who can be considered the villian in romeo and juliet?

Answer 1

love

Answer 2

There isn't particularly a "villian" in Romeo and Juliet. There are antagonists and there are obstacles, but no one who really fits the archetypal villian mold.

The antagonists are generally singled out as Lord and Lady Capulet, Lord Montague, and Tybalt. The Lords and Lady Montague and Capulet are antagonists because they and the family loyalties they represent are the maiin obstacle keeping the protagonists apart. If either set of parents were willing to accept a member of the opposing family as something other than an enemy, Romeo and Juliet would live happily ever after.

Tybalt is the character that comes closest to fulfilling the archetypal role of villian, since he directly antagonizes and commits violence towards Romeo and Romeo's friends. Of course, his reasons are the same as Lord and Lady Capulet - he's just another slave to the old family loyalties.

If you want a bit of an exsistential answer, I would say chance and fate are the twin villians in Romeo and Juliet. Two sides of the same coin, Shakespeare alludes to both through the actions and speeches of his characters. What if Rosaline hadn't chosen a life of chastity and thus rebuffed Romeo? What if Romeo hadn't gone to the Capulets' party? What if Juliet had chosen Paris? What if Tybalt had never killed Mercutio? What if Romeo hadn't slain Tybalt? What if Juliet had simply followed Romeo into exile in Mantua? What if Romeo had arrived a little later to the tomb, so that Juliet was already awake? What if the friar's message had gotten through to Romeo? These are all questions of chance and fate. The prologue tells us that Romeo and Juliet are "star-cross'd lovers" indicating from the get-go that they're doomed, not by man or any character in the play, but by fate.

Answer 3

The villain is the feud between the families. The hate that each have for each other. In the end the villain is defeated by the deaths of Romeo and Juliet.

Answer 4

The villain in Romeo and Juliet is the feud between their families

Answer 5

The parents. They were more caught up in themselves and the tift between their families to notice what their children were up to. The kids were raised by nannies and their own chosen friends. Nobody to put boundaries up and tell them no with strict discipline. They were pampered and indulged, naive to the world. When the protagonists were told they were old enough to start looking to the opposite sex they did! This is a story of two confused kids, stretching their legs in society they are just assimilating to, but because authority figures around them indulged their whims and encouraged their confused feelings, the story ended very badly.

Answer 6

I think the parents of both romeo and juliet because they are the ones bringing hatred to they children and childrens children. That's what i think!
