It all begins with the feuding Montagues and Capulets. Romeo and his friends sneak into a Capulet party, where Romeo meets and falls in love with Juliet. With the help of Friar Lawrence, who hopes to reconcile the families, they are secretly married the next day. Juliet’s cousin Tybalt, who hates the Montagues more than anyone, challenges Romeo to a fight. Romeo refuses. Mercutio is offended by the way Tybalt treats them and accepts the fight on Romeo’s behalf. Mercutio ends up getting killed. Romeo loses his self control and kills Tybalt in return, which leads to his exile by the Prince. He threatens to execute Romeo if he returns. Juliet is distressed.

The story ends in tragedy with both Romeo and Juliet dying, along with other characters in the story. Though there are multiple characters in the story that contribute to the young lovers’ deaths and the rest of the characters’ fates, Romeo bears the most guilt of the characters in Romeo and Juliet because of his inability to think before acting.…

    Mercutio, a friend of Romeo, dissents his request and challenges him instead. This altercation led to the death of Mercutio, which led to Romeo’s desire for vengeance. Tybalt reaches his demise as Romeo stabs him with his sword. Romeo flees to Friar Laurence’s cell and receives the news that he is exorcised from Verona. Tybalt’s death causes Lord Capulet to move Paris and Juliet’s wedding on Thursday. Helpless, Juliet consults Friar Laurence for advice about postponing the wedding. Friar Laurence fabricates a plan to get Juliet away from Paris. “If, rather than to marry County Paris,/ Thou hast the strength of will to slay thyself/ Then is it likely thou wilt undertake/ A thing like death to chide away this shame…” (IV.i.71-74) This is another mistake because he should have thought of an easier solution: one that doesn't require Juliet to fake her death, as it is a spurious plan. After informing Juliet with the plan, he proceeds by giving her a potion to mimic the effects of death. “Take thou this vial, being then in bed,/ And this distilling liquor drink thou off…” (IV.i.93-94) He also says he will get another friar to deliver the information about the plan, in the form of a letter, to Romeo. “I’ll send a friar with speed/To Mantua with my letters to thy lord.” (IV.i.123-124) Friar Laurence’s omission to deliver the letter himself was another…

    After the lovers finally marry, a terrible fight ensues in which Tybalt kills Mercutio, and as a result, Romeo kills Tybalt. The Prince recently decreed that any more public fights between the Capulet and Montague families would result in punishment by death, and as Tybalt was a Capulet and Romeo is a Montague, it looks as though Romeo should be executed. Instead, the Prince lessens the sentence to banishment, as Mercutio, one of his kinsmen, was among the casualties. Friar Lawrence delivers this wonderful news, but to Romeo, but the youth provides a less than happy response.Instead of being grateful and working with the situation, Romeo complains and insists that banishment is worse than death, even though he will still see his true love and family. Later, he even throws himself on the ground crying, and threatens suicide. Unless he gets exactly what he wants, it is the end of the world for poor Romeo. Similarly, Juliet becomes extremely dramatic when problems arise. After dealing with Romeo’s banishment, her parents try to make Juliet happy again, but get the wrong idea for her happiness. They decide to arrange a marriage between her and a rich Count, not knowing she is already married to someone she loves. After a brutal argument between Juliet and her parents, the young woman quickly goes to the Friar. Instead of calmly explaining the situation Juliet, enters and demands. Although she does…
