Who is to blame for Romeo and Juliet’s death

Romeo and Juliet are two people who fall in love but not knowing that they are each from different families who do not like each other each, Romeo and Juliet find out the truth but it doesn’t stop them seeing each other and getting married. But it all falls apart when Romeo and Juliet die due to Friar Lawrence’s plan back firing. There are many people to blame for Romeo and Juliet’s deaths such as ……….

Family Fighting

I think the most significant reason for Juliet’s death is the families fighting. If they had got along with each other then Romeo and Juliet would have been able to be together and not have to be together in secret.

The thing about the Capulets and the Montagues is that they could have stopped fighting if they wanted to. However due to events which had happened in the past either family weren’t willing to forget it and begin to live in the same town together happily.

Prince

One of the other people who you could blame for Juliet’s death is the Prince.

The prince is in charge of law and orders he should have stopped the two families from fighting.

Another issue into why the Prince could be blamed for the deaths is that if the Prince had not banished Romeo from the town Verona for killing Tybalt, then Juliet would have lived and not died. This is because then they would have not had to send the letter about Juliet’s plan to drink poison.

Prince

One of the other people who you could blame for Juliet’s death is the Prince.

The prince is in charge of law and orders he should have stopped the two families from fighting.

Friar

The Friar is one of the people to blame for Juliet’s death because Friar Lawerence agreed to marry Romeo and Juliet, when he knew that the two different families they both came from were worst enemies. He is more responsible for Juliet’s death because of the plan he gets Juliet into. This plan was to help get Romeo and Juliet out of Verona, giving a poison to Juliet which made her fall into a deep sleep.

Fate

Fate is something which nothing or know one can stop. Fate plays a major role in this play.

An example of this is if Romeo found Juliet later when she had taken the poison then maybe she would have woke before Romeo drank the poison himself.

The way and the timing of how things happened in this play affected the way in which the story ended. There are many different examples of fate in this play, the ways in which these have happened affected the storyline itself, the way the story ended etc.

Maybe if both families had got on with each other in the first place then the story could have gone in many different directions, which would have meant a different storyline. Again this fate. Ways in which fate is to blame for Juliet’s death is when the letter to Romeo regarding Juliet taking a potion is never received by him, now if the letter had been received then the storyline could have been different. This is an example of fate.

Romeo

Romeo could be blamed for his lover’s death as he killed Tybalt which meant he then vanished from the town Verona. As Romeo wasn’t in the town the letter regarding Juliet taking poison could have reached him more quickly if he wasn’t out of the town. This would have meant he may have been able to find Juliet more quickly maybe before she even took the poison.

Another reason into why Romeo could be blamed for Juliet’s death, is the fact he should have tried to keep the peace better, although the families didn’t get on with each other, if Romeo hadn’t mad it worse by constantly causing trouble and arguing in the street, then maybe him and Juliet would not have had to hide their relationship from others as much.

Conclusion

Like I have stated there are many different people and reasons to blame into who fault it actually was for the death of Juliet.

Although this is the case I think the main reason she died is because of the two different families arguing because this was the main reason they had to hide their relationship.

Although this is my opinion as I have showed there are many different examples of who could be blamed this play is also based on a lot of fate because that is the one thing that made the storyline go as it did.
