Who was most responsible for the tragedy that occurred at the end of Blood brothers?

Blood brothers, by Willy Russell, blood brothers is a riveting tale about two twins separated from each other at birth who both end up dying due to a number of causes including Superstition. There will be three culprits and I will explain using quotes why each culprit is responsible in their own ways for the catastrophe that occurred at the end of blood brothers.

At the time Mrs Johnstone found out that she was getting twins Mr Lyons was away on company matters, in fact he was away for nine months, what a coincidence. Mrs Lyons managed to manipulate Mrs Johnstone into giving away one of the twins. Mrs Johnstone was convinced that the child that was given away would have a brilliant life. She thought she was doing it for the good of the baby but you simply cannot treat human life like an item for sale what she did was wrong and started of that tragedy that haunted her at the end.

When Mickey and Edward had finished meeting Mrs Johnstone asked Edward whether ...
