Turning Against
Not everyone is at fault for the deaths of Romeo and Juliet, although some are more than others. Some people like the Nurse, turn against Romeo & Juliet, even though she tried to help them get together in the beginning. Others, like Juliet’s parents, Lord & Lady Capulet, are blind to what’s going around them, and their daughter’s emotions, while also believing in stupid ideologies. Then comes good old Fate, which no one can do anything to stop, and could have been nicer. Fate, Lord, Lady Capulet, & the Nurse, are all more at fault than the others for the tragic deaths of Romeo and Juliet.
The inevitability of fate is what starts in the beginning of the play. In the chorus, it tells us that both lovers are “star-crossed” (1), meaning that they are in the crosshairs of fate, that something bad will eventually happen to them. They are “death-mark’d” (1) with their “fearful passage of their… love” (1), meaning that their love will also be the beginning of their demise. They have a consequence, “yet hanging in the stars…” (18). Romeo fears, and perceives, that something bad lies ahead, which will begin his “fearful date” (18), or the day he dies.
Lord and Lady Capulet believed in the idea of arranged marriage, that it was a good thing for their daughter. La. Capulet was blind to Juliet’s feelings and emotions, and only wanted what she and her husband wanted, which was for Juliet to be married to the county, Paris. If Lady Capulet had been more of a motherly figure, and had listened to her daughters needs, had been more caring, and had done the simple things a mother should have done, Juliet wouldn’t have wanted to drink the potion that got the ball rolling in the first place. Lord Capulet wasn’t any better and had a defect of character. He had narrow vision, and thought that if Juliet were to marry Paris, that her grief from Tybalt passing would pass. Lord Capulet forced Juliet’s hand. He had told her, “I tell what: get thee to church o’ Thursday, or
