Who Is Lady Capulet Responsible For The Deaths Of Romeo And Juliet?

Romeo and Juliet are two of Shakespeare’s famous characters. They are known for being two star crossed lovers and two people who committed suicide, but there are certain people who should be more famous in the Shakespeare world. Their names are Lord and Lady Capulet and Lord and Lady Montague, the parents of Romeo and Juliet. The Lord and Lady of the Capulet and Montague households are the people who are responsible for their children’s deaths because of the Capulet’s brash personalities, the Montague’s lack of presence in Romeo’s life, and the overall intimidating nature of both sets of parents.
Lord and Lady Capulet are responsible for the death of their daughter Juliet because of their pushy personalities. Lady Capulet is a half hearted

Lady Capulet is established as an unsupportive parent from the beginning of Romeo and Juliet. Her relationship with Juliet is strictly formal. The first red flag to their formal relationship is when Juliet’s mother gets Juliet’s attention by getting the nurse to call on her. Lady Capulet does not take the time to seek out her daughter, she makes the Nurse bring Juliet to her. Clearly, Lady Capulet does not give Juliet the “time of day” she only wants to talk to here about serious topics. Some people may see Lady Capulet as a bad parent, but that it did not contribute to Juliet’s death.

When they recognize that Romeo needs advice in his life they send a servant or another person, once again not really taking responsibility to parent their child. It is quite obvious that the Montagues send people to seek out Romeo. Lady Montague talks to Benvolio to find out the where about of Romeo. She says, “Oh, where is Romeo? Saw you him today? Right glad I am he was not at this fray”(I, i, 106-107). In this case Lady Montague does not take enough effort to even know where he son is. In Act I scene i line 133 it is Lord Montague turn to be a negligent parent. Benvolio asks him, “My noble uncle, do you know the cause?” His answer is ultimately no. Clearly, both parents are unconcerned about Romeo’s life. Benvolio has to basically prompt them on what to do as parents and take care of Romeo’s problems himself. Romeo’s parents seem to not care about him enough to take time out of their “important” schedule for him. One might object here, and say that the Montague parents really do care about Romeo because, Lady Montague died of heartbreak after Romeo’s death. However, after minimal research it is easily found that Romeo was the Montagues only child. Clearly, she would have been devastated that they no longer had anyone to pass down the family’s wealth and name. The
