Essay Who Was Responsible For Romeo And Juliet's Death

Improved Essays
The first reason of Romeo and Juliet’s death was Friar John not sending the letter. The main reason he said he couldn’t send the letter was because he got stuck in a quarantine. I think this could have been prevented because he could have sent the letter right when he got the letter. But, he decided to wait to send it and got stuck in quarantine. Romeo didn’t know the plan because of this and if he had received the letter. Romeo would have know the plan and then he wouldn’t have thought that Juliet was dead when he got there causing him to commit suicide. Romeo would have arrived and waited for Juliet to awake, and then there wouldn’t have been a huge fight and killing spree, and the parents wouldn’t have arrived. Them dying may have ended the feud, but if she awoke it might have kept the feud going unless they were going to trick the parents that Romeo revived her from the dead. If they didn’t fall for that the family feud may have still continued, and they wouldn’t be allowed to see each other.
Another reason for their deaths is Romeo and Juliet not telling their parents. Romeo and Juliet wanted to keep it a secret from their parents because they felt that if they told their parents they wouldn’t be allowed to see each other because their parents would get mad at them for

The first example about fate is when Romeo has his dream about dying early. This is foreshadowing that he is going to die early in his life. This also shows how fate has him dying early in his life, as Romeo believes in his dreams, while Mercutio tells him that they are lies, and later in the book it shows what Romeo thinks that they come true. The second example is the family feud. Romeo and Juliet were born not to fall in love with each other. They were born into to feuding families that try to kill each other. This shows how fate is against them being in love and how they aren’t supposed to be in love with each

    1.) In the play Romeo and Juliet, the role of fate is stupendous, as it is implied in several of the situations throughout the play. It all begins with Romeo spotting Juliet, then falling head over heels at first sight, and due to the fact that their relationship was simply forbidden, it was bound to end one way or another in a black and white sort of manner. This is when things all begin to fall apart. Juliet's “death” is a fake, and Romeo discovers her, actually believing that she has truly passed away, and then he commits suicide.…

    Friar Laurence should not have sent the letter because it wouldn't get to Romeo in time and should have waited at the tomb for Romeo to come and see Juliet. Friar Laurence can also be blamed because towards the beginning of the play he married Juliet and Romeo in secret. They were not supposed to be married because they are from different families and this would allow them to not live together peacefully. If Friar Laurence did not marry them they would not be able to be together which would save them from their deaths. Friar Laurence says to Juliet to fake her death, “Hold, then; go home, be merry, give consent To marry Paris: Wednesday is to-morrow: To-morrow night look that thou lie alone; Let not thy nurse lie with thee in thy chamber:…
