Everyone says Romeo is the problem or that it happens to be fate. I believe that the real reason behind all the tragic events is Lord Capulet. Lord Capulet shows as more of a violent person when looking behind all the real tragedies. Capulet making all the decisions and thinking he’s doing what’s best for the family hasn’t been a good overall idea yet. Lord Capulet is the catalyst for all the tragic events in the play. The Prince banning the Capulets and Montagues is tragic for the Capulet family. A few minutes after Romeo enters the party, Tybalt notices and says “Fetch me my rapier, boy” (1.4.54) as if he is going to fight him right there. Capulet doesn’t want to disturb any peace, so instead of telling Tybalt not to fight Romeo at all, he …show more content…

At the duel that Tybalt starts, Romeo ends up killing him with rage and love-filled intentions. “Tybalt, the reason that I have to love thee, Doth much excuse the appertaining rage.” (3.1.61-62).

All the Capulets grieve over Tybalt's death, but it all could have been prevented if Capulet had said to never fight Romeo.

Juliet, Friar Lawrence, and Romeo all figured out a way for Juliet to be “dead” for the wedding, but wake back up in time for Romeo to see her. The potion Friar Lawrence gave Juliet must have been taken the night before the original wedding day, which was Thursday. Capulet then decides to move the wedding day to Wednesday, which ruins the potion plan. Now that Juliet has to drink the potion early, everybody finds her and pronounces her dead, and so does Romeo. Romeo doesn’t want to live without Juliet, so he kills himself. “or fear that I still will stay with thee, And never from this palace of dim night Depart again. Here, here I will remain with worms that are thy chamber-maids. O, here Will I set up my everlasting rest.” (5.3.106–110) Juliet wakes up to see Romeo dead and she can’t live without him either, she kills herself in response “Haply some poison yet doth hang on them To make me die with a restorative.” (5.3.165-166). If Capulet had left the wedding date the way it was, the potion and messaging would have worked like it was supposed to and no one would be dead. Capulet and the decisions he makes have ruined the Capulet family. Every decision he made led to a tragic
