Who Was Responsible For Romeo And Juliet's Death

Romeo is also extremely short tempered and belligerent. Often, Romeo resorts to violence when conflict occurs, he is quick to act out of rage. This goes hand in hand with how impulsive and irresponsible he is, which further supports that he was responsible for him and Juliet’s death. Romeo kills Paris out of rage and fury, as violence has become a natural instinct or reaction for him. Romeo killed Tybalt as well, over a simple joke. That is two lives that Romeo himself his responsible for taking, is it hard to believe he could be responsible for his own as well as Juliet’s, due to what we’ve seen him capable of over the course of the story. “O, I am slain if thou be merciful open the tomb lay me with Juliet.” Romeo seems to be careless of any consequences he may face due to his

To conclude, many people can be blamed for the deaths of Romeo and Juliet. The main ones, in opinion, are Romeo and Juliet, themselves, and Friar Lawrence. Romeo and Juliet are obvious ones to blame. This is because they are the ones that thought they were in love. They are also the ones that killed themselves. It was their decision to die, so it is their fault. Friar Lawrence only played a part because they trusted him and he had a cause, so he also contributed to the tragedy when he could have stopped

In my opponent’s last essay, it declares, “The fight in the street between Tybalt, Mercutio, Romeo and Benvolio, added more hostility between Romeo and Juliet” (page 2, lines 12-13). That quote is saying how it was Romeo, Mercutio and Benvolio's fault for the fight, and you are correct. Romeo could have chose to not to get in the middle of the fight, maybe Mercutio might have lived. Another quote from my opponent’s essay states, “Romeo ends up defending his maiden family, and gets revenge on the Capulets by taking an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth, and killing Tybalt, putting more pressure between the families, and making Romeo believe that if Juliet and him get married, the feud between the families will end” (page 2, lines 19-23). This shows how Romeo out of hatred for Tybalt put more pressure on the families feud and getting himself banished and almost killed. My adversary in this debate states that, “Juliet herself is to blame for their deaths, because she was willing to take a poison” (Page 3 line 8). When Juliet is informed about his banishment and her marriage with Paris she goes to the Friar for

Romeo takes the third most amount of blame for the deaths of those people. When Tybalt kills Mercutio instead of romeo going after Tybalt he could have left him and let him be punished for killing mercutio which would execution so tybalt would die anyway but that keeps romeo from being banished. If romeo does not get banished then juliet does not take the potion to make her seem dead then romeo does not think that she is dead then he would not kill himself. If romeo does not kill tybalt it would all end there and the other four people would live.

Another character that is to be blamed for the deaths of Romeo and Juliet is Tybalt, Juliet’s cousin. Looking at the events leading up their deaths, Tybalt has always been their progressing the problem, rather than attempting to make things better. Tybalt instantly wanted to get revenge on Romeo, after Romeo showed up uninvited to the Capulet’s party, despite Lord Capulet assuring him it was fine. The quote, “This, by his voice, should be a Montague.- Fetch me my rapier boy,... to strike him dead I hold it not a sin” from Act 1, Scene 5 shows that Tybalt was planning to battle Romeo. Tybalt came to fight Romeo, but Romeo, who had just secretly married Juliet, did not want to, as they were now family.

Secondly, Romeo still decides it’s ok to love Juliet, and marry her even after he knows that she is a Capulet. When Romeo is leaving the Capulet’s party and he finds out Juliet’s real identity he has to see her again, so he goes to her backyard and speaks to her making plans to get married the next day. He does all of this knowing that the Capulets are the Montague’s nemesis. He is married to her the next day and that leads to him killing Tybalt and getting exiled.

The famous play of Romeo and Juliet written by William Shakespeare is about two people who share an overpowering love for each other. Juliet was insanely attracted to the one person in the world who she was not allowed to love, Romeo, while he was also in love with her. Because Romeo and Juliet's families had been fighting for many years, the lovers had to go to a great extent to keep their love a secret which would bring about their death. This then brings up the question of who was responsible for their death. Friar Laurence is responsible for the death of Romeo and Juliet because he married them without having the parents consent and giving Juliet the vial of poison.

