blame for the tragedy of Romeo and Juliet rather than the young lovers. Discuss. In the play Romeo and Juliet‚ the adults are partly to blame for the tragedy of Romeo and Juliet. Friar Lawrence‚ Romeo’s mentor‚ had a part of the responsibility. He should have told the parents about Romeo and Juliet’s relationship. Also‚ he made up the rushed plan that backfired and ultimately killed the young lovers. He also left Juliet at the time when she needed him most. However‚ I think that the fate of the star-crossed

Throughout the years‚ I have lost a number of loved ones‚ pets‚ and people I didn’t quite know. I spent a lot of time tallying and recalling these losses. What I found was that only a small number of those who died were members of my family.

The problem of polarization in American politics can be solved through the reformation of the current political system‚ built around reaching a consensus on every issue‚ to one more majoritarian. And bypassing the problems created by the electoral system. With such a majoritarian system it doesn’t matter how polarized the parties are. In the current both sides must find room where they agree in order to pass legislation. In the current polarized environment there is little to no room for the democratic
