    I believe the people in Romeo and Juliet’s lives helped cause their death. One person who helps cause their death was Tybalt. I think he helped cause their death because if he would have stopped trying to fight Romeo, then Romeo wouldn’t have killed him. If Romeo wouldn’t of killed him, then Juliet’s parents wouldn’t of rushed her into marrying Paris, then she wouldn’t of came to Romeo’s father talking about killing herself. Friar Laurence also helped with their deaths because he is the one who gave Juliet the sleeping potion, which made Romeo think he was dead.These are the people I think helped cause Romeo and Juliet’s…

    Romeo and Juliet fell in love within mere seconds, without contemplating the consequences the love may cause. Willing to “Deny thy father and refuse thy name,” Juliet sacrifices her family and name for the adolescent romance (2.2.37). Passion blinds Juliet from reality, causing her to disregard their family complications. The young love promotes Juliet to risk her family and name for this young infatuation she possesses with Romeo. Ever since they laid eyes on one another, Romeo and Juliet continuously formulate careless decisions, such as determining to get married. Romeo and Juliet make the rash decision on “Thy purpose marriage,” and Romeo must “send [Juliet] word tomorrow,” (2.2.149). During the couple’s discreet encounter, Juliet audaciously agrees to send someone at nine o’clock the next day to discuss marital arrangements with Romeo. This abrupt decision to marry one another expresses the recklessness behind the young romance. Young love causes people to devise imprudent decisions without pondering the ramifications it may…

    In the story of Romeo and Juliet, by William Shakespeare, the tragedy of the double suicide by the two star crossed lovers, is the result of the family quarrel between the Montagues and the Capulets.

In the story, Shakespeare explores the hate between the families and how Romeo and Juliet's love is oppressed by the adults. The adults should have been more supportive of Romeo and Juliet and showed their love for them no matter what.…
