The person I blame the most for all the trouble in Romeo and Juliet is the Friar. There are Five different instances when he could have changed the outcome of the play. The first one is not marrying them The second is telling Lord Capulet about them falling in love. The third is not giving juliet the poison. The fourth is making sure the letter about Juliet not being dead reached Romeo. Finally the fifth is going to the gravesite sooner before Romeo killed himself.
The first reason is not marrying them. If the Friar had not married Romeo and Juliet then Mercutio's death would have never happened here is a quote that proves that because they were related, Romeo did not want to kill Tybalt. “To such a greeting: villain am I none; Therefore farewell; I see thou know'st me not.” (Romeo and Juliet Act III scene I).
The second reason is telling the Capulets and Montagues about Romeo and Juliet falling in love. Here is a quote that explains how that would have affected Paris marrying Juliet. “Hang thee, young baggage, disobedient wretch! I tell thee what: get thee to church o' Thursday, Or never after look me in the face. Speak not; reply not; do not answer me”(Romeo and Juliet Act III scene V). This quote shows how it would have been different if Paris would have never made the request thus meaning Friar told Capulet of the marriage.

I mean really. Did anyone ever think to just, I don't know, sneak Juliet to Romeo how hard would that be. Here is a quote from when Friar gave Juliet the poison.”And madly play with my forefather's joints? And pluck the mangled Tybalt from his shroud? And, in this rage, with some great kinsman's bone, As with a club, dash out my desperate brains? O, look! methinks I see my cousin's ghost Seeking out Romeo, that did spit his body Upon a rapier's point: stay, Tybalt, stay! Romeo, I come! this do I drink to thee.”(Act llll Scene
