In The Tragedy of Romeo and Juliet written by William Shakespeare the characters Lord Capulet, Friar Laurence, and Tybalt are the ones to blame for the tragic ending. The first reasons are, Lord Capulet does not support Juliet. Friar Laurence married Romeo and Juliet in secret. Tybalt killed Mercutio; Romeo killed Tybalt so the feud got worse. In Act 3, scene 1, line 88 Mercutio says, “I am hurt.” Romeo tried to break up the fight between Mercutio and Tybalt. Mercutio got stabbed by Tybalt in the chest. Lord Capulet is to blame for many lives lost in this play. He didn’t give juliet a chance to marry who she wanted to. Lord Capulet tried to rush Juliet to marry Paris. In Act 4, scene 2, line 30 capulet says, “ Ay, marry, go, I say, and
There are tragedies everywhere and everytime, with these tragedies you have to blame someone or something for it. In Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare they’d blame fate instead of themselves because they could have been responsible for the disaster they caused. Romeo was to blame for the misfortune in the city of verona. Romeo’s responsible for his hastiness, responsible for the deaths that happened in under 3 days and Convincing Friar Lawrence to get Romeo and Juliet.
I blame Tybalt because if Tybalt never started to try and pick a fight with Romeo. When Tybalt started the fight, he said “Romeo, the love I bear thee can afford No better term than this: thou art a villain.” (Shakespeare 119). This quote is saying that Tybalt thinks that Romeo is a villain and he feels no love for him. “Romeo's friend Mercutio fights and is killed by Tybalt, a psychopathic Capulet cousin who is gunning for Romeo. Romeo kills Tybalt. The Prince of Verona banishes Romeo.” (Romeo and Juliet’s Death trip). Tybalt wanted to start a fight with Romeo but Mercurio stepped in and defended Romeo when Romeo wouldn't defend himself because Tybalt was Juliet’s cousin. That caused Mercutio to die and Romeo to blame himself and to avenge Mercutio and kill Tybalt. Which in turn caused him to get banished from the city. That is why
Who is to blame for the tragedy of Romeo and Juliet? Many could argue that no one was to blame for their deaths and that it was all fate. Others could say that it was Benvolio, the peacemaker, leaving that lead to Romeo and Juliet's downfall. But there is also the possibility that it because of Romeo and Juliets lack of true parental figures. In the play, Romeo and Juliet, written by Shakespeare, Romeo and Juliet are part of two feuding families. They meet each other at a party, where they then fall in love and get married. Over the course of a few days, Romeo kills Juliet’s cousin, is banished, and Juliet’s father makes plans for her to marry someone else. As a solution, Juliet plans to fake her death, which results in both
Blame is a way of escaping the phrase, “I am sorry”. Many people resort to blame only to defend themselves from taking responsibility for the actions they made. The book, It's Not My Fault: The No-Excuse Plan for Overcoming Life's Obstacles by Dr. Henry Cloud and Dr. John Townsend contains a quote stating, “We live in a culture of blame. People will blame anyone or anything for their misery sooner than take the responsibility to own it and make it better.” The quote means that the society we live in contains a numerous amount of people who cause actions and blame others for what they have done wrong rather than taking the blame for it. This quote’s meaning is completely present in Romeo and Juliet, a play published by William Shakespeare. There are many accounts of blame which contributed to the deaths of Romeo and Juliet. Two factors that give reason for why Romeo and Juliet committed suicide is Mercutio telling Romeo to come to the Capulet party and Tybalt killing Mercutio.
Who is the most responsible for the deaths of Romeo and Juliet? The play Romeo and Juliet is one of the most well known play, and story of all time. This play is about two teenagers that get married right as they meet, and then kill themselves over each other. I think Shakespeare wrote Romeo and Juliet to show how impulsive and irrational teens are. “Scientists have identified a specific region of the brain called the amygdala that is responsible for immediate reactions including fear and aggressive behavior. This region develops early. However, the frontal cortex, the area of the brain that controls reasoning and helps us think before we act, develops later. This part of the brain is still changing and maturing well into adulthood.” This
“ A pair of star-crossed lovers take their life; Whose misadventured piteous overthrows doth with their death bury their parents strife”(Shakespeare 377). After reading “The Tragedy of Romeo and Juliet” by William Shakespeare you might ask, who is to blame for all of the death and grief of the two families. Possibly, who could have done something to stop all of this. Think about that, who do you think is to blame for all of this, maybe Romeo and Juliet, the Capulets and Montagues. But, one major character in Shakespeare's play had many opportunities to change the fate of the two star-crossed lovers. Friar Lawrence, throughout the play Friar had known almost the whole time what had been going on. Both Romeo and Juliet had confided in him and he had many chances to stop them both from taking their own live and the lives of others in some cases. There are many characters in the story that may have had a chance to save them but the Friar was the one who had many and let them pass by. Friar Lawrence could have done an extreme amount more to save the lives of two teenagers believed to have their fate written in the stars.
