    Were the tragic ends of Romeo and Juliet part of a love-fueled suicide, or a dastardly murder? In the play Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare, feuds between the families of these lovers separated them from each other to the point both deciding to reunite together in the heavens. I believe their untimely deaths didn’t have to occur if it weren’t for Benvolio, Mercutio and Romeo himself. One person I point the blame to for Romeo and Juliet’s deaths is Romeo’s cousin, Benvolio.…

    In the play Romeo and Juliet tragedy seems to occur around every corner. Although a lot of characters may have caused the tragedies but who’s really to blame for all the heartbreak. I believe the parents of Romeo and Juliet are to blame for all of the woe that takes place in the tale. Despite the parents not directly killing anyone, they encourage their kids to hate based off of last names.
