The prologue in Romeo and Juliet tell us the fate of the couple, but the ending still hits hard and leaves readers wondering why. Romeo and Juliet is a tale of young love set in Verona, Italy written by William Shakespeare. The two meet, marry, and die shockingly quick. No one seems to be able to agree who to blame for their deaths. Some people believe it was fate, bad decisions, or the family feud. In the tragedy of Romeo and Juliet, the blame for the tragedy falls on the feud between the families, because the Capulet's were trying to force a marriage on Juliet, and the young couple's love was forbidden.
First, Juliet's parents really push her to marry Paris. For example, Lord Capulet tells Juliet she can't stay in his house unless she marries Paris (3. 5. 189-195). Juliet finds this troubling because she is already married to Romeo and it is against her beliefs to be divorced or married to more than one man at a time, and sh'es already married to Romeo. This is going to make Juliet to make a hasty decision. A decision that likely is not going to be very thought-out. We see this again when Lady Capulet tells Juliet to stop talking …show more content…
"Is she a Capulet? / O dear account! My life is my foe's debt"(1. 5. 116-117). We can see that because of the feud, Romeo thought it was the end of the world that his love was a Capulet. This also shows that there wouldn't have been any need for the secrecy without the feud. Without the the Capulet's wouldn't have pushed Paris on Juliet and no one would have died if the couple just felt comfortable enough to be honest about their relationship. Another example of this was when the families were talking at the end and they called Romeo and Juliet " Poor sacrifices of our enmity!"(5. 5. 304) In this quote, the young couple has just died, and their love was discovered. The parents agree that their children died (were sacrifices) because of the two families hatred for each
