Who's To Blame For The Deaths Of Romeo And Juliet

Improved Essays
True Love is not true if you just met someone. This is a play by William Shakespeare called Romeo and Juliet. This is a play about the deaths of the Romeo and Juliet because their families feud. The two fell in love when they met and secretly met with each other. Eventually they got married and her family wanted her to marry someone else. She couldn't be away from Romeo so she took a potion to make everyone think she was dead so they could be together. But because Romeo thought she was dead he killed himself and when Juliet woke up she saw Romeo dead so she killed herself. Romeo and Juliet put this on themselves. They didn't have to kill themselves so they can be together considering they have only known each other for five days. So their deaths …show more content…
My first reason they are to blame were because they didn't know each other to know each other well enough to love each other. You can't know you love someone because they have good looks they could be a total train wreck. Another reason why they are to blame is that they must have been suicidal considering they pulled knives out when Friar Laurence wouldn't help them out at first but he was forced into helping them and they hardly even hung out they were out with their family or friends more than 3 days. Beside they met someone one day and four days later they killed themselves because they thought they were dead. They were the only people to blame in my opinion because some people believe the two families caused these deaths because of the feud. The feud might have something to do with it but if there was no feud they would still have done something because let's say Romeo died somehow Juliet would have killed herself and the same thing if Juliet died. The points show exactly how it was their fault. Some of my final thoughts are that you can't blame anyone else but themselves. They put so much into being with each other to find out they weren't gonna spend the rest of their lives together. They drank the poison and stabbed themselves when nobody told them they had to so based on that it is their
