There are a few people at blame for the tragic deaths of Romeo and Juliet. While people may argue that they are responsible for their own actions, their ignorance however hinders them from seeing that if certain people had of done the morally right thing they wouldn’t have gone to such drastic lengths to be together forever. Friar Lawrence was a petty man, that can’t be trusted; he only had his best interests at mind. Not to mention the families, so hell bent on making sure the rift lasts forever, fuelled by rage and intense hatred for each other.

They should have realised that hate would only lead to harm however it wasn’t until one of their own, the young Juliet, was driven to a painful death did they realise what they were doing was wrong. Even then. After everything, they couldn’t even bare to look at the Montagues, to try and fix everything, was losing their own daughter not enough to open their eyes to the hideous truth? If the Capulets and Montagues had of resolved whatever caused this pompous feud, both Romeo and Juliet would have live a happy