Who is to blame for Juliet’s fake death? Was it the murderous and crazed Tybalt, who killed Mercutio over words that were said, or was it Juliet’s parents, who told her that she was to wed with the very successful Paris? Was it the Nurse, who helped Juliet with the marriage, or was it someone else in plain sight. The person to blame is the reluctant daughter of lord Capulet and Lady Capulet. The person to blame is Juliet herself.
One of William Shakespeare’s most famous plays, The Tragedy of Romeo and Juliet, is exactly that, tragic. Shakespeare illustrates an account of two feuding families, the Montagues and the Capulets, that have risen to a higher power than the Prince himself because of this never ending conflict. Somehow within this feud Romeo, a Montague, and Juliet, a Capulet, meet and fall in love. From the start, this pair of lovers knows they are doomed. How would the two families ever accept the children of the heads of the households’ marriage, let alone their love? They refused to give in to the rivalry set before them by their parents. Romeo and Juliet are married in secret. As time goes on, the flaws in their plan surface, causing tensions to rise and Romeo and Juliet to meet a tragic end. Even in this tale of star-crossed lovers, nothing could be blamed on the destinies written in the stars: personal choice was the driving factor of this story, constantly thwarting their destinies for better and for worse.
Let’s start from the beginning. The first death in this tale is the widely loved, Mercutio. Mercutio died while battling against Tybalt. Romeo tried to stop this fight by jumping between Tybalt and Mercutio while they were fighting. This blocked Mercutio’s view of Tybalt, allowing Tybalt time to stab Mercutio. Mercutio blamed his death on the feud between the Montagues and the Capulets. He was not wrong, however if Romeo had not interfered with the fight, there would have been a good chance of Mercutio living.
The People Responsible for the Deaths of Romeo and Juliet Who is responsible for the tragic ends of Romeo and Juliet? The star crossed lovers take their own lives in Shakespeare's eventful story. Lord Capulet, the Nurse, and Friar Lawrence are most to blame for the deaths of Romeo and Juliet. Lord Capulet is to blame for Romeo’s and Juliet’s death because he rushes Juliet's marriage, does not approve of their love, and he assumes he knows what is best for Juliet.

Many deaths could have been avoided if Romeo had thought things through. In Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet, Romeo was at fault for almost every death in the play, including his own. It is the 14th century in a town in northern Italy called Verona. This is where the story of the star-crossed lovers caught in the middle of their families long-standing feud takes place. The Montague and Capulet houses have been quarreling for such a long time that the origin of the feud is unknown. The lovers, young Romeo and Juliet, meet at a masquerade party thrown by the Capulets and fall in love at first sight. Romeo generated the tragic demise of himself and Juliet by ignoring warning signs and making impulsive decisions.
William shakespeare once wrote, “Love is blind, and lovers cannot see, The pretty follies that themselves commit” This quote by William Shakespeare in The Merchant of Venice means that people do not know what you are getting into when you fall into love. People can not expect what will come upon you, you can not see or tell what is in your future when it comes to love. This quote relates to the play The Tragedy of Romeo and Juliet By William Shakespeare. When Romeo and Juliet meet and fall in love with each other they can not see the future and the devastation ahead since they had fallen so blindly. The two gave themselves to their love completely and committed to each other, because of this Romeo and Juliet find themselves in a predicament due to their love for eachother. Ultimately, their love is what led to their death. Romeo is most to blame for the deaths of both himself and Juliet due to his immature views on love and infatuation.

Considering the evidence from the play, the blame would fall on the teens themselves.
Romeo and Juliet are a play based on two star-crossed lovers who ended in tragedy. Love, Irrational thinking and the family feud among the two households along with Tybalt provoking fights, and Lord Capulet forcing Juliet to marry Count Paris whom she did not want to marry. The three main reasons for the death of Romeo and Juliet are the characters Lord Capulet and Tybalt as well as timing and fate of all the events and confrontations leading up to their deaths. Lord Capulet forced Juliet into a marriage that she had no say in and was only to the benefit of her father. Tybalt provoked many fights with both Romeo and Mercutio his friend, in turn, eventually killing Mercutio. Romeo then kills Tybalt worsening Romeo and Juliet's relationship by pulling them apart. Finally, the feud among the two households from the get-go prohibited their relationship. All in all, these three aspects of the play lead to the deaths of Romeo and Juliet.
