Romeo and Juliet’s Death in William Shakespeare's Play
All types of Elizabethan people would go to the theatre. The upper
class would sit in the galleries, while the poorer people would stand
on the ground around the stage. Some men would be allowed to sit on
the stage around the actors as they were performing. The audience

feast without knowing that he is a Montague.

and Romeo kills Tybalt to avenge his friend’s death.
The Nurse is responsible because she encouraged Juliet, by delivering
the couple’s messages and even helped arrange the secret wedding.
