Is Mercutio To Blame For Romeo And Juliet's Death

Who caused Romeo and Juliet’s Death?!

We all know that Romeo and Juliet killed themselves because they loved each other and they wouldn’t last a day without each other…. But, who was the cause of their death?? In the play Romeo and Juliet by Shakespeare, the three characters who are to blame for the deaths of Romeo and Juliet are Tybalt , Mercutio , and Juliet’s parents.

The first character to blame is Tybalt because Tybalt hated the Montagues and when he saw Romeo at their party is was furious because his uncle (Juliet’s dad) wanted Tybalt to leave Romeo alone. But, Tybalt got mad and said “Why, Uncle, ‘tis a shame” and Juliet's father said “Go to go to”. So basically it shows that Tybalt was going to do something to Romeo because Tybalt is going to hold a grudge against Romeo until he finds him and does something. So Tybalt is the key witness of Romeo and Juliets death.

So when the Capulets were having a party, Mercutio was invited to the party and he could bring any guest except the Montagues. However, Mercutio invited Romeo and his cousins anyways Mercutio said to Romeo “Nay, gentle Romeo, we must have you dance.” but then Romeo says “Not I, believe me: you have dancing shoes With nimble soles: I have a soul of lead So stakes me to the ground I cannot move”. So another key witness is Mercutio because if he didn’t invite Romeo , Romeo wouldn't have met Juliet and none of the problems of this death would have
