In your opinion, who is the most responsible for Romeo and Juliet's deaths?

Question

I am pretty sure Friar Laurence and the Nurse are the most, but I am looking for another fairly guilty person.

Answer 1

It was Romeo and Juliet's own faults. No one made them kill themselves, they acted out of pure stupidity and immaturity. Just because they didn't get their way, they killed themselves over it.

Answer 2

The friar. He bends rules to marry them and sets up Juliet's fake death. He also tells Romeo where to get the poison. His slip-up leads to Romeo not getting the message about Juliet's fake death which leads to Romeo taking the poison. His intestions were good, but what's that saying about the road to hell?

Answer 3

Well the best answer would be Romeo and Juliet, Romeo starts the play pining over a lost love, meets Juliet, married a few days later, then they decide they can't be alone. Sounds like raging hormones to me.

Answer 4

Romeo and Juliet themselves, though Romeo was more to blame. Romeo was impulsive, immature and unstable. Initially, he was depressed over being dumped by his first girlfriend, then, a few days later, she was forgotten and he had become passionately in love with Juliet. (Shows how little love truly meant to the guy) Less than a week had passed and he found her dead so he did himself in. (Over a girl he met a week earlier???) Had he shown a little restraint and common sense, they would both have lived. Juliet, showing similar instability and impulsiveness, awakened from her death-like state, and found Romeo dead, leading her to commit suicide. Both commit suicide, which places the majority of the blame squarely in their own hands.

Answer 5

The ones who actually drank the poison and stabbed them self. Romeo and Juliet of course. Of course other people contributed to the reasons they did what they did, but they are essentially responsible for their own deaths in my opinion. No one forced them to drink poison or use the dagger.

Answer 6

Romeo and Juliet themselves.

Their fathers, who let the feud continue.

Capulet...? Juliet's brother/cousin who makes life difficult.

Answer 7

Stephen King
