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.
In the play Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare, Romeo and Juliet’s love comes to a quick end when they both die. They were both from rival families making it harder for them to be together. Friar Lawrence is responsible for their deaths because he puts together the plan for Juliet’s fake death. This plan fails and ends with Romeo and Juliet dying. The death of the star crossed lovers, Romeo and Juliet was caused by Friar Lawrence.
/ O, much I fear some ill unthrilly thing” (5.3.129-140). As the watch approaches, the Friar grows selfish and flees from the scene leaving Juliet who now realizes that Romeo killed himself. She then kills herself which could have so easily been prevented by the Friar. Time and time again his irresponsible behavior gets the best of
Romeo and Juliet died horrible deaths. Romeo took his own life with poison. Juliet stabbed herself with Romeo's dagger. They took their lives for the love of each other. The thought of losing each other, made them individually lose the interest in their lives.
For the death of Romeo's mother, I put the blame on Tybalt and for Mercutio's death, Romeo is to blame. Romeo and Juliet are the offspring of the two most important families in Verona, who are also enemies. When they meet each other, they automatically fall in love, and start defying the feud. It is Romeo and Juliet's forbidden love that gets Paris killed. When Romeo is in the tomb to see Juliet's 'dead' body, he comes across Paris.
This happiness is sharply contrasted to the sadness and anger that takes over, when Balthasar tells Romeo of Juliet’s death. The true tragedy is that the reader knows Friar Lawrence sent a message to Romeo telling him of Juliet’s fake death and that Romeo had not yet received the news. Balthasar’s news results in Romeo immediately buying poison and rushing to Verona with the intent of dying beside Juliet. “A dram of poison; such soon-speeding gear/As will disperse itself through all the veins/That the life-weary taker may fall dead” (5.1, 63-65). It is through all of these errors and mistakes that the plot of Act 5, Scene 1 helps to make Romeo and Juliet a true tragedy.
One of many reasons Tybalt is responsible for the death of Romeo and Juliet is that he escalates a fight which then leads to the punishment of death for the next person spill blood. At the start of the play a few servants from the two families are talking and then Tybalt shows up and turns the argument into a fight; during the fight the prince turns up and announces that the next person to kill from one of the families will be executed. This is responsible for the death of Romeo and Juliet as the prince announces the person to sheds blood will be executed, and as Romeo retaliates when Tybalt kills Mercutio and Romeo goes and kills him, Romeo then flees the city to stay alive, during this Juliet
Romeo risked getting killed by the Capulet’s by visiting Juliet late at night at her balcony. “If they do see thee, they will murder thee.”(ii.ii.74) Juliet was telling Romeo that if the guards saw him they would murder him. Romeo didn’t care, and he took the risk talking to her all night long and getting in trouble. If that’s not love, what is it? A third reason why I think Romeo and Juliet are truly in love is because they got married so they were committed to each other.
He warned Romeo that “violent delights have violent ends and in their triumph die, fire and powder, which as they kiss, consume.” (2:6:9-11). Friar Lawrence had a feeling that the quick and hasty decisions that were made would not end well. However, he continued on to marry them, believing that their marriage would stop their parents’ feud. In addition, Friar Lawrence gave Juliet the idea of faking her death and saying, “…take thou this vial, being then in bed…” (4:5:93). He suggested the plan of killing herself, which led to Romeo committing suicide due to the death of Juliet.
Romeo and Juliet go through a series of unfortunate events which ultimately leads to their deaths. The bad luck starts off with Romeo killing Tybalt and getting banished from Verona. After Romeo and Juliet tie the knot a fight breaks out between the Montague’s and Tybalt Capulet. Even though Romeo is filled with love and happiness, he is set off when Tybalt kills Mercutio, so Romeo gets even by killing Tybalt. The usual punishment for murder at that time was death, but Romeo was only banished from the Verona walls.
