    Ultimately, I think Romeo and Juliet are to blame for their deaths. Yes, the long-lasting family feud could be blamed. Yes, Friar Laurence could be blamed for planning something of such high risk. Yes, Lord Capulet could be blamed for arranging Paris and Juliet to be married. Under all these circumstances, though, Romeo and Juliet could have made different decisions that wouldn’t have led to death. For instance, they could have chosen to take their time getting married, instead of rushing into it. Friar Laurence foreshadowed this point in act two, scene six. “These violent delights have violent endings...Too swift arrives as tardy as too slow.” Also, if Romeo hadn’t let his anger get the best of him after Mercutio died, he wouldn’t have been…

With the help of Friar Lawrence, who hopes to reconcile the families, they are secretly married the next day.

Mercutio is offended by the way Tybalt treats them and accepts the fight on Romeo’s behalf. Mercutio ends up getting killed. Romeo loses his self control and kills Tybalt in return, which leads to his exile by the Prince. He threatens to execute Romeo if he returns. Juliet is distressed. The Capulets misinterpret it, and threaten to disown her if she does not marry Paris. Friar Lawrence gives Juliet a potion that will put her in a death like state.

    However, in spite of the many differences, there are similarities between the two stories. Romeo and Juliet and “Teen Couple Executed by their Parents…for daring to fall in love,” both involve the deaths of the couples all happening at a young age, all of them dying before the age of 19 before any of their parents died. Throughout both stories a common factor is that the couples were forced to make adult decisions about their lives and love lives; while, the adults around them were making many poor decisions. Unlike many love stories where the strong, handsome male saves the damsel in distress, the female protagonists in both of these stories appeared to be stronger than their male counterparts. Maybe that is why when the time came, both mothers…

    So instead of asking the Friar who is a trusted friend what happened he goes and buys poison. The poison only works if put in food; Romeo says, “Farewell, buy food and get in flesh” (Act 5, Scene 1, Line 88). Romeo lays himself next to Juliet and dies from the poison but Juliet is only asleep. When Juliet awakes she stabs herself with Romeo's dagger only to see Romeo dead.

    I believe the people in Romeo and Juliet’s lives helped cause their death. One person who helps cause their death was Tybalt. I think he helped cause their death because if he would have stopped trying to fight Romeo, then Romeo wouldn’t have killed him. If Romeo wouldn’t of killed him, then Juliet’s parents wouldn’t of rushed her into marrying Paris, then she wouldn’t of came to Romeo’s father talking about killing herself. Friar Laurence also helped with their deaths because he is the one who gave Juliet the sleeping potion, which made Romeo think he was dead.These are the people I think helped cause Romeo and Juliet’s…

    Romeo and Juliet is a play written by William Shakespeare. In Act 4 Scene 5, the conflict of Juliet’s fake death promotes a theme of struggle with loss.

The sadness comes from the discovery of Juliet’s death, and she is shocked because of how young Juliet died. The emotions of sadness and shock illustrate the theme of the struggle with loss, because the death of Juliet results with the nurse’s sadness over her lost, loved one. Lady Capulet discovered…
