First‚ the Capulets are to blame for the deaths of Romeo and Juliet because they are unsupportive‚ uncaring‚ and inconstant.

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

Romeo and Juliet is a very tragic story of love‚ resulting in both Romeo as well as Juliet’s untimely demise. Although‚ one question remains. (There are actually several unanswered questions‚ but I thought that that would be a good way of transitioning topics.) The question being‚ who is most‚ if not entirely responsible for the deaths of Romeo and Juliet? My vote; Romeo himself. Romeo‚ feeling a bit down on himself after having had his feelings for the love of his life‚ Rosaline‚ ripped to shreds

We all know of Romeo and Juliet as a famous love story but do they really love each other. (Summary) I believe Romeo’s true desire was based upon lust for Juliet’s body‚ not for who she truly is. Romeo is not in love with Juliet because he is still in love with Rosaline‚ and is trying to get over her. Even Friar Laurence says he is not in love. Romeo’s love for Juliet doesn’t come from his heart instead‚ it comes from his eyes. “In act 2 scene 3 (located on page 3 )‚ Friar Laurence says‚ Holy Saint
