juliet with the nurse the whole time.
