Responsibility for Romeo and Juliet's Deaths
There is much controversy to who is to blame for the deaths of Romeo
and Juliet, a number of things and people could be held responsible
for the deaths of Romeo and Juliet. But who is responsible for their
deaths? Even before the play begins the grudge between the Capulet and
Montague families has begun. Because of this, it becomes imminent that
one thing or event will start off a sequence of incidents that will
end in tragedy.
The on-going feud between the Montague and Capulet families could be
held responsible for the deaths of Romeo and Juliet, because if their
was no feud between these families then Romeo and Juliet would have
been able to have a safe normal relationship in which their family
would have agreed to. The feud meant that they had to keep their
relationship under wraps and tip-toe around their families. The
ancient grudge between the two families meant that if one member of
either family found out about Romeo and Juliet then they would be
killed,
‘If they do see thee, they will murder thee.’
The family feud between the Montague and Capulet families could also
be held responsible for the deaths of Romeo and Juliet because they
both grew up with people dieing within the families because of the
grudge. For instance Mercutio and Tybalt, Mercutio was a very loyal
friend of Romeo’s and Tybalt was Juliet’s cousin. The deaths of these
characters meant that Romeo and Juliet were both distressed and
unhappy, and thus could have given more reason to their own deaths,
‘ A’ Thursday let it be, a’ Thursday, tell her,
She shall be married to this noble earl.

...liet could be blamed for their
own deaths is that Juliet shouldn’t have deceived and disobeyed her
parents. If she didn’t then she wouldn’t have married Romeo.
Finally the last reason why Romeo and Juliet could be held responsible
for their own deaths could be that they shouldn’t have taken the
potions, both Romeo and Juliet. They both had much more to live for
than just each other,
‘For fear of that I will stay with thee,
And never from this palace of dim night
Depart again. Here, here will I remain’
There are many people and things to blame for the deaths, the parents,
fate, the family feud, Paris, The Nurse, Prince, Friar Lawrence, and
Romeo and Juliet, but each has its own good qualities of why it could
be those people. It is really a personal decision on who is at fault
and how you view the book.
Nobody forced Juliet to drink the potion, nor kill herself. Romeo also chose by his own free will to kill Tybalt and to drink his poison. The ill-fated lovers, the ill-disposed parents and the ill-mannered prince all contribute to the deaths. Because of their decisions and because of their behaviors and characteristics they play their parts in the conflicts. The Prince is to blame because he failed to fulfill his duty to the people of Verona.
