The novel Romeo and Juliet that is written by William Shakespeare is classified as a romantic tragedy. This novel is about two young lovers that meet at a masquerade held by Juliet’s parents. During this masquerade, Romeo was heartbroken about his old lover Rosaline who had dumped him earlier that day. He was upset and depressed until he saw a beautiful young lady, which happened to be Juliet. They fell in love at first sight and died for each other near the end of the novel. The character who would be most at fault for the death of Romeo and Juliet would have to be Friar Lawrence. This is because he is the one who married them off, kept their marriage as a secret from their parents, and gave Juliet the idea of drinking the fake poison.
