Romeo and Juliet’s deaths were caused by Tybalt, who was Juliet’s cousin, and Mercutio who was Romeo’s cousin. The sides of the family not getting along was the reason Mercutio and Tybalt fought, and they both ended up dead,and Romeo was banished. Tybalt was the instigator of most of the fights that happened in the story, in lines 35 through 140 in the story Tybalt is encouraging the brawl that killed both himself and Mercutio. He was also the reason the Prince passed the law of banishment in lines 185 through 195. If Tybalt never killed Mercutio, the Romeo would have never been banished. Tybalt had started the fight, calling out Romeo in lines 35 and in lines 60 through 65. Mercutio ended up dead due to a fatality wound. Tybalt had kept getting into fights, which resulted in the Capulets Prince declaring that anyone who started a fight would be banished in lines 185 through 195 in the story. Tybalt did not like Romeo simply because he was a Capulet and Romeo was a Montague. …show more content…
Mercutio interfered because Romeo was his cousin, he was standing up for his blood. Mercutio should have let Romeo fight his own battles, instead of fighting for him, then Mercutio would not have been stabbed, therefore he would still be alive and Romeo would not have been banished for killing Tybalt. Mercutio dying angered Romeo and he returned to the fight, and slayed Tybalt, causing a scene and the Prince of the Capulets banished
Romeo and Juliet was a tragic play about two star crossed lovers who are indirectly murdered by Juliet’s cousin Tybalt. It was not the stars who killed Romeo and Juliet, it was Tybalt. There are three main reasons Tybalt is accused of killing Romeo and Juliet: he was a violent person, he killed Mercutio, and Tybalt wanted to keep the feud going. Tybalt was a violent person who kept the Capulet, Montague feud going separating Romeo and Juliet.
Prince Escalus, who was the Prince of Verona, said before that he would execute anyone who killed another man, so Romeo had to leave Verona in order to survive. If Tybalt had just left Mercutio alone, then Romeo wouldn’t have been
An error within an action is a mistake, a mistake is a thing that most people will regret in the future. Friar Laurence as well as Romeo made many mistakes but some of them went overboard in William Shakespeares Romeo and Juliet. It wasn't fate that led to the death of Romeo Montague and Juliet Capulet it was the mistakes of Romeo and Friar Laurence. As in the mistake of marrying the two lovers and planning a risky scheme of drinking a sleeping potion from the Friar or even the murder of Tybalt by Romeo Montague. The tragedy in this play is caused by the main actions of Friar Lawrence and Romeo, and not by fate.
Over time, there has been much controversy about Shakespeare’s work, Romeo and Juliet, over who or what was the most responsible for the deaths of Romeo and Juliet. As we can clearly see, Friar Laurence is ultimately the cause of Romeo and Juliet’s deaths. The Friar was very rash in marrying Romeo and Juliet and should’ve seen the complications in marrying them in secret. The Friar’s plan was also very faulty and he made many mistakes. Also, the Friar failed in his spiritual guidance and gave into his cowardice in the end.
Are our futures led by fate or are they led by the decisions we make? In William Shakespeare’s play, "The Tragedy of Romeo and Juliet", a pair of star-crossed lovers, Romeo and Juliet, take their lives. Their choices led to many deaths and destructions. Romeo and Juliet ended their lives and should be blamed, but so should the Nurse and Friar Lawrence. I think that Romeo and Juliet contributed to their own deaths because they didn’t make good decisions and were very impulsive.
For most instances of life, the bystander is the innocent one but, this is not the case for Romeo in Shakespeare's famous 1597 tragedy Romeo & Juliet. Romeo the son of the Montagues, a family of nobility is a passionate and fool-hardy young man in search of love. In search of finding a lady he attends a ball uninvited and angers Tybalt the nephew of a lord of a rival house. Eventually, Mercutio, a companion of Romeo, comes to blows with Tybalt over Romero’s honor and name. In Romeo and Juliet, the one ultimately responsible for the deaths of Mercutio and Tybalt is Romeo, because he should not have attended the ball, Romeo did not do enough to prevent Mercutio from fighting and he did not do enough to save him, finally that Romeo had killed Tybalt in a blind fit of rage.
