Romeo and Juliet find love in just the right place at just the right time in order for fate to work it’s course. Or was it fate? Was it just pure lust and teen angst? Or were they at the wrong place at the wrong time? What was the cause of death of the two star crossed lovers? I can tell you exactly what causes these two tragic and untimely deaths.

Had he just waited or CHECKED her pulse. He would be alive. She would be alive. If Romeo had just kept his cool when Mercutio was slain he would not have been banned from Verona. Which would have kept him from leaving Juliet. Which in turn would have kept them both alive. Then if he had just checked her pulse instead of just assuming she is dead would have kept him from killing himself and Juliet killing herself. Then he didn’t have to marry Juliet, which would have prevented the whole rushed and stressed feeling I’m sure he
