Romeo And Juliet Who Is To Blame
Romeo and Juliet is a love story between two fighting families, and in the end both of them die, but who is to blame on their deaths? I believe that both of their parents are to blame for Romeo’s and Juliet’s deaths. I believe this because both their parents didn’t have a good relationship with them. For Juliet, the Nurse was basically her mother, and she really didn’t talk to her real mother. For Romeo, it wasn’t the same case, as his mother and father wanted a relationship, but could never find him. Romeo’s “ dad ”, was Friar Lawrence.
Second I feel like who’s fault it is, is Friar Lawrence. He thought that he could have a chance and end the dispute between the two families and marry Romeo and Juliet. His plan might have worked, if he did

The Nurse was the messenger of Juliet, and also kind of teased her a bit. She could’ve tried to talk Juliet out of liking Romeo. She did however try talking her out of Romeo, but she didn’t do it enough to where Juliet might have stopped. She was also like Friar because she helped out with the marriage.
Someone else I have included into this, is Romeo and Juliet themselves. At the feast of the Capulet's, Juliet was supposed to pay attention to Paris, and Romeo was there for Rosaline. In the middle of the party though, they see each other and well, it becomes love at first sight. Then after the party, Romeo decides to eavesdrop on Juliet talk about him. Then after Juliet finishes her speech, Romeo reveals that he was listening to her. The next day, Romeo goes to Friar and tells him he is in love, but not with Rosaline, but the Capulet's daughter, Juliet.
In conclusion, the people that have been stated above are to blame. Now there are some people that are a reason why too, but these are the people that I found the one’s most to blame. This story is a long and kind of interesting story in its own way, but there are some points that could be taken out of

    The Friar is to blame for all of the drama and deaths that went on in Romeo and Juliet. If the Friar wouldn't have married Romeo and Juliet then none of the drama would have began. The Friar shouldn't have given the potion to Juliet, and he shouldn't have lied to the Capulets about why Juliet wouldn't marry Paris. The Friar also shouldn't have gone along with new plans without informing Romeo on what his part was first.…

    But the most blamed would be Friar Laurence. Friar Laurence was the wise adviser to Romeo and Juliet. He kept all of their secrets and helped them be together. He married the two lovers knowing the consequences, but hoping the marriage would end the two families feud. He was the one who came up with the plane for Juliet to take a sleeping potion and be in a seemingly dead state for 42 hours. But before he gives her the potion he replies with: “If, rather than to marry County Paris, Thou has the strength of will to slay thyself; Then it is likely thou wilt undertake A thing like death to elude away this shame, That cop'st with death himself to scrape from it; And, if thou darest, I'll give thee remedy.” (IV i 71-76).

    In the play “Romeo and Juliet” written by William Shakespeare I blame the reason for their tragedy on Friar Laurence. In the play the Friar married Romeo and Juliet to each other and didn’t inform the Capulet's nor the Montague's. The Friar also tried to help Juliet by giving her a sleeping potion so she wouldn’t have to marry Paris. He also failed to deliver the letter to Romeo saying that Romeo didn’t die, but she was in fact sleeping. “I could not send it here it is again nor get a messenger to bring it thee so fearful were they of infection” (Shakespeare 470). Lastly the Friar had blamed the two lover's death of Romeo and Juliet when both the Capulet's and Montague's had heard of there passings.…

    As the New York Times bestselling author Maria V. Snyder once said, “Trusting is hard. Knowing who to trust, even harder.” Often we misjudged people, and sometimes we place our trust in the wrong person. It is all to easy too place your trust in someone and have them lead you astray.

    They each contributed to the problem in some way. The prince says “Capulet, Montague, see what a scourge is laid upon your hate,” (pg 130) implying that the fault lays in the feud. However, the servants reigniting the feud, Juliet and especially Romeo rushing their love, Lord Capulet’s stubbornness, Friar Lawrence’s needlessly complicated plan, and many other characters’ flaws are all to blame. Some have varying extents of blame, for example even though Romeo and Juliet rushed their love, teenage hormones are a reasonable excuse for this so some of the blame can be alleviated from them. Whereas the feud between the two families is the obstacle that made Romeo and Juliet’s love complicated to begin with, which puts more of the blame on the heads of the households. But in general, everyone can be said to have some amount of blame for the death of Romeo and…
