The two families hold a immense responsibility for the deaths of the star cross lovers as they kept the feud going far longer than what was necessary. The conflict set a strong presumption that Romeo and Juliet's relationship would not be supported, forcing them to keep it secret.The rivalry also caused Tybalt and Mercutio’s violent deaths which had an enormous effect to how their love story ended. Juliet's parents especially should be blamed. Lady capulet, Juliet's mother was narrow minded and domineering. She believed an arranged marriage was a necessity for Juliet without considering Juliet's opinions or concerns.
Firstly, Friar Laurence married Romeo and Juliet knowing that their families hated each other and that it could end very poorly (Shakespeare 944-45). Friar knew this was a bad idea, but he continued with it and married the two. However, if he did not do this he would never be in trouble and Romeo and Juliet would then have to get married the ordinary way, thus, letting both families know. Next Friar decides to give Juliet a vial which will put her in a death-like state and sends a letter to Romeo about the plan, but it does not get to him (Shakespeare 993-1012). If Friar Laurence did not give Juliet the vial, Romeo would not kill himself because he thinks Juliet is dead.
The hatred between the Montagues and Capulets also led to their love being forbidden, if the two families were not enemies than the death of Romeo and Juliet would never have taken place but in the end their death ultimately brought the families together. “Doth with their death bury their parents strife. …and the continuance of their parents’ rage, which, but their children’s end, nought could remove.”(Prologue, L8-11). The rushed love of Romeo and Juliet also contributes to their very tragic death. Romeo and Juliet are so rushed in their
They see that their own hate for one another has ended with the death of the ones they love most, and that they cannot let this continue. This makes us think about real life situations where fighting and war can bring innocent people to their death, although they have done nothing wrong, and only want to live a peaceful live with the ones they love. The strong love between Romeo and Juliet contrasts substantially with the hate that fills Verona. Both love and hate are senseless and mysterious. The involved parties focus solely on that attribute, and therefore consequences are ignored, and thus lives can be lost.
Bad luck, can be defined as an inescapable and often conflicting results; destiny. Romeo and Juliet were ultimately the ones responsible for their own deaths looking from a destined point of view. On the other hand, the death of the two are partly caused by bad management. The fact that Romeo and Juliet got married knowing that there was a bitter feud between their two families. This feud brought problems along with it, such as the killing of Tybalt by Romeo.
Hamlet: Love Lasts a Lifetime Hamlet’s peers thought that the cause of his sudden insanity was his love for Ophelia; many readers question his love for her. Ophelia she was a beauty that many people thought was unworthy of a prince; she was a courtier’s daughter. What many of them did not realize was that the main reason for Hamlet’s madness was caused by his hatred for Claudius and his mother, Gertrude. Hamlets need to avenge his father’s unjust murder lead to the termination of his relationship with Ophelia. People may argue that Hamlet only acted like he loved Ophelia, but I feel that he truly did have feelings for her and his vengeance got in the way of their love.
MEDEA: Yes, it is by doing so that I shall hurt my husband most. CHORUS: But no woman would then know greater misery. MEDEA: So be it!” (Euripides, Lines 16 -19, p72) The audience’s attitude towards Medea will have changed at this moment, as the fact of killing her own children was the most outrageous part of this play. It is also at this point that she distances herself from the audience and most importantly, any
In addition the parents kill the grudge with their children, as it caused the problem first. This leaves the audience shocked because in the Elizabethan Era, suicide and bigamy are both seen as mortal sins. (not completed, i need helllllllpppppppppppp plz
Upon further investigation, Friar Lawrence should receive the blame. Admittedly, Tybalt has a large influence on Romeo and Juliet’s death, because he caused the fight. Romeo tried to avoid it, but Mercutio joined in and started the fight and later Tybalt killed Mercutio. Romeo got mad and killed Tybalt and got exiled from Verona. However, Friar Lawrence is more responsible than Tybalt for the deaths of our “star cross’d lovers” because he allowed Romeo and Juliet marry and it caused Romeo to avoid the fight at first with Tybalt, than later tried to stop the fight between Tybalt and Mercutio and caused Mercutio to get killed by Tybalt.
1. They wanted to be together no matter the opinion of their families because they felt a love so deep that they couldn’t be apart 2.
