Romeo And Juliet Death Analysis
Good morning, members of the jury, and your honour.
Today an important verdict will be passed that will bring justice to Juliet, and help her soul rest in peace. Over the years there has been an ongoing feud between both the Capulets and the Montagues, which has not softened over time, but has only grown generation by generation. Both houses have never benefited from this feud, but have only lost their loved ones, their only heirs. Here, we are of course talking about both Romeo Montague and Juliet Capulet.

Therefore, when Paris asks Juliet’s hand in marriage, Juliet dare not reveal to her family that she has married one of their enemies. Thus, to avoid marrying County Paris she was forced to go to Friar Lawrence to find a solution, which ultimately lead her to her inevitable death. If it weren’t for the feud between the two families, numerous lives could’ve been spared, including dear
