In my opinion I believe that we should really be considering not 'who' is to blame but

should instead consider 'what' is to blame. Without all the problems the pair faced they may have not generally succeeded. If teenagers know that they are not allowed something they want it even more. Maybe if the ancient feud did not stand in the way the pairs relationship would not have been as strong as it was.
