In an interview with Benvolio Montague, an eyewitness at the scene says; “ Tybalt wanted to fight so he taunted Romeo to do so. Romeo refused to fight. I am unsure why Romeo didn’t fight with Tybalt, he was instead trying to be at peace with him. But Mercutio felt honour-bound to stand up for Romeo and fight. Romeo tried to stop the fight but failed, Tybalt stabbed Mercutio under Romeo’s arm and ran away from the scene."…
The story “The Tragedy of Romeo and Juliet” is a story about two people who met and instantly fell in love in secret. They are both from two families that have bitter hatred for eachother. Juliet was forced to marry a man named Paris. Juliet said she would rather kill herself than marry Paris. Friar Lawrence was forced to come up with a plan that in the end pretty much killed Romeo and Juliet. But who was to blame for this tragedy?…
Benvolio, who wanted everyone to be friends, warned the guys not to fight in public. Insults were exchanged, but Romeo remembered that Tybalt is his new wife's cousin, so he turned the other cheek. Mercutio found this totally shocking, actually dishonorable, so he offered to fight Tybalt instead. They fought and then Romeo tried to intervene, but Tybalt suddenly stabbed Mercutio. Romeo and Benvolio assumed that Mercutio has not been badly hurt because he started joking about his damage but it was no joke. He was dying. A minute later, he died. Romeo blamed himself for Mercutio's death. So, he decided to man up by challenging Tybalt to a duel. And then finished him by killed Tybalt. This quote showed that Tybalt is always looking for a fight and that he always thinks he is going to win anything no matter what. He is a coquie and a prideful person. If he had not started the fight there would not have been no death, because Tybalt killed Mercutio and with force Romeo killed Tybalt, Romeo got banished which changed everything in the story. Lastly, these are the reasons why Tybalt had a big responsibility of why the lovely teenagers…
Terrible things happen, that’s a fact, but when they happen, who or what is to blame? In the play Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare, the famous star-crossed lovers end up committing suicide and dying in each other's’ arms. Almost every event in this play added up to this result, but the four major events- the two meeting, the two marrying, Romeo being sent away, and the fake death of Juliet and real suicides- are evenly split between the two causes, fate and personal choices. Because of this, the roles of fate and the choices of the characters both had aon equal impact on the characters from this play.…

Who is to blame for the deaths of Romeo and Juliet? Nobody knows the exact person to blame for their deaths. Many people have different opinions about who is to blame. The play The Tragedy of Romeo and Juliet was written by William Shakespeare. Two teens from two different families have a hard time being together because their families don’t get along with each other. Three of the main characters that people blame are Mercutio, Friar, and Tybalt because they all did something in the play to influence their deaths.…
Others might say that Tybalt is responsible for the death of Juliet. This is true because, in act 3, scene 1. “Boy, this shall not excuse the injuries that thou hast done me; therefore turn and draw”. So if Tybalt hadn’t addressed Romeo and Mercutio, Romeo and Mercutio wouldn’t have died and Romeo wouldn’t have been banished. So if Romeo hadn’t been ostracized, Juliet wouldn’t have gone through desperate measures to avoid her marriage with Paris. Therefore, if Juliet hadn't taken Friar’s potion, Romeo wouldn't have killed Paris, or consumed the poison, Juliet wouldn't have killed herself. Therefore, I would say that Tybalt is the main reason for the deaths and tragedy in this book.…
We all know that Romeo’s banishment was a result of murdering Tybalt. Although Tybalt was a villain, and was practically evil, Romeo did not need to kill him and he brought it on himself. However Tybalt was going to try to kill Romeo any way, and Mercutio tried to stop him. Mercutio’s death was also Romeo’s fault, “ROMEO tries to break up the fight TYBALT stabs MERCUTIO under ROMEO’s arm.”(Sparknotes, Shakespeare act 3 scene 1 page 5). If Romeo let Mercutio beat Tybalt, then the Prince most likely would have not punished Mercutio and Romeo would never have gotten banished.…
Mercutio died solely because the two families were feuding. It's simple. It is neither Romeo, nor Tybalt's fault that Romeo crashed a party to see Rosaline, that Tybalt took offense, that Tybalt challenged him to a duel, that Mercutio stood up for his friend, that Mercutio died.…
