Romeo and Juliet Faults

It is a well-known fact that death and taxes are the only thing you can count on in this more “civilized” period of time. Taxes are an interesting field of study, but have little to do with Romeo and Juliet. In the Shakespearean play, Romeo and Juliet, both Romeo and Juliet die in the end. Romeo dies from drinking a poison, which he drank because he thought that Juliet was dead. Juliet then died from stabbing herself with a dagger, when she awoke to find Romeo diseased beside her. While Romeo, Juliet, and their crazy love can take most of the blame for this chain of events, there are other characters in the play that are also largely to blame. The Friar, Juliet’s nurse, and Mr. Capulet can be partly blamed for the deaths of Romeo and Juliet because of the many ways they affected the lives and ways of thinking of both Romeo and Juliet.

The Nurse caused the deaths by her changing and unfaithful views on what Juliet should do about marriage with Romeo and then Count Paris. “Then hie you hence to Friar Lawrence’s cell There stags a husband to make you a wife.” (Shakespeare II. vi. 73-74).

To do with Paris to Saint Peter’s Church, or I will drag thee on a hurdle thither.” (Shakespeare III. v. 155-160). This quote is from when Mr. Capulet is telling Juliet that he has decided that she is going to marry Count Paris on Thursday, and if she tries to not go, then he will drag her there. This shows how Mr. Capulet wanted complete control over his family and wouldn’t allow others to have their own opinions. If Mr. Capulet had only let his daughter decide on her own husband, then she wouldn’t have had to take the Friars potion, which ended up killing both Romeo and Juliet.
