Society was the most to blame for condemning them for who they chose to love.
-
Romeo, because Juliet wasn't really dead yet.
-
Shakespeare. Without William, neither would have exsisted.
-
i think their families were to blame for trying to keep them apart. if they hadnt been so worried about being together, none of it would have happened.
-
Romeo for being love blind!
-
The society which taught them that suicide was an acceptable option.
-
The nurse!
-
Do your own homework and don't ask this question unless you really understand the full story.
-
William Shakespeare.
-
Juliet. Couldn't she have just chilled for like 5 minutes??? Always jumping to conclusions that Juliet!
-
Cupid
-
Society.
-
LOVE!
-
Not who...what. Prejudice.....People thinking they were better than others.....Closed-mindedness and ignorance. Still happens today.
-
THEMSELVES and then Lord Capulet oh how i hated it..
-
Fate?
-
I never did understand why Juliet didn't just follow him into exile.
-
Sir cumstance
-
society
-
Their families.
-
Verizon is totally the ones to blame. If they had their cells on them, they could have avoided the whole incident!

for this tragedy i think blame is so intangible and so wrapped up in past circumstances that it's truly hard to blame one single person. they're all to blame, right down to the two kids themselves. even qualifying it with "more to blame" doesn't really do it justice. i think that's why it's so tragic...all the odds were against them. as the audience, we see all the situations coming against but we also see the purity involved in two people falling in love. because of the tragic nature of the story, we, as humans, automatically look to throw blame on some one person, when in essence it's the intolerable nature of romantic tragedy.

They were both to blame. They made the decision. No one made them kill themselves.
-
I blame the monk. If Father Laurence had delivered the letter IN PERSON, there wouldn't have been the whole passing the postman on the road and Romeo would have actually been in on the plan. It was all the priest's idea, and he should have taken better precautions.
-
The Greeks. The theatre was their idea anyway.
-
Well - remember that neither one of them intended to commit suicide. Their plan was to run away together. It was only when Romeo thought that Juliet was dead that he did it.... and only then when Juliet saw that Romeo was dead - did she. The one to blame was the lame messenger to be honest. He was a slow poke - watering his mule instead of getting there asap!!
-
Cassius. The fault is not in their stars, but in themselves, the star-crossed lovers, from one Shakespeare character, in one play, to another in a different play.
-
The drug dealer. Another drug related death (or 2)
-
NOT LOVE YET LOVE!
-
If it was a real situation, I'd have to say the people who exiled Romeo are to blame. Since it is a play, William Shakespeare is to blame.
-
I don't know about blame, but they were both too young to handle all the family s*** they got into.
-
their parents(family)
-
there is a lot of ppl to blame: William Shakespeare- he wrote it the Capulets & the Montague- why do they dislike each other soooooo much Capulets- they shouldn't let Juliet marry some1 she doesnt love romeo- he falls in love waaaaaaaaay 2 quickly Juliet- she was waaaaaaaaaay 2 slow to wake up
-
Love hath no blame...William Shakespear is to blame, he wrote it to break hearts. Good Luck!
-
The WORLD! The point of the whole thing is that true love is not compatible with this world, someone will always come along to screw it up.
-
Each one of them for being stupid. All they had to do was move out of Italy...duh!
-
Stupidity!

They were both to blame. Romeo and Juliet has been a great source of frustration for me, because everyone looks on it as a love story, and I absolutely do not believe that William Shakespeare intended it that way. Romeo and Juliet were only 14 or 15 at the time that this took place, and if you really examine the play, you'll notice that they never said one meaningful thing to one another. They hardly even knew one another, let alone loved one another. Romeo and Juliet had a very meaningful relationship, but it was one of passion and lust, not true love. Had they allowed the realationship to progress, they would have realized that, which is why Friar Laurence refused to marry them right away. They both killed themselves in a fit of the passion that had consumed them. The entire story of their folly together is a tragedy, and so it was doomed from the beginning to end the way tragedies do: with death.

The heads of the families; they condoned and encouraged the feud - if there was no feud, neither would be dead.

Shakespeare
