Who Is To Blame For Romeo And Juliet's Death

803 Words4 Pages

I’m sure everybody has all heard of William Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet play. If you have ever read the play, or possibly watched movies about it, have you ever wondered what lead to the young lovers, Romeo and Juliet’s tragic death? In my opinion, there are many reasons to list why Romeo and Juliet died. A few reasons to name are: Romeo getting banished, the hate for the Montagues and Capulets (Romeo and Juliet’s families), and Romeo and Juliet falling in love at such a young age. In the paragraphs below, I will explain why I think those events caused Romeo and Juliet’s deaths. One of the reasons what probably lead to Romeo and Juliet’s death, is Romeo getting banished by the Prince. Since Romeo was banished and can’t go back to Verona where Juliet lives, Romeo would have a hard time to see Juliet in person. …show more content…

Romeo’s family (Montagues) and Juliet’s family (Capulets), strongly dislike each other, and are rivalries. If the two families would have liked each other, Romeo and Juliet wouldn’t have to rush their marriage since they would probably be able to be together, and they would still be alive. The hate for one another somewhat relates to Romeo being banished because Tybalt (Capulet) and Mercutio (Montague) both die with the help of Romeo. If the Capulets and Montagues weren’t enemies, Romeo wouldn’t be banished, and would still be able to see Juliet. Plus, the Capulets and Montagues would most-likely be okay with Romeo and Juliet being together. In the end of the play, the Montagues and Capulets came together and became friends. If Romeo and Juliet at least faked their deaths, maybe the families would come together and end the rivalry. Although, after Romeo and Juliet die, the Capulets and Montagues became more friends than enemies, but it would have been best if they were friends in the first place, so Romeo and Juliet would not have been where they are at now

The two families have been feuding for many years, in the first act, we saw how this hate illustrated in Sampson and Abraham fight, Sampson says, “ I/ will push Montague’s men from the wall and thrust his/ maids to the wall” ( I.I.15-17.). This quotations express the hate the two families have for each others. The parents are responsible to begin this hate long time ago. Consciously, I don’t blame tybalt that he killed Mercutio, or Romeo that he killed tybalt, both are victims of aggravation that has been planted in their minds and hearts. In addition to that, Capulet and Lady Capulet force Juliet to marry a person that she doesn’t love and has no feeling toward him, moreover, they informs her about her wedding date before it by 2 days.

The first reason is that if the families would actually get along they wouldn't have to sneak out to see each other and they could live a happy life without getting into all of these fights with people getting killed. The second reason is that if Juliet's parents would have found out that she was even talking, yet seeing a Montague (Romeo) her entire family would banish her because she's doing a sinful thing. The final reason is that if there were no sides or no differences to the Montagues, and the Capulets then Juliet wouldn't be forced to "marry" Paris and she would be able to see Romeo whenever and marry

In my opinion I think that the feud between the two main families, the Capulets and the Montagues, is the most responsible for Romeo and Juliet’s death. The conflict between these two families is so distasteful that it causes Romeo and Juliet even more of a struggle as they try to find and keep their love. This conflict between the Capulets and the Montagues has been going on for a very long time and neither side is willing to make up for whatever may have happened in the past. Because of this a strong dislike is portrayed when someone sees a person from the opposite side. If the family feud wouldn’t have existed Romeo and Juliet would not have any large reason to hide their relationship.
