Romeo And Juliet Blame
Young, dumb, and in love. Romeo and Juliet had all three strikes against them. In the play Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare, the couple died. Who could be the perpetrator(s)? I say it was not only the nurse and Friar Laurence, Romeo and Juliet play a part in their own deaths.
One reason Romeo and Juliet are to blame is because the couple were so desperate and in a hurry to be with one another. There is a saying that goes something like this: “To rush, is to waste”.

Hopeless, the young Capulet unsheathes the dagger that had once been that of Romeo, putting herself into a rest she never awoke from. Truly a tragedy.
