The Death of Romeo and Juliet “There is only one happiness in this life, to love and be loved” (George Sand). Romeo and Juliet were madly in love with each other and many people caused havoc which leads to the death of Romeo and Juliet. Various people may have caused the death of Romeo and Juliet, but in my opinion Tybalt, Lord Capulet and Romeo himself caused the two lovers to parish.

She begs to let them get married after a little while. “But Fettle your fine joints ‘against Thursday next To go with Paris to Saint Peter's Church”.( 3.5 154). But Lord Capulet has other plans. He tells Juliet that they are getting married on Thursday and it was currently Tuesday. She does not like any of this. So she decides to go Friar Lawrence and asks him for a potion to kill herself with. He has an idea that Juliet likes, he tells her about a poison that makes it look like you are dead. It turns you white and the blood and color leave your skin but it does not actually kill you. So they come up with this plan and Friar Lawrence sends a man to tell Romeo the plan.
