As the reader can see Romeo and Juliet had destiny on their sides. They both were destined together. At the beginning of the play they destined for failure as they are from two warning families, even the servants from both of the family. “The quarrel is between our masters, and us their men.”(I,I,18-19). This quote shows that even the servants from both of the families fight for the name of the family. This will start with tragedy and then end in death. It will start with the servants and end with the main characters. Therefore Romeo and Juliet had destiny on their sides, either to live happily or still to be in the family battle. And yet the tragedy is beginning.
As the reader will read along the reader can see Romeo overcame with social conflict by ending up killing two people to be with Juliet. Romeo killed Tybalt because, Tybalt killed his best friend Mercutio. So Romeo killed Tybalt as a favour for Mercutio as a revenge for family honour. Romeo killed Paris because, Paris wanted to marry Juliet. “Wilt thou provoke me? Then have at thee, boy!” (V,III,70). This shows that even when Juliet was dead Paris came to visit her tomb. Romeo also came to see Juliet. He saw Paris. Romeo built anger, he did not want any other man to get involved with Juliet. This shows that family and friends comes first. Romeo cared for his friend Mercutio and then ended the battle with Tybalt and then there was no more conflict with the Capulets. And tragedy occurred with love for one another.
The timing played the key role by the secondary character Friar. The message from the Friar is delayed and so Romeo thinks Juliet is dead. “I could not send it-here it is again-nor get a messenger to bring it thee, so fearful were they of infection.” (V,II,14-16). This shows that the Friar could of sent the letter and a messenger fast enough to reach Romeo, explaining the fake death of Juliet. So Romeo wouldn’t of worry and killed himself seeing Juliet is dead to be with her. The letter, which did not reach on time caused tragedy and two deaths.
In conclusion the factors, which caused the tragedies and deaths, was Romeo and Juliet had destiny on their sides, Romeo came with over conflict and the timing played the key role. Shakespeare intention on Romeo and Juliet was that they were destined for tragedy and then end in death. Shakespeare’s aim was to help the reader to build up tension through out the play. The moral of the play is violence is not the answer. As the social conflict was all to do with death, no one succeeded at the end. But the two families manage to make peace with each other at the end when their son and daughter are dead.
