Everyone Loves Romeo
The story of Romeo and Juliet ends in quite a tragic way, and there are multiple things that go wrong, making it end the way that it does. There is definitely one person to blame for this horrific “love” story. “O Romeo, Romeo…” why did you ruin the love story you idiot! Romeo is to blame for all of the fighting, death, and haste in this play.
When Romeo fights with Tybalt he causes many problems. Not only does Romeo fight but he causes people to fight. “Now, Tybalt, take the villain back again, / That late thou gavest me; for Mercutio's soul / Is but a little way above our heads, / Staying for thine to keep him company: / Either thou, or I, or both, must go with him.” (This is when he really screws up, he says how Tybalt has killed Mercutio so they must fight now. Tybalt dies due to Romeo and this causes so many problems, and so many deaths. “Wilt thou provoke me? then have at thee, boy!” In this he starts a fight with Paris over Juliet even though she is “dead”, but they both still strive for her heart. Little does Paris know he is fighting an already lost battle and will be slain by Romeo, more deaths. …show more content…

He is killing people, people are killing themselves, and others are killing each other. “I'll bury thee in a triumphant grave; / A grave? O no! a lantern, slaughter'd youth, / For here lies Juliet, and her beauty makes / This vault a feasting presence full of light. / Death, lie thou there, by a dead man interr'd.” This is Romeo speaking of Juliet’s “death” and how he too will be a dead man soon. He loved her and wanted to be with her and only her. “This is thy sheath; / Stabs herself / there rust, and let me die.” Juliet awakens to see Romeo dead at his own hand and she knows it is her fault. What does she do you ask? The dumb girl kills herself, a second time might I add. All of this is because they just couldn’t wait to grow

    ...se he believes Juliet to dead, drinks poison to take his own life as a last resort. What Romeo is unaware of is that Juliet is very much alive, so it is very ironic when he says, “Death, that has sucked the honey of thy breath,/ Hath had no power yet upon thy beauty:/ Thou art not conquered; beauty’s ensign yet/ Is crimson in thy lips and in thy cheeks,/ And death’s pale flag is not advanced there” (V iii 101-105). This is fate in the works in the play. When Juliet sees that her love has not rescued her and rather is dead, she kills herself with a dagger found in the proximity. “O happy dagger/ This is thy sheath; there rust and let me die” (V iii 182-183).

His mental instability leads him to think Paris is in the way obtaining true happiness, thus he slays him. Romeo acquires poison, stands beside Juliet, and states, “Here’s to my love! (Drinks.) O true apothecary! Thy drugs are quick. Thus with a kiss I die.” (Lines 119-120 of Act Five, Scene Three). Romeo observes Juliet’s body and determines that he should die beside her.
