Capulet Responsible For Romeo And Juliet's Death

Capulet and Friar Lawrence are prominent supporting characters contributing to Romeo and Juliet's death. Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare start in fair Verona, a village in Italy. Two families go against each other in many ways, but the two main characters from each family want to end the feud. However, End themselves in the process. It was not just their fault; Capulet, Juliet's father, was a big reason why they died because he did not listen to his daughter Juliet. As well as Capulet, Friar Lawerence tried so much to help that he just made it worse. Capulet was the biggest reason they had to keep everything a secret. Capulet was a good father who always wanted the best for his daughter but failed to help her by forcing her to do things

Capulet does this by not listening to Juliet and pushing to marry someone at a young age (she is not fourteen. How long is it now to Lammas-tide? A fortnight and odd days.) (1.3 15-17). He thought he knew her, so he pushed Juliet into marrying Paris even though she would permanently deny him. Because he would not listen to her, she had to keep Romeo a secret, which in turn drove her to make bad decisions in this quote saying how he would not listen. He does not want her to speak. Speak not, reply not, do not answer me !My fingers itch. Wife, we scarce thought us best That God had lent us but this only child,But now I see this one is one too much,And that we have a curse in having her. Out on her, hilding!” (3.5 161-166). Capulet could have helped many characters live, but he let the conflict continue. However, his not listing is a problem, but because of his family's murders, Juliet has to keep everything a secret, as, in the balcony scene, Romeo has to leave early so the guards would not find him. If they did, he would be murdered as in this “If they do see thee, they will murder thee.” (2.2 74). If he calmed this entire situation down, there would be no

The friar Lawrence was too quick about things and helped too much. He got their trust quickly by promising that marrying them would fix the family’s conflict, but it led to risky ideas that could have been dodged. The frier knew that Romeo had just met her by Talking about Rosaline, Romeo’s old girlfriend, “God pardon sin! Wast thou with Rosaline” (2.3 44). So how quickly he wanted to marry them was a wrong decision that turned them down a path that only went down if he did not marry them so quickly. Paris would have married Juliet in a few years, and Romeo and Juliet would have never happened because they would only be dating, so Juilet would be less defensive over marrying. She would probably marry him, and there would be no story. However, the frier did the opposite by doing too much, and the things he was doing was too risky. The
