Friar Lawrence Is To Blame For Paris's Death

Who is to blame for Paris’ death? County Paris, is a rich, handsome bachelor who is in pursuit of Juliet’s hand for marriage. When things change because of their wedding, people involved are to blame for his death. Lord Capulet, Friar Lawrence, and ultimately himself are to blame for his death.
A cause of Paris’ death was the decisions made by Lord Capulet. Lord Capulet states, “But woo her gentle Paris, get her heart;/My will to her consent is but a part./ An she agree, within her scope of choice. /Lies my consent and fair according voice”(1.2.16-19).Capulet didn’t follow the marriage customs by asking Paris to wait for Juliet’s hand in marriage, and Paris complied with his wishes.
