Romeo finds out she is “dead” and comes to see her. This then leads to both their suicides. This is also evident in Douglas Dupler’s essay when he writes “ In the end, rather than mediating his position of religious authority, the friar devises a secretive plan that goes wrong and leads to the death of the young lovers,” (Dupler 3). It is explained in this essay that Friar Lawrence goes against his beliefs and concocts the plan that then fails. In summary, Friar Lawrence is the one responsible for Romeo and Juliet’s deaths.
It is the ultimate act of love- killing yourself for love. (Quote goes here, could not find one!) This therefore shows that love is to blame because Romeo killed himself out of love for Juliet and Juliet killed herself out of love for Romeo. In conclusion Romeo, Friar Lawrence and love are all equally to blame for the deaths of Romeo and Juliet. Romeo for his immature behaviour and killing Tybalt which made him banished, Friar Lawrence for helping the two lovers in their plans to be together, and love, because Romeo and Juliet were so deeply in love they could not live without each other so they both killed themselves.
He suggested the plan of killing herself, which led to Romeo committing suicide due to the death of Juliet. Consequently, Juliet ended her life because of Romeo’s death. Friar Lawrence thought he was doing the best by marrying Romeo and Juliet. However, his good intentions became the reason of the deaths of multiple
Isaac Velasquez Mr. Hawkins English CP2 5/14/12 Antigone’s killer or killers The story of Antigone is one of a sister who suicides herself after being punished for breaking a unjust law. There are many questions of whose fault it is that Antigone ended her life? But the fault is not only one person it depends on many. Antigone’s death depended on many factors, but mostly by the actions or inactions committed by Ismene, Creon, and Antigone herself. Ismene’s inaction to react to the situation she is put through by her sister contributed to Antigone’s death.
In Macbeth the word blood has several meanings to it. It is used as a symbol of honor, guilt, murder, life, and family; or it can simply be actual blood itself. Many people in this play have died by murder, except one; Lady Macbeth. In the end of the play she ended up taking her own life out of fear and guilt. Lady Macbeth is a coward.
I get the feeling that she was sick from before because of the fact that she killed her husband and went into hiding. I also sympathize with her because if my husband or any family member was brain dead I kind-of would’ve wanted to end their suffering too but at least stick around to do the time after, instead of running away like you planned it. Maybe while her husband was “dead” she snapped and just couldn’t take it anymore, standing around waiting for your loved one to die is just horrible, and maybe during that timing she just had a break down physiologically, and emotionally.
These are your consequences. All Antigone wanted to do was bury her beloved brother. Her love was given a price. That price was death. Creon: Your sister committed a crime punishable by death.
Thus this was what she meant by not even the perfume of Arabia can cover up her guilty sin. Another example would be when Lady Macbeth says “Was your hands, put on your night-gown, looking not so pale: I tell you yet again, Banquo’s buried. (5, 1; 52). Considering the fact that Banquo is dead, and she was the one who influenced her husband to do all those bad deeds, in the end it caused her to relive this scene to show how cruel she was in the past. Thus it is shown that guilt can cause one to lose there inner conscience.
For example, he is responsible for the death of Mercutio, which causes a vengeful spark to rise in Romeo. After Tybalt stabs Mercutio he turns to Romeo and says, “I am hurt. A plague on both your houses” (121). Tybalt killing Mercutio is one of the actions that lead up to the death of Romeo and Juliet. Tybalt had no reason for fighting with him.
Till Death Do Us Part A person of power is responsible for those underneath them. In William Shakespeare’s play Romeo and Juliet, there are many people who were the reason of their death. Tybalt is one of the persons who caused the death of Romeo and Juliet, because he killed Romeo’s best friend, with the death of Mercutio Romeo thought it was the right thing to go kill Tybalt, Romeo didn’t think of the consequences of murdering Tybalt and was banished from Verona. Capulet didn’t think at all about his daughter Juliet of how she felt about marrying Parris, he rushed into things and didn’t mind talking to his own daughter about her feelings and that was one reason she died because she did not love Parris and didn’t want to marry him. Though there are many characters Friar Lawrence is most to blame for the deaths of Romeo and Juliet.
