Romeo Is To Blame In Shakespeare's Romeo And Juliet

Improved Essays
Romeo is to blame for both his, and Juliet's death. One of the reasons it was Romeo’s fault was because he was too Impulsive with love throughout the play. Each time he approaches his relationship he is moving fast and being too hasty. In the beginning of the play, Romeo was in love with Rosaline and was upset and heartbroken because she did not love him back. Once he saw Juliet, he Immediately forgot about Rosaline and fell in love with Juliet at first sight. By these examples it can be concluded that it maybe because Romeo was too impulsive with love, he would do anything for Juliet even if it meant killing himself for her. Another reason I blame Romeo is because he is too impulsive with death. In the play Act 5 scene 3, When Juliet was …show more content…
Friar Lawrence has a large influence on Romeo and Juliet's death because he is ignorant and was not prepared for a bad outcome to the plan he made for them. When Friar Lawrence told Friar John about letter, he did not emphasize just how important the letter was. If he had told him how the letter could mean the difference between life or death for Romeo and Juliet, then the letter may have gotten to romeo in time. Throughout Romeo and Juliet's love for one another, Friar Lawrence only thinks making the Montagues and Capulets Friends. If he would have thought about the outcome of the plan for thoroughly Romeo and Juliet may still be alive. However Romeo is the most to blame for his and Juliet's death because Romeo Doesn't think before he acts and is too impulsive with Tybalt. When Tybalt kills Mercutio, Romeo fights and kills Tybalt out of anger for Tybalt and pity for Mercutio. Romeo Doesn't think about about the fact that the prince states in the beginning of the play “ if you ever disturb our streets again, your lives shall pay the forfeit of the peace ” ( I, i , 92-94). If Romeo would have waited and let the Prince handle the situation, Tybalt would still be dead and Romeo would have not been

    In the story Romeo and Juliet, Romeo is to blame for both his and Juliet’s death. Well the first reason is because he went to the Capulet Party and met Juliet the love of his life. If Romeo never met Juliet he would have still loved Rosaline therefore he wouldn’t have got in much trouble. Tybalt later notices that a Montague is at the Capulet Party and he quotes “This, by his voice, should be a Montague”.

    Were the tragic ends of Romeo and Juliet part of a love-fueled suicide, or a dastardly murder? In the play Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare, feuds between the families of these lovers separated them from each other to the point both deciding to reunite together in the heavens.

One person I point the blame to for Romeo and Juliet’s deaths is Romeo’s cousin, Benvolio.…
