What Is The Cause Of Romeo And Juliet's Death
The True Death of Juliet and Her Romeo
“ Alike bewitched by the charm of looks”(act two Prologue) The Prologue clearly states the Romeo and Juliet were attracted to each other because of looks. A relationship based on looks never ends well; it's not true love. Many people will blame fate or destiny for the reason why Romeo and Juliet died, however, their background, their age, and their choices show how immature they are, and this is the true cause of their deaths.
Juliet was stressed and not thinking straight. Raised by her loving nurse, young Juliet never had a good relationship with her parents. In act 1 scene 3, Juliet's parents wanted to marry her off to an older lord of equal birth by the name of Paris. “ I’ll look to like if looking …show more content…

Benvolio went to Romeo and told him Juliet was dead. Romeo was exceedingly heartbroken and decided to kill himself. When Juliet woke up and found Romeo dead, she was so distraught she took his dagger and stabbed herself (act 5 scene 3). All this seems a bit premature. There were several different options, but they were too immature to see it.
The true reason for the tragic death of the ‘star crossed lovers’ was their background, their age, and the choices they made, all contributing to their immaturity. They were both too young for true love. Their background and influences led them to not thinking straight which lead to their rash decisions thus ending the tragic story of Juliet and her
