Two families, the Capulet's and the Montague's, have feuded for generations, and now the son of the Montague's and the daughter of the Capulet's have fallen in love with each other. Their love was hidden from their parents and so was the marriage. In the end this marriage did not last and resulted in tragic deaths for both Families.
This leads us to the question, who should be held responsible for the tragic death of Romeo and Juliet? There are many people who can be held responsible. The families can be held responsible; Tybalt or even Friar Laurence or maybe Romeo and Juliet have themselves to blame? All of these people are close to Romeo or Juliet and they may have tried to control them or maybe misguide them. Anyone of them can be blamed for the deaths of Romeo and Juliet. However then we can move onto the more imaterialistic things like fate. Without fate would the question "who should be held responsible for the tragic death of Romeo and Juliet" exist?.
The Capulet's and the Montague's have been sworn enemies with each other for generations, but little did they know that this hate against each other could result in the deaths of their children. Romeo and Juliet were from two different houses, which were enemies with each other; they fell in love but knew if they told their parents they would never see each other again. So they did the only thing they could do, go behind their parents backs. The two families can be held responsible for the deaths of Romeo and Juliet. Their constant feuding made them so frightened to tell their parents that they love one another that they went off behind their backs and married each other. They both knew that if their parents saw their love for one another a huge dilemma would follow. If the two families were not feuding, then Romeo and Juliet could be married and live happily ever after. .
Friar Laurence was a person who can definitely be held responsible for the death of Romeo and Juliet.
