Throughout the essay I put quotes to lines present in the play that I considered important

First‚ the Capulets are to blame for the deaths of Romeo and Juliet because they are unsupportive‚ uncaring‚ and inconstant. For example‚ they wanted to disown juliet because she declared she did not want to marry Paris. This example depicts Capulet not supporting his daughter’s desires‚ although he wants the best for her. In other words‚ if Capulet had not forced Juliet to marry Paris‚ she would not have tried to find a way out of the marriage. Additionally‚ Lady Capulet does not care for her own

June 2012 When I originally had heard about the ending to Romeo and Juliet‚ the idea of a double-suicide was somewhat ignorant to me. After reading this play‚ I can empathize on what those teens were going through. Love‚ for the most part‚ knows no boundaries‚ bias‚ or discrimination. This was shown very well in this Shakespeare-written play‚ and is a great example of showing the many themes that surround love‚ adolescence‚ and family rivalries. Although they could’ve handled it differently‚ it
