why did romeo and juliet die?

Answer 1

There are many factors influencing the death of Romeo & Juliet but it really up to your own opinion.

Youth- some say that their young age caused them to think and act irrationally. They didn't think through their actions and put their hearts before their minds.

Oppressing families- The Montagues and Capulets had such friction between them it was almost impossible for a relationship to exist. They were going against a driving force that was bound to separate them in the end.

Fate- Some say that fate caused their death. Maybe it was fate that brought them together and fate that drove them apart.

Love- the nature of love involves passion and hurt. They had already had a relationship filled with passion, it was enevitable that their relationship would experience some hurt. Love also causes us to feel extreme emotions. Therefore when they felt happy they made extreme decisions such as getting married. When they felt angry they did extreme things like Romeo killing Tibalt.

Poor decisions- Romeo and Juliet made many poor desicions in their relationship. Did they get married too quickly? Was Juliet's poison plan well thought out? Was Romeo being headstrong when he rushed out to avenge Mercutio?

Outside factors- The preist, their friends and their family. Do you think that their relationship was foiled by outside factors or was it their own fault that it failed?

There are many resources you can use to answer this question. Read the text carefully and anylse the different factors if you're writing an essay then be sure to choose which factor you think was the most influentual to conclude your essay.

Good luck and God bless. x
