Before Shakespeare’s writings many plays and stories written could only be understood by the one who wrote it or those in the same community. Shakespeare introduced about 1700 new words that everyone around the country could use and understand easily. One of Shakespeare's best writes, The Tragedy of Romeo and Juliet, is a tragedy about two star crossed lovers from two houses that highly despise one another. The two lovers do whatever they can to be together but it never seems to be enough, and in the end they decide the only way to be together forever is through death. I believe that Juliet is to blame for the tragedy of Romeo and Juliet.
The tragedy of Romeo and Juliet could have been easily preventable if Juliet simply would have married Paris. Lady Capulet says, “ What say you? Can you love the gentleman? This night you shall behold him at our feast. Read o'er the volume of young Paris' face And find delight writ there …show more content…

Juliet was very against marrying Paris though and she made sure to let her father know how she felt. He however replies to her emotions saying,¨Hang thee, young baggage! Disobedient wretch! I tell thee what: get thee to church o' Thursday, Or never after look me in the face. Speak not. Reply not. Do not answer me. My fingers itch.—Wife, we scarce thought us blest That God had lent us but this only child, But now I see this one is one too much And that we have a curse in having her. Out on her, hilding!¨(3:5:160-168). When Juliet's father told her that they will disown her and how much of a disappointment she was for the family, this was a perfect opportunity for her to escape to Mantua and be with Romeo safely. Even with the perfect opportunity though, Juliet decided to stay and take extreme measures to be with Romeo. If she really loved him I believe that she would have taken the opportunity to be with

    Juliet certainly should have known that the results would be disastrous had she married a hated Montague. Some may say that Juliet marrying Paris would have been a tragedy in itself, but surely it would have been far less severe than the loss of two lives!

    Throughout ‘Romeo and Juliet’ there is more than idealistic love shown, like the parental love from the Nurse to Juliet and the friendship Mercutio and Benvolio shared. This love had effects on everyone though because if Juliet and Romeo were known to be loved the feud between the houses may have been worsened and Juliet could've been left disowned if she had not married Paris. “But, as you will not wed, I’ll pardon you: - Graze where you will, you shall not house with me” (Act III: Sc. 5, lines 188-189).

    While Juliet is not as overzealous with love as Romeo is, his effect on her expresses a different side about herself even she did not know. Romeo’s influence on her takes a completely different direction in which she was raised. ‘O Romeo, Romeo! Wherefore are thou Romeo? Deny thy father and refuse thy name.’/ ‘or, if thou wilt not, be but sworn my love, and I’ll no longer be a Capulet’ – (Act 2, Scene 2 L. 33-36). Juliet grows up in a very patriarchal society and that means the father is the head of the house. What he says, go. When Capulet, Juliet’s father, hears of her refusing to marry Paris he retorts ‘How, will she none? Doth she not give us thanks?’/ ‘Is she not proud? Doth she not count her blessed,’/ ‘Unworthy as she is, that we have wrought’/ ‘So worthy a gentleman to be her bride?’ – (Act 3, Scene 5 L.142-145).