Romeo does nothing to fight back so Mercutio steps up and fight Tybalt but loses his life in doing so. After Mercutio dies Romeo is full of anger and craves vengeance, he immediately chases after Tybalt and kills him. Romeo starts off not wanting to fight but after the death of Mercutio he is conflicted with so many different emotions and he only listens to one, anger. Mercutio lost his life defending Romeo who refused to fight Tybalt, but his death made Romeo do the exact thing he lost his life for.
“There are two tragedies in life. One is to lose your heart's desire. The other is to gain it.” Said George Bernard Shaw, Man, and Superman. Romeo and Juliet is the story of two lovestruck teenagers who, through many unfortunate events, commit suicide.
In beautiful Verona, where our story takes place... A longstanding hatred between two families, Montague and Capulet, two unlucky children of their enemy families become lovers...and take their own lives. (prologue page 2) From Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare. In Verona lays Juliet, a young lady age of 13, who is daughter of Lord and Lady Capulet. She is secretly married to Romeo, house of Montague and son of Lord and Lady Montague.
He wants to fight, but Romeo is not budging, for he does not want to harm Juliet’s cousin. So instead of Romeo fighting Tybalt, Mercutio fights Tybalt because Romeo will not fight for himself. Romeo steps between them and tries to stop the duel, but Tybalt manages to stab Mercutio underneath Romeo’s
Tybalt killed Mercutio even after Romeo warned him to cease fighting which led to Romeo’s banishment. According to the text, Romeo states, “The prince expressly hath forbid this bandying in Verona streets. Hold, Tybalt! Good Mercutio! Romeo attempts to beat down their rapiers.
Death, tragedy, misery, love, and unity, all of these words describe the story of Romeo and Juliet, but it all revolved around Tybalt making his first terrible mistake. In the play Romeo and Juliet written by Shakespeare, the short story is that two young lovers secretly get married, people murder in anger, the two lovers get separated, and then end their lives in a tragic death because of no communication. But, like I said, this all revolves around a mistake Tybalt makes because of the feud between the Capulet (Juliet’s family) and the Montague (Romeo’s family). Tybalt is the character most to blame for the tragic events in Romeo and Juliet because, he killed Mercutio, which lead to Romeo 's banishment, which then leads to the suicides of Romeo
Tybalt always wanted to fight Romeo. Tybalt and Mercutio get into a fight because of some upsetting words Tybalt said. In the fight Tybalt kills Mercutio, which get Romeo upset. Then Romeo kills Tybalt, which gets him banished form Verona, Italy. So the long-standing family feuding and fate are the cause of Romeo and Juliet’s deaths.
Tybalt challenges Romeo to a duel and he declines the challenge and insists that he won’t fight Tybalt. Mercutio is angered by Romeo’s “cowardice” and takes on Tybalt himself. Romeo wants Mercutio to stop fighting Tybalt so he decides that it’d be a good idea to block his arm in mid combat and Tybalt stabs Mercutio from under Romeo’s arm and Mercutio falls dead after rambling about plagues and a pun or two. Romeo doesn’t realize that it is his own fault that Mercutio died after Mercutio even blamed his wound on him. Romeo lets his emotions decide his actions and becomes enraged and ignores that Tybalt is now his family and fails to see that he was the reason Mercutio was killed.
Romeo allows his thirst for revenge to cloud his logical reasoning when he kills Tybalt who has just murdered Mercutio, Romeo’s best friend. Mercutio defends Romeo against Tybalt’s insults with comebacks and later his sword. As Romeo attempts to intervene, Mercutio is stabbed by Tybalt and Romeo is enraged. Once he finds out from Benvolio that the wound had killed him, Romeo,”Who had but newly entertained revenge,” (III.i.173), kills Tybalt and flees the scene. Romeo declined to
