How Both Romeo and Juliet Take Full Responsibility for their Deaths

Romeo and Juliet is a play that was written by William Shakespeare between the years of 1594 and 1596. Shakespeare based the plot of the play off of a poem called The Tragicall Historye of Romeus and Juliet, which was written in 1592 by Arthur Brooke. Arthur Brooke based his poem off of a translated tale written by an Italian poet called Matteo Bandello (Britannica 2017). At the end of the play, Romeo commits suicide as he thinks that Juliet is dead. When Juliet finds out that Romeo has committed suicide, she also commits suicide. There were many people and events that led to Romeo and Juliet’s deaths. The three main contributing factors were the feud between the Capulets and

I read the story of Romeo and Juliet and also watched the movies including them in it. I feel like whenever Juliet drank that drink to make her sleep and people thought she was dead that it wasn’t her fault for Romeo killing himself by drinking the poison. That wasn’t Juliet’s fault, someone should have told him that she were asleep instead of really thinking she was dead. Nothing would’ve ever happened if Romeo knew she drank something to make her sleep. Whenever Romeo drank the poison after seeing Juliet laying there she woke up to him killing himself so after he was dead she grabbed his dagger and stabbed herself and she died with him.

In William Shakespeare’s tragedy Romeo and Juliet, we meet the characters and how their actions led to a tragedy. Romeo and Juliet met, end up falling in love, and – since both cannot dream of living without the other – take their lives. While the play ends in a tragic death for both characters, it was their own reckless decisions; though others might believe that it was destiny that played a large role in the lovers’ downfall. However, the majority of the text evidence points to them making their own choices leading to their demise.

Some believe Romeo and Juliet are responsible for their own deaths but that is not the case. Romeo and Juliet did kill themselves but they killed themselves because someone banished Romeo and someone gave Juliet a potion to fake her death. They are wrong because Friar lawrence gave

Who’s fault is it for the various deaths? In “Romeo and Juliet” by William Skakespeare there’s various deaths. Teenage lovers fell in love but their familes hated each other. When they got married no one knew. Friar Lawrence married them in private but, the nurse did know. In Romeo and Juliet, Friar Lawrence is to blame for all the various deaths. He married Romeo and Juliet and came up with the plan for Juliet to appear her death.

In the William Shakespeare's play both Romeo and Juliet end up killing themselves. I believe that the most responsible person for there deaths is Friar Laurence. Without his many actions Romeo and Juliet would be alive.

I think it’s partially juliet’s fault because she should have just gone along with what her parents had planned for her to do with the arranged wedding with paris. Act 1 Scene 3 juliet says,

Romeo is to blame for the death of Juliet and himself because his intentions in the beginning of the story were of lust and not love. Romeo states, “Oh, she doth teach the torches to burn bright! It seems she hangs upon the cheek of night like a rich jewel in an Ethiop's ear, beauty too rich for use, for earth too dear. So shows a snowy dove trooping with crows as yonder lady o'er her fellows shows. The measure done, I’ll watch her place of stand, and, touching hers, make blessèd my rude hand.

However, Romeo is the only one that caused all the deaths by either instigating or committing the acts himself. It was Romeo’s idea to get married to Juliet, and he is the one responsible for the fights throughout the play. It could be seen as teenage haste when Juliet kills herself, but it is only the result of Romeo first killing himself, “Juliet: Yea, noise? Then I’ll be brief. O happy dagger,/

In Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare, Romeo and Juliet commit suicide. Romeo kills himself with poison. Juliet stabs herself with a sword. However, is there another character to blame for their dramatic actions? Romeo is to blame. Romeo wants to marry Juliet immediately after meeting her, is impatient when waiting for news from the Friar, and murders Juliet’s cousin (Tybalt). Romeo’s impatience causes his own love story to end tragically.

The Tragedy of Romeo and Juliet is a book of fate and how everyone in the world affects the happenings of this world. The author of this extraordinary book is William Shakespeare. Although Romeo and Juliet killed themselves, there were many people responsible for their deaths. It is arguable that the parents of the two lovers, Friar Laurence, and Romeo and Juliet themselves were the most responsible, some could say that the other main characters like Mercutio, Benvolio, Tybalt, the Nurse, and Paris were involved as well. There were many people responsible for the deaths of Romeo and Juliet, although they took their own lives, they were not all to blame.

Do acknowledge that I am not arguing that it was not justified. The plan that Friar assembled was indeed to blame for the death of three characters, however, it was also to blame for the ending of the feud between the rival Montague and Capulet households. To be even more specific than just using Friar Laurence’s marrying of Romeo and Juliet as the spark of the tragedies to come, one most look at the plan that he constructed to truly examine the causes of such catastrophes. Friar’s plan was to reunite Romeo and Juliet by giving Juliet a potion that would cause her to appear dead and Romeo would obtain a letter from Friar John that would tell him the plan. After which he would go to Juliet’s tomb and be there when she awoke. Although seemingly not ridiculously complicated, lots goes wrong, leading to the death of three. Some may argue that it was Friar John’s fault for not delivering the letter to Romeo in time and some that it was Balthasar for telling Romeo that Juliet was dead. Regardless, if Friar Laurence was to not have assembled this plan that none of this could have happened in the first place. Yet, it was exactly this plan that did not unfortunately reunite Romeo and Juliet, at least alive, but in fact united the Montague and Capulet families themselves, which in turn likely will prevent less death in the long run. Before Juliet kills herself with Romeo’s dagger,

In the play, Tybalt has a large influence on the death of Romeo and Juliet. He helps contribute to their deaths because he kills Mercutio and Romeo in turn kills Tybalt which causes Romeo to be banished from Verona. Then Juliet tells “Romeo is banished!” “There is not end no limit, measure, bound. In that word’s death: no words can that woe sound.” (Act III Scene II 128-130) If Romeo had taken the time to think before killing Tybalt he would not have killed him and therefore he would not be

In the play, Romeo and Juliet, by William Shakespeare, Friar Laurence is responsible for their deaths. So many things were done wrong by Friar Laurence, that lead to their deaths. The first mistake that Friar Laurence made was to agree to marry the two in secret and without the permission of their parents. The next bad advice he gave, was when he instructed Juliet to fake her own death. The last wrong thing was giving the message for Romeo to an unreliable messenger. If any of these events did not take place, their deaths could’ve been avoided.

Friar Lawrence was the most responsible for the death of Romeo and Juliet in several ways. He was just out of his mind. He made not only one mistakes, but many mistakes that all caused Romeo and Juliet's death. First of all, he made one major mistake that he could have prevent. He trusted a teenage girl, Juliet. Teenagers aren’t stabilize, and the most scaring thing is that most of them don’t think of the consequences of love. Friar gave her fake-death poison. This is crazy! This decision was a very poor choice on the Friar's behalf. Here, he shows his irresponsibility by saying, "If... thou hast the strength of will
