Lord Capulet To Blame For Romeo And Juliet's Death Essay

Albert Einstein once said “You can't blame gravity for falling in love.” Einstein believes that love cannot be always blamed. People can be accused for many things, such as death. This is what happens in the play The Tragedy of Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare.The Tragedy of Romeo and Juliet describes two feuding families that cause a lot of trouble. Both families have kids, one has a son and one has a daughter, and they fall in love and get married. This does not end well for both the kids and the families. This awful feud leads to the Romeo and Juliet’s deaths. Once people saw them dead, they started to blame Friar Laurence. Yet was he the one who should have been blamed for this?

This makes Lord Capulet the reason that Romeo and Juliet died. He pressures Juliet to marry Paris by saying ,“Sir Paris, I will make a desperate tender/ Of my child’s love.

Friar Laurence also discovers that Romeo did not get the letter that day; it will not reach him until next Thursday. These issues were caused by Lord Capulet moving the wedding up. This ruined his plan and helped contributed to the deaths of Romeo and
