Once in our lifetimes we all go through a tragedy, but who is responsible? In Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare, several characters are responsible for the deaths in the play. The characters; the Capulets, Friar Laurence, and Tybalt are the ones most responsible. The Capulets are one of the responsible ones for the death of Romeo and Juliet because they weren’t supportive, they were uncaring, and impatient. When Juliet told her parents that she did not want to marry Paris, the Capulets wanted to disown her. “Hang thee, young baggage! Hang thee, young baggage! Disobedient wretch! I tell thee what: get thee to church o ' Thursday, Or never after look me in the face. Speak not. Reply not. Do not answer me. My fingers itch.—Wife, we scarce thought us blest. That God had lent us but this only child, But now I see this one is one too much And that we have a curse in having her. Out on her, hilding!” (3:5:170). Capulet was being unsupportive of his own daughters decision. If he did not force her to marry Paris, then Juliet would not have to come up with a way to get out of the marriage. Lady Capulet does not support her own daughter either. “Talk not to me, for I’ll not speak a word. Do as thou wilt, for I have done with thee.” (3.5.215) Lady Capulet stopped caring about what her daughter wanted. If she had listened to Juliet, hen Juliet would have not planned a way out of the wedding. Lady Capulet did not take Juliets feeling into consideration and forced her to finding a
Capulet does not give her daughter any free will to make her own decisions. Therefore, it led to Juliet wanting to fake her own death and then eventually lead to the end to both Romeo and Juliet's lives. This is the reason why Capulet can be to blame for the death of the two lovers.
Everyone has their different opinions on who is to blame for the deaths of Romeo and Juliet. Romeo and Juliet is about two people that fall in love from two different families who are in a feud with each other. Lord Capulet is to blame for the deaths of Romeo and Juliet because when Romeo was at the Capulet part he didn’t let Tybalt do anything to make Romeo leave. Reason two is he is the one that planned for Juliet to get married to Paris without her consent. The third reason is because after Juliet says okay to marrying Paris (going along with the Friar’s plan), Lord Capulet tries moving the wedding day up to Wednesday instead of Thursday.
SAMPSON A dog of that house shall move me to stand. I will take the wall of any man or maid of Montague’s.
First of all, The Capulets and Montagues are most to blame for the deaths of Romeo and Juliet. They would not let Romeo and Juliet be together because their families were involved in a feud. Lord Capulet is further to blame because he tried to force a marriage between Juliet and Paris. During Act III scene IV, Juliet discovers the death of her dear cousin, Tybalt, and the banishment of her dear Romeo.
There are three characters in the story of Romeo and Juliet that take some and most of the blame on the death of the two Romeo and Juliet. Two of the characters take some of the blame while the third character takes all of the blame. The two characters that take some of the blame are Lady Capulet And Lord Capulet. Lady Capulet is married to Lord Capulet and have a daughter named Juliet. The third person that takes most of the blame for their death is not a person at all. It is fate. These three characters are the reason why Romeo and Juliet take their lives. ("DBQ: Romeo and Juliet: Who's to Blame". Doc.B,A,D)
Young lovers defy their families’ long-established vendetta and jeopardize all they have to continue their relationship. The violent commotion between the two lovers, Romeo and Juliet, finally bring peace to their feuding families, with their own death. Like with many suicide cases, there are challenges and decisions being made that lead up to this decision. Often times, we question who contributed to the suicide. Regardless, others argue that Romeo and Juliet should be held accountable for their ultimate decision. Then again, there is no definite reason to assign fault to Romeo and Juliet. Not only are their brains not fully developed, but pressures from outside forces caused such stress within the relationship.
Juliet’s parents are partly to blame for the deaths of Romeo and their daughter. Lady Capulet seemed to be an extremely strict and pushy mother. “Do as thou wilt, for I have done with thee.” She and her husband should have paid more attention to Juliet’s wishes and should not have been so
Love is like a flame, it provides you with warmth, but too much of it can also burn you. Such is the plot of the play, Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare. It is a tragedy about two lovers, Romeo and Juliet, who unfortunately, belong to families who bear an ancient grudge against each other. In the play, Romeo and Juliet fall in love and quickly decide to marry each other. At the end, Romeo and Juliet’s decisions cause their untimely death, but in reality, there were other people who also contributed to the lover’s death. Friar Laurence, the Nurse and Lord Capulet are responsible for the tragic deaths of Romeo and Juliet.
