The deaths of Romeo and Juliet can possibly be blamed on the Capulet and Montague feud, the decisions of Romeo’s seventeen year old brain, and also Friar Lawrence. The feud between the Capulets and Montagues is a leading cause to Romeo and Juliet’s deaths. Romeo started his love for Juliet when he saw her at the party and wanted to talk to Juliet and immediately fell in love with her. Quoted from Romeo and Juliet (Page 61), “My only love sprung from my only hate!…
Romeo and Juliet, the two star-crossed lovers, were stuck in the middle of the quarrel between their parents, which made it almost impossible for them to be together. Even though falling in love is not a sin, it was apparent that their love would not be approved by their parents. Romeo and Juliet risked their lives to be together and incidentally, they died in each other’s arms. The question here is who the cause of their infamous death was. Everyone who was close to Romeo and Juliet had a connection to th¬¬eir cause of death.…
In Romeo and Juliet we see the death of many characters, two of which are the lovers Romeo and Juliet. Along with some of their family members and close friends who die during the play as well, and during all this the question must be asked, Who is to blame? There are three people that could be considered the reasons of why so many people died. The three most worthy of blame would have to be: Romeo, Juliet, and Friar Lawrence they are to blame for the deaths of many. ("DBQ: Romeo and Juliet: Who's to Blame".…
Besides those reasons, Romeo is additionally to blame for the deaths of himself and Juliet because he did not take anyones advice about his relationship with Juliet and he physically committed suicide which caused Juliet to kill herself for him. By not taking suggestions from anyone about his relationship with Juliet, Romeo ultimately doomed himself and his newlywed. Just one example of Romeo’s disobedience is towards Friar Laurence before he marries Juliet. Romeo wants Friar to be the one to wed him and Juliet. When he tells Friar about meeting Juliet at the Capulet party and wanting to marry her, Friar says, “Not in a grave/…
The adults were to blame for the deaths of Romeo and Juliet because of miscommunication. Romeo and Juliet are dead because they received the wrong message. Friar Lawrence and Friar John did not deliver the right message at the right time which caused Romeo and Juliet to kill themselves. One example of the adults being at fault is when Friar Lawrence explained, “I’ll send a friar immediately to Mantua, with letters to your husband…” (Romeo and Juliet.4.1.108-109).…
In The Tragedy of Romeo and Juliet, two young lovers meet, both from feuding families, both who will die at each others sides. All because of true love, or was it just lust?

Blame is when someone or something is assigned for a wrong committed by another person. People assign blame to feel better about themselves and the mistake they made, using it as an excuse.

Two factors leading to the untimely death of Romeo and Juliet are Capulet’s treatment and the Friar’s unprofessional reaction to the young couple’s relationship.…
Romeo is responsible for our deaths because of his rash behavior. For example, when Romeo found out that I was supposedly dead, he immediately thought of suicide, saying, “And a man did need poison now… here lives a caitiff wretch would sell it him… And this same needy man must sell it me” (p270). Romeo was remembering passing this man and thinking that if he needed poison, this man could sell it to him. Now that Romeo thought I was dead, he insisted this man would sell him poison so he could kill himself.…
Falling in love doesn’t always lead to a happy ending. It can sometimes end it tragedy because people don’t think about the consequences love causes. In the play The Tragedy of Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare love is the main villain because it led to them being willing to change their identities, Juliet disobeying her family, and eventually, their own deaths. To begin, love led Romeo and Juliet to be willing to change their identities. As Juliet suggests Romeo to change his name she says, “Romeo, doff thy name and for that name, which is no part of thee” (II.ii.47-48).…
Juliet’s father was mainly to blame for the tragic ending in the story of two star-crossed lovers. Juliet’s father tried to brainwash her and tell her how she is worth nothing if she can’t help him. Juliet being the strong female she was, didn’t like the things her father said to her on what was acceptable and in the end pushed her too far, so she could be free and happy. Juliet’s father said he had all of these great things planned, and that she would be so happy with Paris, who she was set to marry.

The question asked above says, ”Who or what is to blame for the deaths of Romeo and Juliet?” I believe that the parents influenced this a lot although it wasn’t their intention to hurt their kids it happened anyways. From what I read and saw I could see that the kids were affected by this feud tremendously. Without the feud, they didn’t have to sneak around. If they didn’t sneak around they could’ve avoided all of the events leading up to this tragic incident.…
