Who's To Blame For The Death Of Romeo And Juliet?

Decent Essays
In The Tragedy of Romeo and Juliet, two young lovers meet, both from feuding families, both who will die at each others sides. All because of true love, or was it just lust? But who is to blame for the death of Romeo and Juliet? I believe that all the characters are to blame for some reason. Out of all the characters, though, there are three main ones that always come to mind. Those three characters are Friar Lawrence, Juliet, and the Capulets (Capulet and Lady Capulet). They all are to blame, but these characters are the ones who are most to blame. They could have done something, but did not.
