These are the reasons that i think are to blame for the death of Romeo and Juliet. Reason one is a love that would kill them.…
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.…

Drunk all, and left no friendly drop To help me after? I will kiss thy lips. ”Haply some poison yet doth hang on them. [she kisses him]” If Romeo didn’t kill himself by drinking poison, then Juliet would not have kissed him and got poisoned just to be with him.

The final cause of Romeo and Juliet’s deaths is due to their original decision to marry. When the two first met, they were madly in love. However, as teenagers, they chose to marry as soon as possible, which was the next day, and did it behind their parents’ back without permission. They were able to marry, however, only because Friar Lawrence believed this would solve the fighting between the two families. Juliet was a Capulet, and Romeo was a Montague.…
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!…

If Lord Capulet truly loved his daughter so much, then why would he push her to her…
