In my opinion, I think Romeo and Juliet are to blame for their own deaths. They married too soon and barely knew anything about each other. Romeo and Juliet kept it a secret and only a few people, such as the Nurse and Friar Lawrence, were aware of the secret marriage. Romeo and Juliet dug their own graves in the end.

Juliet could have just told Lord Capulet about the marriage and even though Lord Capulet may be disappointed, she wouldn’t have had to fake her
