The Death of Romeo and Juliet
William Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet is considered to be one of the
greatest love tragedies of all time. Shakespeare, who is known to be a
successful playwright for his remarkable plays and beautiful poetry,
manages to create a classical play filled with strong emotions,
tension, action, violence, humor and most importantly, love. This play
is set in Verona when two “star crossed lovers” meet and fall in love
passionately. Most of the responsibility for the deaths of Romeo and
Juliet should be put upon their parents, themselves, and fate.
Romeo and Juliet’s parents should be hold responsible for their
children’s death. Throughout the whole play the Capulet's and the
Montague's have a distinct hatred for each other. This hatred only
causes Romeo and Juliet to lie to their parents about their love. When
Juliet finds out Romeo is a Montague, she is devastated. Even though
their families are enemies, this doesn’t stop them from getting
married. Friar Lawrence marries them believing this will end the feud
between the two families, “In one respect I'll thy assistant be: For
this alliance may so prove to turn your household's rancour to pure
love.” Juliet’s parents, mainly her father, force her to marry Paris
which she refuses reluctantly. This causes Juliet to search for a way
of not marrying Paris, due to the fact that she is already married to
Romeo and loves him deeply. She later on agrees to take a poison in
order to make everybody believe she’s dead. Unfortunately, Juliet
wakes up too late making Romeo assume she’s dead and causing him to
kill himself. Afterwards, Juliet commits suicide since her only love
is dead. If Romeo and Juliet’s parents had been more understanding,
they wouldn’t be dead.
Romeo and Juliet should be blamed for their own death. Romeo expresses
grief to Benvolio over the loss of his love Rosaline, “Griefs of mine
lie heavy in my breast”, and just hours later, he falls for Juliet and
so does she. This shows they were too impulsive in their relationship.

In the play The Tragedy of Romeo and Juliet, many people lead to the outcome of Romeo and Juliet’s deaths. The play is about a boy, Romeo, and a girl, Juliet, from two rival families that fall in love. The two families, the Montagues and Capulets, have been fighting for a long time and it affects the entire city of Verona, where they live.

Romeo and Juliet's Death as a Tragedy of Fate. It is very apparent in many of Shakespeare’s plays, including Romeo. and Juliet, that fate and destiny play a key role. This aspect could be seen as a main basis of Shakespeare’s acclaimed works, and is.
Firstly, the Capulets and Montagues are at odds with each other. Members of each house and servants break into a sword fight, clashing with each other. Sampson says "Draw, if you be men. Gregory, remember thy swashing blow." (Act 1, Scene 1, Line 60). The feuding between the two families motivates Sampson to challenge the Capulets. Another example of how the two houses despise each other is what Romeo and his friends have to do to get into the Capulet feast. So they will not be recognized, Romeo, Mercutio, and Benvolio wear comic masks to hide their faces. Mercutio says, "Give me a case to put my visage in" (Act 1, Scene 4, Line 29). They do not want to be recognized because of the hatred between the two houses. Also, Romeo and Juliet are not supposed to be in love: "My only love sprung from my only hate! / Too early seen unknown, and known too late! / Prodigious birth of love it is to me, / That I must love a loathed enemy." says Juliet (Act 1, Scene 5, Lines 137-140). They are not supposed to love each other because it just so happens that each of their houses despise each other. It is unfortunate for Romeo and Juliet that their two families are against each other, because this means that they are not supposed to be married.
In the play, "Romeo and Juliet," written by William Shakespeare, the two protagonists both lose their lives towards the conclusion of the play. Ironically, since their deaths ended their parents' strife that prevented them from openly loving each other, it created a world that would have allowed them to hold great amounts of affection towards one another because they would no longer need to hide it as it would have now been allowed. Although, since Romeo and Juliet are already dead, they cannot live in this world that they have created. This tragedy is the fault of their own parents. Although, some may blame Tybalt or Friar Lawrence for Romeo's and Juliet's death, I claim that the characters most at fault are the parents because they are the
An ancient grudge and parents too blinded by hatred to break it, bear the ultimate blame for the tragic death of Romeo and Juliet. Friar Laurence was just attempting to mend the rift between two households. Nurse desired to make Juliet happy. The parents were selfish and could not get over their enmity with each other, and their children suffered the repercussing consequences. Bombarded by the indecision of all, Romeo and Juliet were free-spirited, love-struck, and young. Sadly it was their deaths, not love or marriage that finally brought the two houses together and Verona peace.

Soon Romeo kills Juliet's cousin by accident, Juliet drinks a potion, some words get twisted and at the end both of the lovebirds end up dead.
