Romeo and Juliet Essay
I don’t believe all the occurrences in this book are simple bad luck. More than three bad things in this story were not cause of just “bad luck”. These are my three reason’s as to why these weren’t bad occurrences.
One of the points I have to make is that Tybalt’s was not a case of bad luck. Tybalt’s death was caused by Tybalt being bind with rage which caused him not to listen to reason. Mercutio and Romeo tried to reason with Tybalt, but Tybalt wasn’t able to reason with his anger and calm down enough to see through his anger. Tybalt and Mercutio’s death was not a act of bad luck. If Mercutio stayed out of it and Tybalt’s temper wasn’t so bad than no one should have died.
The Banishment of Romeo was also not a

    The next reason why Tybalt is to blame for both of the deaths is because of what he says affects what happens to them. As Romeo enters the room Tybalt calls Romeo a villain meaning that he started throwing insults first and that Romeo is evil in his perspective. As they talk Tybalt says to Romeo “Therefore turn and draw” (3.1.63) which shows that Tybalt was first to say that he wanted to start a fight first, before Mercutio did. Even though some may believe that Mercutio is to blame for the deaths, most of the evidence points to tybalt because of his actions, feelings and what he says. Although Mercutio insults tybalt first by saying he is a rat catcher.…

    The first reason that Tybalt was the one to blame for the deaths was that, when Romeo and his friends went to the Capulet party, Tybalt saw him and thought it was a disgrace that he was there and when he told his uncle, he didn’t really mind that he was there and scorn Tybalt in which angered him more. “What, dares the slave come hither, covered with an antic face, to flee and scorn at our solemnity? Now, by the stock and honor of my kin, to strike him head I hold it not a sin.” I.V.55-57.…

    Though it may seem that it was Romeo’s fault, it was Mercutio’s fault, because it was he who openly insulted Tybalt and made him draw his sword. If Mercutio didn’t provoke Tybalt, they wouldn’t have fought. Romeo had no intention to fight and actually tried to flee the area, but after Mercutio’s death, Romeo had a reason to fight and this resulted in Tybalt’s death. These two deaths both would’ve been prevented if Mercutio didn’t provoke and taunt Tybalt. Mercutio is to blame because he was the one who initiated the fighting and started the long chain of…

    However, you can not ignore the fact that the poor outcomes were direct results of poor decisions; through poor communication and bad ideas, from both Romeo and Juliet, along with Pyramus and Thisbe. The struggles that the characters faced were no ones fault but their own. “Evermore weeping for your cousin’s death,” (Shakespeare, 441). Lady Capulet says this because it is her belief that Juliet is crying for the reason of Tybalt’s death, but in reality her tears are for her love, Romeo. She was dishonest and lied to her parents about what was happening in her life.…

    However Romeo is the most to blame for his and Juliet's death because Romeo Doesn't think before he acts and is too impulsive with Tybalt. When Tybalt kills Mercutio, Romeo fights and kills Tybalt out of anger for Tybalt and pity for Mercutio. Romeo Doesn't think about about the fact that the prince states in the beginning of the play “ if you ever disturb our streets again, your lives shall pay the forfeit of the peace ” ( I, i , 92-94). If Romeo would have waited and let the Prince handle the situation, Tybalt would still be dead and Romeo would have not been…

Indeed, anybody could tell you that the play "Romeo and Juliet" is a tragedy. Although, Lord Capulet, Juliet's father, makes awfully comical jokes during the masquerade in Act 1.…

    This pushes Romeo to react emotionally instead of logically. In the heat of the moment, he begins fighting Tybalt and kills him.
