Is Romeo To Blame For Romeo And Juliet's Death?

Improved Essays
In the story Romeo and Juliet, Romeo is to blame for both his and Juliet’s death. Well the first reason is because he went to the Capulet Party and met Juliet the love of his life. If Romeo never met Juliet he would have still loved Rosaline therefore he wouldn’t have got in much trouble. Tybalt later notices that a Montague is at the Capulet Party and he quotes “This, by his voice, should be a Montague”. Tybalt quoted that because he knows that a Montague is lurking somewhere at the party and he’s going to want to find out who it is himself. He figures out whose their and he sees that it’s Romeo and he gets very furious about it. The second reason is that Romeo killed Tybalt because Tybalt and his men kill Mercutio and Romeo was very angry
