Who is Responsible for Juliet's Death;




In the play Romeo & Juliet, Juliet dies a tragic death. In my opinion, the person who was responsible for Juliet’s death were the people who didn’t approve the way of life that she had wanted.  It mostly consisted of her entire family and anyone in her family who hated the Montague family. Due to everyone’s pride and selfishness throughout the play, Juliet had to hide her relationship, and the biggest part of a young women’s life her marriage with Romeo. In one of the scenes throughout the movie, Juliet had expressed that she has had enough with the difficulty her father had given her. She was forced to love a man she barely knew, by her father.





Juliet had hid around her mother and father rules, just to spend time with Romeo. They soon decided they wanted to get married, and be with each other but before this wedding could happen, Juliet already drank the poison and died.  Romeo’s friend Benvolio had found about the funeral and immediately told Romeo what had happened to his love.




 Romeo was in shock, and he was devastated that the one that he had loved had been gone. Romeo had thought of a way for him and Juliet to be together forever, he bought a cup of poison and decided to end his life to be with her.  He went a far way, and risked his life to go see his beloved Juliet. He laid over her, telling her how much he loves thee and he didn’t realize that she was slowly waking up.




In spite of that he did not realize until he had drank the poison and it was already too late for Juliet to do anything about it. Juliet didn’t know what to do, but cry. She looked at Romeo and picked up the gun that was lying on top of the bed and braced it against her head and took her life, knowing that it would be the only way for them to be together. Therefore, Romeo and Juliet both die knowing that their own families the Montague’s and the Capulet’s will never accept or allow them to be together no matter how much they tried.

  1. This is good Sarah but try and spend less time recounting the play and more time discussing your arguement and what you think!
