Romeo And Juliet Dying

Decent Essays
I think that no one was the reason for Romeo and Juliet dying, it was their own choice, because, they wanted to be together so much that they would do anything to be with each other. So they made their own choice to die, no one really caused them to die other than themselves. Some stuff was done to prevent them from seeing each other, but they still found a way, so even though it would be hard, they still could've made it work. But it does show how much Romeo and Juliet care about each other. They were both willing to die to be with the other. That shows true love, But if Romeo didn't think that Juliet died then he wouldn't have killed himself at that moment; Most likely. Although Romeo still made the choice of killing himself, when he should've

    Most of the characters in this play die as a result of Romeo and Juliet’s love. From Paris to Mercutio, to Romeo and Juliet themselves, they all die as a result of Romeo and Juliet’s relationship. None of these deaths would have happened if Romeo and Juliet had not been so “in love”. Most of these deaths were accidents and/or not “directly” related to their relationship, but if you tear back the layers, you can clearly see that these deaths were caused by Romeo and Juliet’s relationship. Take Mercutio’s death for example.…

    However, in order to help Juliet through her "grief" over Tybalt's death, Capulet decides to marry her off to Paris (III, iv). Of course this is a problem as she is secretly married to Romeo at this time. In III, v, Lady Capulet states, "I'll send one in Mantua, where that same banished runagate doth live, that he shall soon keep Tybalt company…" (ll94-96). This statement prophesizes Romeo's death later in the final scene of the play. Then, Lady Capulet wishes her daughter to be married to her grave (ll. 145), which is ironic, as Juliet will take a potion causing her to appear dead in IV, ii. That same evening, the lovers consummate their marriage, and in the morning, Juliet makes yet another prophesy, "O God, I have an ill-divining soul!…

    A destiny of love doomed to never see light because of their family is something hard to live with, and they did live with it until Juliet's father killed them. Juliet's father, Lord Capulet killed Romeo and Juliet, when he changed his mind once from thinking she's too young to if you can woo her you can keep her, then again when he forced Juliet to say yes to marrying Paris when she was already married, and then he finally pushed Romeo and her to their deaths when he threatened to disown her, causing her to lose loyalty.
