They got married and were happy until feuds with in the family separated them. Juliet was devastated as well as unhappy with her father, which led to death for both Romeo and Juliet latter in the story. Father Capulet is the character most to blame for the tragic events in Romeo and Juliet because he is the father of Juliet and he raised Juliet, how he reacts to things, she learned to react to them in a similar way, Capulet is always fighting against the Montagues and showing Juliet that it is okay to fight against others and not listen to what they have to say, and Capulet forces Juliet to do things that makes her want to rebel. …show more content…
She learned from the actions of her father. In Act I, Scene I, Capulet walks in on a fight and instead of trying to stop it, he tries to join it, “What noise is this? Give me my long sword, ho!..... My sword, I say! Old Montague is come, And flourishes his blade in spite of me.” In Romeo and Juliet, people are always killing. If Capulet would have stopped the feud, Juliet might have learned that killing is a bad thing. Also, Romeo and Juliet would be able to be with each other if he had stopped the feud. Because the are always killing Juliet doesn’t realize how effective it is, so she pretends to kill herself and then actually kills herself
Firstly, some people believe that the parents of Romeo and Juliet were to blame for their deaths because of the ongoing feud between the two families. The argument between the Montague’s and Capulets is mentioned in the prologue, ‘Two households, both alike in dignity, in fair Verona where we lay our scene, from ancient grudge break, to new mutiny, where civil hands make civil hands unclean, from
In the tragic story of Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare two teenagers met, fell in love, and eventually committed suicide from the pressure around them. Juliet's family, the Capulet's and Romeos family, the Montague's have a strong rivalry between each other. In my opinion, the Capulet's are to blame for Juliet's and Romeos death. The Capulet's are at fault because they played a major role in the ongoing rivalry with the Montague's, they were pressuring Juliet into marrying Count Paris, and had Romeo banished from Verona.
In the play, Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare, Lord Capulet is most to blame for Juliet’s death because he is verbally abusive and fickle. Lord Capulet shows change throughout the play and proves that his actions have consequences.
Lord Capulet and Lord Montague are both responsible for the deaths of Romeo and Juliet. They are in a constant war between the families because of their names. If they didn’t have conflict, everything that happened to Romeo and Juliet wouldn’t have died. When Capulet forced Juliet to marry Paris, which led to her taking the potion, and when she didn’t wake up, Romeo died. Even when Capulet had total “control” over Tybalt, he still didn’t control him and got Tybalt killed because of his pride.
Then to make the matters worse, Juliet has to marry Paris. She is forced into a marriage where she didn't love the man and she was also married to Romeo at the same time. This is completely against her religion forcing her to disagree with her parents on the marriage, resulting in an argument. "An you be not, hang, beg, starve, die in the streets," is what Capulet ranted to Juliet after she disagreed to marring Paris. Not to mention her mother didn't even care what she did after the argument, she says "Do as thou wilt, for I have done with thee (3. 5. 205). This scares Juliet and also enrages her. She doesn't know what to do at this point besides either talking to Friar Laurence. "I'll to the Friar, to know his remedy," and if that doesn't work, "myself have power to die" (3. 5. 241). She would kill herself because she would be banished from her own home if she didn't marry or she would basically never see Romeo again, plus be married to a person she doesn't love. Her parents don't even care about anymore over a marriage. That seems unreasonable and makes sense to completely disown their
"This is thy sheath. There rust and let me die" (Act 5, Scene 3, Page 8, Line 184). In Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare Lord Capulet and Friar Laurence is involved with the deaths of Romeo and Juliet both physically and mentally. Lord Capulet forces Juliet to marry Paris the "next day", making Juliet think about suicidal thoughts. Friar Laurence marries Juliet and Romeo together even though he knows about their family's feud. Friar also tells Juliet about a plan, that directly leads to both of their deaths. Lord Capulet and Friar Laurence are responsible for the deaths of Romeo and Juliet.
The Capulet’s and Montague’s are responsible for the death of Romeo and Juliet because of the hatred between the families.
Lord Capulet was responsible for the deaths of his daughter and Romeo due to his extremely unsupportive nature when it came to Juliet and her decisions, and the aggression and the amount of violence that occurred between His family and the Montagues. The third character that is responsible for the tragedy that occurred is Lord Montague, he is at fault for ignoring the feud between his family and the Capulets and not doing anything to try and stop the violence or resolve the feud, which ultimately was the reason for Romeo and Juliet's tragic end. Tybalt is another character who greatly bears responsibility for the untimely deaths of Romeo and Juliet. Tybalt’s short temper and lack of thinking his actions through before performing them caused him to get into multiple brawls with the Montagues over nothing, and this hotheadedness caused him, Romeo and Juliet to meet their

The Capulets as one are to blame for the death of Romeo and Juliet.The reason Romeo and Juliet killed themselves is because the Capulets pushed Juliet to get married to a man she didn't love. “An you be not, hang, beg, starve, die in the streets, for, by my soul, I’ll ne’er acknowledge thee.” (3.5. 221)This evidence shares that Lord Capulet is the reason this tragic event happened to Romeo and Juliet.
