Recommended: Romeo and juliet actions to their demise

Dear Prince Escalus, As you know Capulets daughter Juliet and Montagues son Romeo have ended their own lives. I decided to write this letter to try and clear some things that may have been left unexplained. I will help you understand what happened, where it happened and why it happened and lastly whos to blame for this disaster.

Capulet then started to ramble about how Juliet is ungrateful, stupid, and disobedient, and even threatned to slap her if she didnt follow his orders. At this point Juliet was already thinking about ending herself, but once she found Romeo dead beside her after she had awakened, her depression, anger, and misery pushed her to follow the same fate as
