Romeo and Juliet is a tragedy about two star-crossed lovers. This tragedys end is so
sad because Romeo and Juliet both die at the end of this play because of a misunderstanding.
All the characters are responsible for Romeo and Juliet's death but the people that are most
responsible for this tragedy that happens to Romeo and Juliet are Lady Capulet, Lord Capulet,
Nurse, and Friar Lawrence. These people are responsible for Romeo and Juliets tragedy
because these people were close to Juliet.
Nurse and Friar Lawrence are most secretive individuals because Nurse is the one who
helps Juliet to meet and marry Romeo. She is secretive about Romeo and Juliets affair and
doesn't tell the Capulets and Montagues. So, she is the one from the people who are
responsible for Romeo and Juliet's death. Nurse is saying to Juliet, "O, she knew well Thy love
did read by rot, they could but come, young wavered, conre go not spell with me one respect I'll
assistance to be for this alliance may so happy prove to turn your household's rancour to pure
love". This evidence shows that Nurse knows that Juliet is going to marry Romeo. Nurse is so
happy because Juliet is going to get her love, but she should tell that to the Capulets and
Montagues. Friar Lawrence is also responsible for this because in act 2 scene 3, when Romeo
goes to the Friar Lawrence to tell him that he's no longer in love with Rosaline, but he fall in love
with Juliet. This amazes Friar Lawrence and he promises to marry them. He didn't even think
about their (Romeo and Juliet) families, he just give them solution that marry with each other
because he thought that if they marry each other, their family may unite. Friar Lawrence made a
major mistake that he could have avoided himself. He trusted Juliet, an unstable teenage girl,
with a fake-death poison. Friar said, "If... thou hast the strength of will to slay thyself... take thou
this vial... no warmth, no breath shall testify thou livest;" It's showing his irresponsibility and it
was so risky for Juliet. The faked death was fooled the Juliet's whole family.
I also blame Lord Capulet and Lady Capulet (Juliet's parents) because they are un-controlling
parents. They should pay attention and control that what Juliet was doing when she refuse to
marry Paris because there was a reason to not to marry Paris but they didn't do anything. In act
3 scene 5, they threatoned to throw her out onto the street. Capulet said to Juliet that "Thursday
is near lay hand on heart and you be mine, I will give you to my friend, and you to be not, hang,
beg, starve, die in street." This evidence shows that Capulet is saying to Juliet that you are
going marry with his friend and then you will not hang, beg, starve, die in streets. It means that
her parents thinks that she's just like a garbage. Her parents start think that if she's not going to
marry Paris, then we will throw her in the street.
Some people may suggest Juliet is to blame, however this is why she is not because Juliet is
not the mature person and she always does the things that other people her to do. She didn't
think about others that what her parents going to think or do about her when they will know her
and Romeo's affair. She was just 13 years old when she meet Romeo and then Romeo kissed
her. Romeo and Juliet "O, then, dear saint, let lips do what hands do! They pray; grant thou ,
lest faith turn to despair. Saints do not move, though grant for prayers's sake. Romeo, Thus
from my lips, by thine my sin is purged." Then Romeo kisses Juliet. This evidence shows that
Romeo is just like a stranger for Juliet and kiss him in first meeting and Juliet didn't say
anything. When Friar Lawernce promise to marry Romeo and Juliet, Juliet didn't think about it
that what she's going to do. She was mad in love and wanted to get romeo. So, she decided to
marry romeo.
In conclusion, Nurse, Friar Laurence, Lord Capulet and Lady Capulet are responsible for
Romeo and Juliet's death. They are responsible because Nurse and Friar Lawrence were
secretive from Juliet parents. Lady Capulet and Lord Capulet were not responsible parents,
because they didn't pay attention to Juliet.
