After Romeo and Juliet get married, When Mercutio and Tybalt start to fight, Romeo tries to stop them, but Mercutio is killed by Tybalt and Romeo kills him. When Mercutio dies, he says, “May a plague strike both your houses. Goddammit! I can't believe the dog, that rat, that mouse that cat could scratch me to death!” (Text 1, Page 89). Research that supports this is in Text 8. “A gang member is 60 times more likely to experience death by homicide than the general population.” (Text 8, Line 14). This supports my thesis when the gangs of the families are always fighting each other and they’d die from it. In conclusion, Lord Capulet is to blame for the deaths of Romeo an Juliet because he started the feud, caused family members to die and had a bad connection with Juliet. We can learn from their deaths that you should not rush through things and that you should take time to spend with your family when growing

Everyone has their different opinions on who is to blame for the deaths of Romeo and Juliet. Romeo and Juliet is about two people that fall in love from two different families who are in a feud with each other. Lord Capulet is to blame for the deaths of Romeo and Juliet because when Romeo was at the Capulet part he didn’t let Tybalt do anything to make Romeo leave. Reason two is he is the one that planned for Juliet to get married to Paris without her consent.

I believe that the most guilty for the death of Romeo and Juliet is Mercutio. Mercutio is the main source of the start of the chain of reactions leading to Romeo and Juliet’s deaths. To start with he is the reason Romeo met Juliet, specifically because if Mercutio had not told him to go to the party then he wouldn't have gone and met Juliet and none of this would have happened in the first place. Romeo even stated that going to the party was a bad idea hence the line “And we mean well in going to this mask, But ’tis no wit to go” but mercutio decided not to listen and they went anyway. Romeo would still instead be sad and depressed over Rosaline, which is a little better than being dead. He is also

Many people can be put to blame for these two young people, including their parents, by keeping the feud between the two families going. Mercutio can be blamed, to some degree.

Mercutio may seem to be a character that just adds humor and acts a jokester in the play but he served a stronger purpose as he was the catalyst that ended six people’s lives. Mercutio played a big part in how the story of Romeo and Juliet played out as he pushed the story forward. Mercutio is much more than just a supporting character in Shakespeare's play “Romeo and Juliet” because his character was a close friend of Romeo and had a large effect on Romeo’s life.

There are three characters in the story of Romeo and Juliet that take some and most of the blame on the death of the two Romeo and Juliet. Two of the characters take some of the blame while the third character takes all of the blame. The two characters that take some of the blame are Lady Capulet And Lord Capulet. Lady Capulet is married to Lord Capulet and have a daughter named Juliet. The third person that takes most of the blame for their death is not a person at all. It is fate. These three characters are the reason why Romeo and Juliet take their lives. ("DBQ: Romeo and Juliet: Who's to Blame". Doc.B,A,D)
Capulet could be the character to blame for the death of Romeo and Juliet, because he forced Juliet into marrying Paris. Capulet thinks that her marrying Paris will bring her happiness and plans a wedding for her. But when he informs Juliet about the wedding, she doesn't want to marry Paris. Capulet's response to this is, "Hang thee,
Capulet is the second character that is responsible for Romeo and Juliet’s death. Capulet is responsible for their deaths because Capulet rushes Juliet’s marriage with Paris. Capulet wasn’t always in a rush with Juliet’s marriage. In Act I Capulet wanted Paris to wait a couple of years to marry Juliet, but Juliet didn’t want to marry Paris. She loved and married Romeo instead. In Act 3, Romeo killed Tybalt and caused Romeo’s banishment, causing Juliet to cry about Romeo’s banishment. Therefore, Capulet thought Juliet was crying about Tybalt, Capulet told Paris, “Things have fall’n out, sir, so unluckily, That we have had had no time to move our daughter; Look you, she loved her kinsman Tybalt dearly… Tis very late, she’ll not come to-night…” (3.5) Capulet doesn’t know about Juliet being married Romeo.
The scene introduces Mercutio, Romeo's clever and witty friend. Mercutio's character is personally interesting because he is able to poke fun on Romeo's statements about love and dreams while humorizing it
Have you ever thought that Lord Capulet was to blame for Romeo and Juliet’s deaths because he was an aggressive parent and did not support Juliet? Lord Capulet wasn’t supportive enough for Juliet and Romeo. He said that he was going to threaten to disown Juliet if she didn’t marry Paris. Lord Capulet was really aggressive toward Juliet, and that could have led to Juliet making bad decisions. He was also not listening to Juliet either, because when Juliet was trying to open up to her, he would not listen.
Mercutio Is responsible for everything that as happened so far. It's his fault because of the way he handled the the fight. in many ways he used his own death along with Tybalt's death. He also cuales Romeo's banishment. It's all his fault everything.
“Romeo, the love I bear thee can afford No better term than this: thou art a villain.” said Tybalt. Me, a villain? How dare he call me that name? Does he know about me and beautiful Juliet? He can’t know. These are the only things that blow through my mind. I respond as if he knows nothing.
When Mercutio first appears in Act 1, Scene 4, he, Romeo, and Benvolio are preparing to go to Capulet’s masquerade. Romeo does not want to participate, but Mercutio convinces him (I, iv. 41-42). Romeo agrees to participate, recognizing that he may not be entirely in control of his future (I, iv. 112-113). In the next scene, Romeo meets Juliet, creating the main storyline of the play. It is obvious that this would have only occurred due to Mercutio’s influence; Romeo would not have taken part if Mercutio had not convinced him to. Romeo was feeling too dejected, and would have sat on the sidelines instead. The other major example of Mercutio’s influence in the play is exhibited in the scene in which he dies. Tybalt challenges Romeo to a duel, who declines; Romeo does not want to fight his cousin. Tybalt, however, sees this as an insult and questions Romeo’s honour. Mercutio stands up for him, and Tybalt and Mercutio fight. Romeo attempted to stop them, but he is too late; Tybalt stabbed Mercutio, before fleeing the scene. With his dying breaths, Mercutio blames Romeo for his wound, saying “…Why the devil came you between us? I was hurt under your arm.” (III, i. 98-99). Romeo realizes that Mercutio’s wound truly was his fault, and his grief is made worse when he finds that Mercutio has died. Tybalt returns to find Romeo wracked with grief. To avenge his fallen friend, Romeo challenges Tybalt to a duel, which Romeo quickly wins. There is no question that this would have happened if Mercutio had not been killed; after all, Tybalt was Romeo’s cousin, if only for a couple of hours. In this scene, Mercutio not only influences Romeo, but with his death at Tybalt’s hands leads Romeo to kill Tybalt. In addition, Mercutio influenced the members of the Capulet family as well. Lastly, Mercutio’s death lead to a string
Love has already overcome him and controls all of his thoughts and actions. This love prevents Mercutio from saving Romeo and keeping peace between the families. In Act 3, scene 1, Mercutio fights Tybalt on behalf of Romeo and his relationship with Romeo. Romeo attempts to break up the fight, but Tybalt stabs Mercutio. As he is dying, Mercutio says, "A plague o' both your houses!
