So honestly they desevered to die. Any how, here is the evidense stacked up against Romeo. This qoute presented by romeo later in the play kinda tells why they are screwed. During this qoute Romeo has just murdered Tybalt, Juliets cousin, and is freaking out after he finds out he is banished. “As if that name/ Shot from the deadly level of a gun/ Did murder her; As that names cursed hand/ murdered her kinsman. O, tell me, friar, tell me/ In what vile part of this anatomy/ Doth my name lodge? Tell me, that I may sack/ The hateful mansion.” (3.3.103-109).

The family feud. The reason they had to get married in private. The reason that they had to hide there insanely rushed and unthought about love. The reason that they would both eventually die. This is the reason that everything went to crap. The prologue from the begining of The Tragedy of Romeo and Juliet tells it as it is. We have just opened up and a chorus of shady looking people say in a monotone and unonomos voice. “From anciet grudge breaks to new mutainy/ Where civil bloood makes civil hands unclean/.../ Doth with there death bury there parents strife/ The fearful passege of there death-marked love/ And the continuance of there parents reage/ which, but, therw childrens end could nought remove/ Is now the two hours traffic of our stage.” (1.prologue.3-12). It says right there in that quote the very reason it all started. The fued between the two families is the very reason they died. It is the bigges culprit, but we cant bring it to justice because it died with Romeo and Juliet. Undeniably, The fued between the two families is the actually the reason they all
