Who Is To Blame For Romeo's Death

Today we will be addressing who should take the blame for the tragic death of Romeo and Juliet. Sadly, Romeo himself will be taking the blame for this evidence I have.“Stay, fellow; I can read. “Signior Martino and his wife and daughters; County Anselmo and his beauteous sisters; The lady widow of Vitruvio;Signior Placentio and his lovely nieces; Mercutio and his brother Valentine; Mine uncle Capulet, his wife and daughters; My fair niece Rosaline and Livia; Signior Valentino and his cousin Tybalt; Lucio and the lively Helena.”(1.2.70) To begin with, Romeo isn’t intelligent about the choices he makes.
