Who was to blame for Romeo and Juliet’s tragic death?
The tragedy of Romeo and Juliet , written by William Shakespeare in the late 16th century is about how two young people from conflicting families meet and fall in love. Romeo and Juliet is one of Shakespeares well known plays. In Romeo and Juliet Shakespeare in the prologue stats that they will both die A pair of star-crossed lovers take their life this shows that Romeo and Juliet will die in the end. Shakespeare does this to take the tension off if they would die or not onto the message in which William Shakespeare would like to put across about how all the fight against the opposing families are ended by the deaths of their children, Romeo and Juliet. In Romeo and Juliet there are several characters that play a part in Romeo and Juliets death, some of the characters were more responsible then others. In this essay I will be analysing 4 different characters, Tybalt followed by Fair Lawrence, Nurse, and Romeo, for who could be to blame for their tragic death.
To begin with Tybalt is Juliet’s cousin, the nephew of lord and lady Capulet. He’s Juliet’s favourite cousin. He is a very violent character in this play. In my opinion Tybalt is partly to blame for their death, as he’s mainly the one always looking for a fight with the Montague’s. At the begging of the play he starts a fight with Benvolio for no reason. This already gives us the expression that there is more feud to come, as Tybalt has already given us the appearance how evil and aggressive he is towards the Montague’s.
“What drawn, and talk of peace? I hate the word as I hate hell, all Montague’s, and thee-have at the coward” -act 1 sc 1 ln 68-6
