Friar Is To Blame For Romeo And Juliet's Death

Some may believe that fate and destiny was the cause of Romeo and Juliet’s death. Others may argue that the cause of their deaths were from the actions of the characters in the book.

In the end no one deserved to witness this tragedy whether it was fate or
