Friar Lawrence plays a big part in causing the death of Romeo and Juliet because he secretly marries them knowing something either negative or positive will happen. Friar even tells Romeo the cautions for he says 'Wisely and slow. They stumble that run fast.' (Act II Scene III 97) Friar marries them because he thinks that the marriage is going to end the feud between the families of Romeo and Juliet. He knows that even though Romeo and Juliet are in love they will never be able to see each other. Not in a grave to lay one in, another out to have” (Act II scene III 85) Also, if Friar Lawrence did not give Juliet the potion that she was going to use to deceive her family into thinking she was dead to get out of her marriage to Paris and make Romeo aware of what was going to happen, their deaths would not have occurred. Romeo goes to the tomb thinking Juliet is really dead after Balthasar accidently informed him of Juliet’s apparent death not knowing of her plan. If he had stayed there longer without taking the poison he had obtained from Apothecary they both would not have killed themselves. He brought the poison to the tomb to end his own life next to Juliet after seeing for himself if she was really dead. Romeo did not want to live without Juliet. Capulet also played an important role in the death of Romeo and Juliet because he told Juliet that she was going to marry Paris and she had no choice. By

“From for the fatal lions of these two foes, a pair of stare-cross’d lovers take their life’s, whose misadventur’d piteouse overthrows? Doth with their death bury their parent’s strife” (Shakespeare). Many deaths are caused due to this tragic love.

Some people may think that Tybalt and Lord Capulet are the main cause of Romeo and Juliet’s deaths, but they are wrong. People would think this because; Tybalt got Romeo banished from Verona, and Lord Capulet pushed Juliet into an unwanted marriage. That may be a factor, but the actual main reason is because of their fate and the family feud. Once they met, they knew that it was fate; they knew that they loved each other.

An argument that might occur would be, "Do you really think Capulet would kill his own daughter?" Yes, if she pushed him far enough( which she did) then I personally think he would. She pushed him to far by disobeying him, by not wanting to marry Paris, and by faking a false death just so she could see Romeo. I have been assured that Lord Capulet had made his expectations high for Juliet, but that doesn't give him the right to push Juliet into faking a
The last person to blame for the death of Romeo and Juliet, is Juliet’s father, Lord Capulet. In the beginning of the story, a young man named Paris wishes to marry Juliet, but Lord Capulet says,
The only people responsible for Romeo and Juliet’s death are Romeo and Juliet. That is, because of their impatience and ignorance. (Although I do believe some other characters are at fault, I am only doing Romeo for this essay.) Things would have been so different if they had just waited five minutes.

When tragedy intervenes in love, who could we blame? Could death or prejudice be responsible for intervention, or even the destruction, of love? In the famous play, “Romeo and Juliet,” two young star-crossed lovers, by the names of Romeo and Juliet, experience various conflicts regarding their forbidden marriage. When they feel what they share is love at first sight, there is one problem: They both belong to opposing families.

An unfortunate chain of events leads to their passing, leaving many culprits to blame. The banishment of Romeo, the unsent letter, and the risky plan concocted by Friar Lawrence are all events that contributed, but ultimately, the blame lies with one person. Lord Capulet was the cause of Romeo and Juliet’s demise because of his hatred for the Montagues and his decision to force marriage upon Juliet.
