The prologue in Romeo and Juliet tell us the fate of the couple, but the ending still hits hard and leaves readers wondering why.

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…
that his love for Juliet gave him wings, which allowed him to work up enough bravery to talk to her. If he did not love her that way he did, he would not have been brave enough to speak to her. Romeo stated, “Here’s to my love! [Drinks.] O true apothecary!/ Thy drugs are quick. Thus with a kiss I die/. (V.ii.)

Romeo says “ Here's to my love! [drinks] O true apothecary! Thy drugs are quick. This with a kiss I die.” (Act 5, Scene 3, Lines 119-120.) Juliet grabs Romeo’s dagger “This is thy sheath; there rust, and let me die. [She stabs herself and falls].” (Act 5, Scene 3, Line 170.) Romeo sees Juliet in her grave…
In my opinion I think Friar Lawrence is responsible for their deaths. In Act II , scene 6 Romeo and Juliet are getting married. Friar Lawrence agreed to let Romeo and Juliet get married.

He knew that them getting married was wrong, but he…

The woman playing Juliet cries out to her Romeo, “My only love is my only hate”, (act 1. scene 5. 138). This play is all about the mix of love and hate. However, many argue that one is stronger. Love is stronger than hate because love is more passionate, love is wanted, and love produces peace and happiness.…
actually dead, ultimately causing both of them to take their own lives. Another mistake that Romeo makes is after Juliet takes the potion. Romeo doesn’t go to see the Friar to be informed about what really happened to Juliet. Instead, he goes to the apothecary to purchase a poison that will kill him “As violently as hasty powder fired doth hurry from the fatal cannon’s womb.”(5.1.66-67). Romeo should have assumed…
