Romeo & Juliet were star crossed lovers form the beginning

The nurse, was to keen to act as a go between because she felt that Juliet was her daughter because she has been with her all of her life, so she want her to be happy.  Juliet might have given up on the Idea of getting married to Romeo and the couple’s death would have been averted.  I think that the nurse should get most of the blame because she should have acted with a bit more responsibility with the position of Juliet’s surrogate mother. The friar Romeo’s friend and guidance changed the course of events by helping the couple with their plans to marry and assisting Juliet in her scheme to be with Romeo.  If the friar had not agreed to marry Romeo and Juliet, it is possible that the couple would have given up on the idea of being together.  On the other hand Romeo and Juliet may have been fated to marry and would have got married whatever the friars decision was.    

I think the friar was not to blame because he saw it as young couple in love and want to be together for the rest of their lives.  He thought he was doing the right thing and gods work to marry this young couple.  The friar should have not suggested his dramatic plan to Juliet that she would fake her own death so they can run out of that town together. I think that this gives him a bit of the shared blame in this story, however he was just being a good friar and doing gods work.  

Tybalt changed the course of events by wanting a fight with Romeo.  If he hadn’t have done this then the two of them wouldn’t have fought and Romeo would have been safe from the banishment set by the mayor of the town. Romeo acts too hastily and is a very strong willed person; he shouldn’t have rushed back to Verona after hearing of Juliet’s death.  He should have thought more clearly on killing Tybalt.  I think that Romeo should get half the blame for the deaths of them both.  Juliet shouldn’t have deceived and disobeyed her parents and like how Romeo is she shouldn’t have rushed into things as well.  If she hadn’t had fallen in love with Romeo on that night then they would have kept their lives.  I think that Juliet has the same amount of blame but not as much as Romeo because she thought thins through a bit more carefully.  

The Capulet and Montague families have the other quarter of the blame for starting these quarrels off in the first place.  My opinion is that there are many people to blame but they each have a share of responsibility.  From the beginning Romeo and Juliet were star-crossed lovers and most of what has happened is down to them but you cant put blame on love!
