Romeo and Juliet Summative
By: Tyler Fagan
Who is to blame for the star crossed lovers tragic death?
The feud between the Capulet's and the Montague's led to the death of Romeo and Juliet. The hardheadedness of both families causes certain events to unfold which in turn leads to the children's death.
The Fight
If there was no feud between the two family's then Tybalt would not have killed Mercutio and romeo would not of killed Tybalt.: "Romeo slew Tybalt, Romeo Must not live. Romeo slew him, he slew Mercutio;"(3.1.177-178). If the families had not had a feud, then there would not have been tension which caused Tybalt to fight Mercutio which eventually led to both of their demises.
The Wedding
If there was no feud with the families and Tybalt had not died, Lord Capulet would not have made Juliet marry Paris because he thought she was upset about Tybalt Lord Capulet thought that the marriage would help her feel better: "Marry, my child,early next Thursday morn, The gallant, Young and noble gentleman" (3.5.112-113). If Capulet had not made Juliet marry Paris then Juliet would not of been so desperate and would not have drank a potion to get out of the marriage. If there had been no fight, no deaths, then the marriage would never of happened and Romeo and Juliet would be still alive.
The Conclusion
If there had been no feud between the Capulet's and the Montague then Tybalt would not of died, Juliet would not have been crying, Lord Capulet would not of made her marry Paris to try to make her feel better she would not of been so desperate to drink the sleeping potion. The death of romeo and Juliet is entirely the fault of the feud.
Romeo and Juliet VS Hatfield's and McCoy's.
The Hatfield's and McCoy's story is similar to romeo and Juliet. In the Hatfield and McCoy's the feud ended up killing all but two of the family if there had been no feud then nobody would of died. "You propose now to ease your conscience for deserting? Or for my brother's murder?"(fikklefame). The same thing happen'd to romeo and Juliet Tybalt was killed and they were upset about the death leading to romeos and Juliet's death. The tension with Tybalt and Mercutio ended in there deaths such as the feud between the Hatfield's and McCoy's. "Get out of my sight before i snap you like a chicken neck"(fikkle fame). The hate between the family's just like the Capulet's and the Montague's was the sole reason for the deaths of romeo and Juliet just like the feud between the Hatfield's and McCoy's was the reason for the deaths of most of the family members on both family's.
Romeo and Juliet VS Demons By: Imagine Dragons
Demons is similar to Romeo and Juliet. " So they dug your grave and the Mas-Quer-ade will come call-ing out at the mess you've made"(Imagine Dragons"Demons"). The song is talking about how they died and making a grave for you and the mess you've made. Like in Romeo and Juliet, Lord Capulet in a way dug Juliet's grave by making her marry Paris and if he had not thought that she was crying about Tibilts death which was because of the feud then Romeo and Juliet would not have died.
