Who is responsible for the death of Romeo and Juliet?

The death of Rome and Juliet was very tragic and there were a few people to blame. Firstly, I think Friar Lawrence who was the priest was to blame for the death because he came up with the  idea to secretly save Juliet from getting married to Paris and instead to Romeo which didn`t work out. This is because Balthazar the letter deliverer didn’t give Romeo the letter, even if the gauds didn’t let him go, he should of gone another day or time, so Romeo could get the idea of the plan and of what’s going on. One of Romeos friend witnessed Juliet lying on the bed as if she was dead. But she wasn`t. Romeo`s friend went to go and brake the news to Romeo and Romeo and his friends gushed to go and see. Romeo kills himself because he thinks Juliet is dead. Then suddenly Juliet wakes up and finds Romeo dead so then she decides to kill herself. This is why the whole situation go out of hand when Friar came up with his plan to save Juliet, but instead a tragic ending to two`s hearts.

I also think I also think that lord Capulet is to blame as well. This is because he had arranged for Juliet to get married to a person named Paris who was nothing alike Juliet. If the father of Juliet would of just listened to her, then nothing would of gone wrong, friar wouldn’t of come up with the plan and Romeo could of possibly got married to Juliet, but instead lord Capulet ignored Juliet and took decisions into his own hands when its Juliet’s marriage. That is why I think Lord Capulet is the reason for the death.

Lady Capulet could have been one of the reasons for the death, because if she had just listened to her daughter, and instead of thinking about herself, then everything would have gone to plan. Lady Capulet is too busy worrying about herself, that she has no time for Juliet. Lady Capulet just keeps on agreeing to her husband when Lady Capulet doesn`t even know what he`s just said.

Despite who is to blame, there were a few people who gradually encouraged Romeo to go forth with the marriage to Juliet and not bother about the consequences. These people were Friar Lawrence and the Nurse. Also, the nurse could have told Lady Capulet of what is going to happen and of the secret marriage.

In conclusion I think the main reason for the death of Romeo and Juliet and the person who was to blame for the death was the Priest, Friar Lawrence. This is because he organised a secret marriage for Romeo, and with his words he was married. Friar also knew that their relationship was not going to last long, because they were two people from two different families. One a Capulet and one a Montague. Friar found out Juliet was going to marry Paris, and then he became a big man and took control, he made a plan that went totally wrong. This is why I think Friar is main culprit and the one to blame for the death of Romeo and Juliet.

  1. Friar John was Friar Laurence's letter deliverer, not Balthasar. Balthasar served the Montague family, and accompanied Romeo when he was exiled for the murder of Tybalt. Romeo asked him for news of how Juliet was, so he snuck back into Verona and saw Juliet being "laid down to rest", as everyone thought she was dead (from Friar Laurence's death-like sleep potion). He returned to Romeo and gave him the FAKE news of Juliet's death, whilst Friar John was stuck with the guards on the way to Mantua, hence he never received the letter.
