Romeo And Juliet Who's To Blame Analysis

I believe that the blame for the deaths of Romeo and Juliet falls on the feud between the Montagues and Capulets, as well as on Lord Capulet and Lord Montague. “Two households, both alike in dignity … From ancient grudge break to new mutiny …” The feud between the two families is first introduced in the first four three lines of the entire play, in the prologue.