In the Romeo and Juliet play I would blame Romeo of being wrong about his actions and decisions he made. Romeo killed about two people and became a problem because he is a Montague and the love of his life is a Capulet. Romeo also didn’t think most things through before doing them. He wouldn’t think about the consequences or trouble he’d be causing. Romeo shouldn’t have made himself the bad guy in this play. Romeo nor Juliet were making the right decisions. Romeo was just breaking the rules of the Montagues and Capulet being separated.

I believe Romeo and Juliet were responsible for their own deaths because they married each other knowing there would be massive complications, and the love they had for each other would bring Romeo and Juliet to kill themselves if one was to die. Act 5 Scene 3 line 120, “Thy drugs are quick. Thus with a kiss I die” (pg 1043). This shows how much Romeo cared for Juliet, he would kill himself because she was dead, which also shows how Romeo was responsible for his own death because it was his choice to kill himself or be killed from the death of Tybalt which he was responsible for, which still comes back to him and his own actions. Act 5 Scene 3 line 165-166 “Haply some poison yet doth hang on them

The character of Romeo is responsible for the death of himself because Romeo made his decisions, such as killing Tybalt, going to the Capulet party, and moving on from Rosaline too quickly. Romeo made his decision of killing Tybalt from getting revenge for Mercutio. Romeo didn't think about the consequences of killing someone from Juliet's family. The result of Tybalt being killed was Juliet's parents wanting her to marry Paris to help her through her grief, which lead to Friar Lawrence's plan to fake Juliet's death, so she can remain married to Romeo instead of having to marry Paris. Another decision Romeo made was to go to the Capulet party, even though he's a Montague. He went to the party and met Juliet, who was a Capulet. This caused them

Romeo overhears juliet talking about him saying how much she loves him. Romeo of course couldn't stay silent anymore and he said, “call me but love, and i'll be new baptized henceforth i will never be Romeo!” (II.ii.50-51). Romeo's love is so intense that he is willing to change his name just for a girl he's known for a couple of hours. Romeo is so in love he will do anything for they could be together. In addition to romeo's crazy love for juliet, while on juliet's balcony juliet tries to tell romeo is my family sees you, they'll kill you. Romeo says “ my life were better ended by their hate thom death prorogued wanting, of thy love! “ (II.ii.77-78). Romeo is saying that he rather die then not be able to be with juliet. This shows how dramatic his personality

The two ended up dying for each other, this was not a joyful ending to the story because they were only together for a little while. Romeo did not even think it was a good idea to go in the first place, he considered the consequences of being at the party of his sworn enemy. “I fear, too early: for my mind misgives/Some consequence yet hanging

I believe that Tybalt is to blame for all of the trouble in the story. My reasoning behind this is he is very hot headed, always picks fights with the Montague, and is very fast paced. First off Tybalt is very hot headed. “This, by his voice, should be a Montague. Fetch me my rapier, boy.” Tybalt automatically asks for his sword when he sees Romeo at the party. Secondly Tybalt is always trying to pick a fights with the Montague family. “Boy, this shall not excuse the injuries that thou hast done me; therefore turn and draw.” Tybalt is trying to start a fight with Romeo just because he can. Lastly Tybalt is very fast paced. “Well, peace be with you, sir. Here comes my man.” Tybalt just passed up a fight within second to fight with Romeo. In

Romeo is a young boy who falls head over heels for a young girl named Juliet. Romeo and Juliet are the main characters and star crossed lovers in this story. Romeo is a Montague. He is strong, brave, foolish, and young. Throughout the story he was poor not well thought out decisions For instance, Romeo says O, here will I set up my everlasting rest and shake the you of inauspicious stars from tjis world-wearied flesh. (Act 5 scene 3 page 225 lines 112-115) Which basically means since Juliet is dead (or so he thinks) he will join her in the afterlife by killing himself. He doesn’t think about his decisions enough and only cares about looks rather than personality which says a lot about his character. He may be a great fighter since he killed

Prime University Journal indicates that in Romeo and Juliet, Shakespeare's Juliet is a headstrong and intelligent character in spite of her young age. It is Juliet who sets the boundaries of behavior in her relationship with Romeo. She allows him to kiss her, she pledges her commitment before him, and it is she who suggests their marriage. Juliet's forgiveness of Romeo after he kills Tybalt (Juliet's cousin) indicates her mature nature in contrast to his passionate impulsiveness. Furthermore, Juliet lies and clandestinely subverts her family's wishes, a truly rebellious action against traditional Italian society.