Most are familiar with the timeless tragedy of the two star-crossed lovers, Romeo and Juliet, by William Shakespeare. However, along with the tragedy comes the question- Who, or what, is to blame for their deaths? Some would say Friar Lawrence, or the feud, or fate, but while all of those contributed, it could’ve been prevented entirely by one single person: Juliet’s mother, Lady Capulet. She was negligent, manipulative, and bitter.…
Another significant character that contributes to Romeo and Juliet's death by thinking with his heart was Romeo himself. Mercutio is the best friend of Romeo. He decides to provoke a fight with Tybalt, Juliet's cousin. At first, the fight was for fun, but Tybalt ended up stabbing Mercutio, which resulted in him dying. Romeo found out about his best friend's death, and he wanted revenge. He sought out Tybalt and ended up slaying him. Because of this, the Prince banished Romeo for his actions. Juliet's nurse ends up telling her that Romeo killed Tybalt and he is banished. This brings a lot of misery to Juliet, she says, “Some word there was, worser than Tybalt’s death, that murdered me. I would forget it fain,…
People may think that Tybalt is to blame because he got into a fight with Romeo ultimately causing Romeo to be banished. Tybalt did actively and willingly go to battle with Romeo in the streets. He also did kill Mercutio and caused Romeo to seek revenge for his friend. However, Tybalt attacked Romeo because he was raised to hate the Montagues. All that Tybalt knew was his family's hatred for the Montagues. Due to this, Tybalt got into a fight with Romeo, causing Romeo to get banished, and ultimately causing Romeo and Juliet to kill themselves in the end. In the play when Romeo comes to the Capulets's party, Tybalt says, "This, by his voice, should be a Montague." Quoted from pg. 1014. Tybalt said this because he gets angered that Romeo has snuck into the party unannounced. This causes Tybalt to grow even more of a hatred to Romeo specifically. Due to Romeo coming to the party without being invited and just for being a Montague, Tybalt's instincts tell him to fight Romeo. Were it not for the family feud, Tybalt would have little to no reason to hate Romeo, causing him to do battle with Romeo, ultimately causing Romeo and Juliet's deaths. Tybalt is not a major factor into the deaths of Romeo and Juliet. His hatred for Romeo and the Montagues was taught and grown into him, and due to the secrecy of Romeo, he felt offended by the uninvited Romeo to the Capulet…
In the story of Romeo and Juliet, two teenagers from enemy families fall in love and after several deadly feuds they take their own lives. You could blame several people for this tragedy. While Romeo and Juliet physically took their own lives, Lord Montague and Lord Capulet are at fault for their deaths.…
Juliet cries and wails in despair when she sees the love of her life dead on the floor. Juliet’s blood runs cold with sadness and she soon becomes to quake in agony. A life without Romeo isn’t worth it, she thinks. Soon after, with a blade, she seals her fate as Romeo did. In William Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet, this tragedy was the greatest of them all. Two star-crossed lovers took their lives to avoid living without each other. If it were not for Romeo being impulsive with love, him slaying Tybalt, and him drinking the poison, both Juliet and he wouldn’t have died so tragically. Romeo is to blame for his own death and Juliet’s death as well. Henceforth, Romeo is to blame for the famous tragedy.…
A real life story of The Tragedy of Romeo and Juliet has been reported by the Latin Post. They had reported that a young couple had jumped in front of a train committing suicide. The couple was said to be having problems at home because the daughter’s family did not approve of their relationship and the girl’s mother even said that she didn’t want the boyfriend living with all of them and she didn't like him. This disapproval of the mother represents in the original tragedy because in it the Capulet’s and Montague's had disliked each other leaving a feud between the two families. The mother’s dislike of the boy had led the two into committing suicide because it had kept the two from being with each other, it’s just like the problem with Romeo and Juliet and their families’ feud. In Act II scene ii line 77-78 Romeo says “ My life were better ended by their hate…