At first, Lord Capulet wants Juliet to decide if she wants Paris. Then later, Capulet wants cheer Juliet up, after her cousin Tybalt dies. He decides to arrange a marriage between her and Paris. Juliet is actually more upset over her husband, Romeo, for being banished. Later, Lady Capulet breaks the news to Juliet about her marriage to Paris and Juliet is very unhappy. Lady Capulet tells Lord Capulet about her reaction and he gets very angry. Capulet gets into a big argument with Juliet. He threatens Juliet that she will marry Paris or die on the streets ( Act III, Scene V, Lines 160 - 195). Juliet’s parents and even her servant, who helped marry Romeo, really want her to marry Paris. Juliet, becoming desperate to stop her marriage, goes to Friar Lawrence and they make up a risky plan. This plan ultimately leads to her and Romeo’s
Lord capulet, who was juliet’s father was very unsupporting.After the death of Tybalt lord Capulet thought something happy should occur in this family. Lord Capulet and his wife, Lady Capulet, promised Paris Juliet’s hand in marriage. Lord Capulet wanted to disown on Juliet when she had told that she had no intention in marrying Paris. For example, “Hang thee...hilding!”. (3.5, 180-189). Lord Capulet was being very unsupportive of his daughter's desires. If he had not forced Juliet to marry Paris, then Juliet would not have had to find a way out of the marriage. In the end when Romeo and Juliet are found dead, Lady MOntague is also dead, because of her son Romeo. Lord Capulet could have prevented the death of Romeo, Juliet and Lady
Both the Montagues and the Capulets can be blamed for the deaths of their children. From the quote in the story “from forth the fatal loins of these two foes”(Doc A) shows that they could be blamed because Romeo and Juliet were born into families that were feuding with each other for generations. Also Lady Capulet is pressuring Juliet to marry Paris and the quote that supports this is “Well think of marriage now”(Doc B). Capulet is to blame because he knows that Juliet doesn’t want to marry Paris but he tells her “or never look me in the face” telling Juliet he will disown her (Doc D). The feud between the Capulets and Montagues is clearly linked to Romeo’s and Juliet’s death through language in the Prologue, and the Capulets are particularly to blame for forcing their daughter to marry someone she doesn’t love.
Lord capulet and Lord Montague are the most to blame for the events that occur in Romeo and Juliet because they started this family feud. In the play the text never describes what started this feud between the two families, but Lord Capulet and Lord Montague, if they did not start it, they certainly did not try to end it which is where the problem comes in. They blame the other family for most their own problems. In the play Paris says “By thee old capulet, and montague, have thrice disturbed the quiet of our streets.”(Rom.1.1.88-89) Paris was telling the two family heads that they have caused enough disturbance already before, and that no one needs their
In Romeo and Juliet, love is depicted in several ways. Both Luhrman and Shakespeare represent love in different ways in different contexts to both the Elizabethan era and the contemporary audience. Both the original and later manifestations of the text are valued because they both communicate to the audience on the values of love and society by employing a variety of devices.
Last, I am convinced that Lord Capulet is responsible for Romeo's death because he is a Montuage. I know that the Montuages and Caplets don't get along well. Romeo knew they were enemies, but he thought maybe this would end the feud between them. Others may believe nothing will end the feud. I personally believe Lord Capulet didn't want that. He seemed like Juliet and himself were perfectly fine without Romeo in their life.
William Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet is centered around the tragic story of two “star-cross’d lovers”. A tragedy is a dramatic story that chronicles the downfall or death of a tragic hero. Tragedies usually depict the causes of a tragic hero’s downfall, which are most commonly a tragic choice or a tragic flaw. There is often some sort of greater power at play in tragedies, like fate. A key aspect of tragedies is both fate and free will leading to the downfall of a tragic hero. In William Shakespeare’s The Tragedy of Romeo and Juliet, Romeo and Juliet’s immaturity, the feud between the houses Capulet and Montague, and fate cause the deaths of the two young lovers.
