“Love is the sweetest and slowest form of suicide” - Anonymous. This quote is utterly displaying how Romeo and Juliet’s love was for each other. Romeo and Juliet are two young lovers, who belong to two different families and are forced to keep their love affair secret. The two lovers end up dying because of unexpected events that happened. Capulet’s are higher to be criticism then Montague’s, for their death. One logic for Capulets to be indicted for Romeo and Juliet death is how the two families have been feuding with each other for many years. In the opening of the play Sampson and Gregory, two Capulets, walk the street of Verona talking about the Montagues. Sampson said, “I / will push Montague’s men from the wall and thrust his maids to the wall” (1.1.15-17) …show more content…

The Capulets and a little bit of Montague’s are to blame from this particular instances because if they did not conflict with one another, then probably for Romeo and Juliet to marry each other wouldn’t be so complicated. In addition to that, if the fight in the streets of Verona did not take place, in the opening. Then it wouldn’t have caused further trouble between the two families. My way of viewing this is that if the family didn’t feud with specifically one another, the chances are that maybe the two lovers are still alive and live their happy life. Convincingly reason the Capulets are to charge for their deaths is on the edge of the act three, where they contrived Juliet to marry Paris. Juliet’s father was really disappointed and furious when he said, “ Be fettle your fine joints ‘gainst Thursday next / to go with Paris to Saint Peter’s church, / or I will drag thee on a hurdle

Juliet characterizes as a loyal and obedient daughter, she always wants to please her parents whenever she can. This puts tons of pressure on Juliet’s decision.

But fettle your fine joints ‘gainst Thursday next / To go with Paris to Saint Peter’s Church/ Or I will drag thee on a hurdle thither” (III.v.144-145, 153-155). Because Lord Capulet had changed his mind about the marriage, he forced Juliet into a situation that was hard to get out of. As a result, Juliet was so repulsed by the idea of marrying Paris since she had had the chance to fall in love with Romeo. The only way to avoid the marriage was for Juliet to drink the potion, causing Romeo to think Juliet was dead, and ultimately resulting in the death of both Romeo and Juliet. Therefore, Lord Capulet should have either said that Juliet would have to

The theme of love is often associated with peace and kindness. However, in Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet, the two lovers’ suicidal impulse shows love as a cause of self-destructive violence, as seen through their thoughts, words and actions. Firstly, Romeo and Juliet’s suicidal thoughts reveal the violence caused by their love. In other words, it is their intense passion for each other that leads to their contemplation of suicide. For instance, when Romeo is told of Juliet’s supposed death, he immediately thinks of killing himself and begins to plan his suicide, as demonstrated by the following quote: “Well, Juliet, I will lie with thee tonight.

There are several reasons why Lord Capulet is to be blamed for the deaths of Romeo and Juliet. His decision to force Juliet to get married, his contribution of the family feud, and his decision to change the day of the marriage. The main reason I think Lord Capulet is to blame is because he forced Juliet to get married. Him forcing Juliet to get married only left Juliet two choices and that was to either run away or get married, and of course we all know that her getting marred to anyone but Romeo wasn't an option. If he had never forced her to getting married then she would not have done what she did.

Italo Calvino once stated “A classic is a book that has never finished saying what is has to say.” Many people argue that a work of literature written before 1900 is outdated and has nothing to contribute to modern society. Others argue that classic works are timeless in what they say about human nature. The Tragedy of Romeo and Juliet is a relevant work for a person in modern times due to it teaches us valuable pieces of information.
