Who is to blame for the deaths of these two young adults? Romeo and Juliet is a tragedy written by William Shakespeare ending with the deaths of two star-crossed lovers. Many events occur that lead to their deaths. Also‚ many characters have performed specific actions that push these two lovers closer towards their death.

Comparing Death of a Salesman to The Great Gatsby In the search for the American dream many things can be lost‚ this is reflected in the novel The Great Gatsby and the movie Death of a Salesman.

Blame for Romeo and Juliet’s Death In my opinion‚ the blame goes to the characters that supported and didn’t support Romeo and Juliet. Especially‚ Lord Capulet‚ Lady Capulet‚ Friar Lawrence‚ Nurse and fate. Juliet’s parents have an important role for the deaths of Romeo and Juliet. As the mother of Juliet‚ Lady Capulet is meant to comfort Juliet. Instead of doing that‚ she abandons Juliet in the middle of suffering. Lord Capulet acted harsh when Juliet expressed her opinion over Paris. Both of

The Great Gatsby‚ written by F. Scott Fitzgerald‚ has a rather ambiguous and inaccurate title. Narrator‚ Nick Carraway‚ re-tales a story that seems to be unfairly biased on the description of Long Island’s West and East Eggs‚ but also on the portrayal of the characters involved in this story‚ particularly‚ the portrayal of Jay Gatsby.

I don’t believe any person or occurrence is to blame for the deaths of Romeo and Juliet. I think the combination of fate‚ history‚ circumstance‚ and personality were what killed them. In terms of history and circumstance we must remember that marriages were arranged back in the sixteenth century.

The lovers themselves are to blame for their deaths‚ because of the decisions they made and also the warnings that they have decided to ignore. “I fear ‚ too early; for my mind misgives/ Some consequence yet hanging in the stars/ Shall bitterly begin his fearful date/ With this night’s revels and expire the term/ Of a despised life‚ closed in my breast‚/ By some vile forfeit of untimely death./ But he that hath the steerage of my course/ Direct my sail! On‚ lusty gentlemen!” (Act I Scene IV‚ 106-113)

“Great” Jay Gatsby The word great has many meanings – outstanding‚ eminent‚ grand‚ important‚ extraordinary‚ noble‚ etc. - and varies along with the intent of the speaker and on the interpretation of the hearer.
