Decent Essays
Who is to blame for Romeo and Juliet's death? Some may say the Capulet's are to blame, others could say the montigues. Or both of them for tearing romeo and Juliet apart. However what if it is just Romeo and Juliet's fault? They both are responsible for their actions, romeo was not forced to bring the life ending poison to lips. Nor was Juliet forced to dive the dagger into her own heart. They each let love and emotions cloud their judgment, it ended with there lives. The other characters in the dramatic poem were not there at the time of Romeo and Juliet's death, so how could it be there faults?
