Letter to Capulets
I think Lord and Lady Capulet got what they deserve when Juliet “died”. Neither of them spent time with her so they didn't make a family bond so the family was distant. The nurse knew more things about Juliet than Lord or Lady Capulet. Lord Capulet also forced Juliet to marry Paris when she didn't want to and threatened her to do it or else he would disown her. Lines 160-164 “Hang Thee, young baggage! Disobedient wretch! I tell thee what. Get to thee church o' Thursday Or never look me in the face” He is yelling at her for not obeying her father to marry Paris and yells at her. This part also says that if she doesn't attend the marriage that she should never look at her again and that she will no longer be apart of the family. I also agree with Friar Laurence when he said that the heavens were punishing them for forcing Juliet to marry Paris. Lines 72-73 “And weep ye now, seeing she is advanced Above the clouds, as high as Heaven itself?” This is where Friar Laurence is making his speech and tells them about when people die and what happens to Juliet. He tells them they should feel bad for the way they treated her and was trying to cover himself up for marrying Juliet to Romeo. He gets away from re-marrying Juliet to another person knowing that Romeo is alive and they still have their secret

    Many blame Romeo and Juliet for the choices that they make. However can you blame someone for trying to find a way out when forced into a corner? The choices and actions of other characters in Romeo and Juliet forced Romeo and Juliet into the positions they are in. Into positions where they feel there is nowhere to go but up to heaven in death. The two perpetrators most responsible for this are Friar Laurence and Lord Capulet. If they could not be so irresponsible and unreasonable in their choices and actions, Romeo and Juliet would still be alive and their relationship…

    In Shakespeare’s love tragedy Romeo and Juliet, the Lord Capulet is one of the people to blame for the deaths of Romeo and Juliet.First, Lord Capulet was forcing Juliet to marry Count Paris.’’You still live under my roof!”“You’ll be in St.Peter’s church next Thursday,Even if I have to drag you there myself!’’ Says Lord Capulet (Act 3,Scene 5).This quote proves the character to blame because he is forcing Juliet to marry and go somewhere she doesn’t want to be.Lord Capulet also changed the date of the wedding. “The wedding is tomorrow’’, says Lady capulet. ‘’I’ll work everything out even if I have to stay up all night’’,says Lord Capulet. ‘’There’s plenty of time before…

    From Romeo and Juliet the characters all served big rules in this book because everyone even with a small rule has a big one. There is one big thing like should so and so be pardoned or punished. In my head I think Lord Capulet should be pardoned but the frier should be punished, I know that you could say that Lord Capulet was abusive but I will counter that by saying that abuse was common and only people who lived in the house would know not anyone outside of it.…

    Lord Capulet was responsible for Romeo and Juliet’s death because he was being really harsh on Juliet's choice on her future.Juliet's father told juliet that if she didn't marry paris she was going to be in big trouble.He mistreated her and said “Hang thee, young baggage! Disobedient wretch!I tell thee to a church Thursday or never after look me in the face” Had he not said that,it would've made Juliet not worry on what she will do and not ask Friar Lawrence for the sleeping potion and play dead.Lord Capulet also arranged the marriage between…

    Not only the Nurse and Friar Lawrence was at fault for the death of Romeo and Juliet but also Capulet. This is because of his actions towards Juliet and his character. His character changes from being a nice, polite and caring father whereas after the death of Tybalt, he becomes this angry typical type father. Not knowing how Juliet truly feels, he forces her to get married to Paris even though she didn’t want to. He made her feel pressurized and also made her feel scared of what was going to happen next. He made her feel trap like she doesn’t have a choice to weather to marry him or not. Therefore, he should also be blamed for the death of Romeo and Juliet.…

    In the play “Romeo and Juliet” written by William Shakespeare I blame the reason for their tragedy on Friar Laurence. In the play the Friar married Romeo and Juliet to each other and didn’t inform the Capulet's nor the Montague's. The Friar also tried to help Juliet by giving her a sleeping potion so she wouldn’t have to marry Paris. He also failed to deliver the letter to Romeo saying that Romeo didn’t die, but she was in fact sleeping. “I could not send it here it is again nor get a messenger to bring it thee so fearful were they of infection” (Shakespeare 470). Lastly the Friar had blamed the two lover's death of Romeo and Juliet when both the Capulet's and Montague's had heard of there passings.…

    First of all, the one that are responsible for their death is the Capulet. The first reason is Juliet’s mom doesn’t spend a lot of time with her and understand her. That is the most important thing that parents should do for their kids, but Juliet doesn’t have that. Most of her time, she spends with the nurse and relied on her. That make the distance between Juliet and her mom more farther. “ What say’st thou? Hast thou not a word of joy? Some comfort, nurse.” (Act 3, scene 5, pg 97). She tell the nurse to comfort her when she feel bad instead of her parents. The second reasons is the Capulet don’t listen to her and only do what they think are the best…

    Romeo and Juliet is a tragic story of two young lovers doomed from the beginning. In this tragic tale, the parents of the two teenagers are usually assumed to be the most at fault for what occurred within those few days. Many people believe that the kids were innocent victims in the whole situation, and none of those events would have occurred if the parents wouldn’t have been so idiotic and made such hasty decisions. These people most often can agree that the leaders of the Montague and Capulet families are the only ones left to punish in this situation. After all, they were the ones who put everyone in this situation. The parents do deserve a lot of blame, but they are not the only ones who deserve it, and the kids were not mere innocent…

The Nurse acts as Juliet’s mother figure, however, their relationship cannot fully substitute the biological connection between Lady Capulet, Lord Capulet, and Juliet.…
