Who Is Responsible For Romeo And Juliet's Downfall

Romeo and Juliet Written by William Shakespeare, is one of the most well known love stories of all time. This story is mostly known for it’s tragic ending. Each character had a part to do in the demise of Romeo and Juliet. But there are two characters who are the most responsible for the this downfall. Those characters are,Tybalt and Romeo. There are several reasons why these two characters are the most responsible for the demise of Romeo and Juliet. Some reasons are because Tybalt started the fight that resulted in romeo being banished. In my opinion I believe Romeo is responsible because he acted violently when he killed Tybalt, paris, and himself, and because when he heard about Juliet's death he left mantua and acted impulsively. Tybalt had always been a character who has caused trouble throughout the story, he is the one who originally started the fight that led to banishment of Romeo, “Romeo the love I bear thee can afford No better term than this; thou art a villain.’’(III, I, 55-56).
“ This shall determine that. [They fight, Tybalt falls.]” (III, I, 124) If Romeo had not killed Tybalt then Tybalt would have eventually had to pay for the death of Mercutio and Romeo Would not have been banished, but Romeo acts violently he doesn't think thoroughly before he does things this is also seen when he killed Paris, “ O I am slain! [falls] If thou be merciful. Open the tomb, lay me with Juliet. [Dies].” (V, III, 72-73.) Romeo should not have killed Tybalt but he acted violently and did a mistake, he also made the mistake of killing himself, “ Here's to my love! [drinks] O true apothecary! Thy drugs are quick. Thus with a kiss I die. [falls].” (V, III, 199-120]. If Romeo did not drink the poison he would have seen Juliet wake up and eventually they would finally be together, but he was very compulsive, which led him to his own
