It is a well-known fact that death and taxes are the only thing you can count on in this more "civilized" period of time. Taxes are an interesting field of study, but have little to do with Romeo and Juliet. In the Shakespearean play, Romeo and Juliet, both Romeo and Juliet die in the end. Romeo dies from drinking a poison, which he drank because he thought that Juliet was dead. Juliet then died from stabbing herself with a dagger, when she awoke to find Romeo diseased beside her. While Romeo, Juliet, and their crazy love can take most of the blame for this chain of events, there are other characters in the play that are also largely to blame. The Friar, Juliet's nurse, and Mr. Capulet can be partly blamed for the deaths of Romeo and Juliet because of the many ways they affected the lives and ways of thinking of both Romeo and Juliet.
The Nurse caused the deaths by her changing and unfaithful views on what Juliet should do about marriage with Romeo and then Count Paris. "Then hie you hence to Friar Lawrence's cell There stags a husband to make you a wife." (Shakespeare II. vi. 73-74). This quote shows that the nurse arranged the marriage of Romeo and Juliet. By arranging this wedding the Nurse created a situation where the families don't know of a marriage, and this is very dangerous when there is a feud going on. If the Nurse would have told anyone about this marriage, it could have saved the lives of Romeo and Juliet. "No faith, no honesty in men" (Shakespeare III. ii. 93). The Nurse says this after she hears that Romeo killed Tybalt. This shows how little liking the Nurse has for Romeo. The Nurse being the one that helped Romeo and Juliet get married should have had a little bit more faith in Romeo, because she should have felt that he was a good man, it she left Juliet marry him. By her quick change in mind about Romeo, it shows that she let Juliet get married without really caring to whom, so she caused Juliet, now, a troubled marriage.
