It's the feud between the families fault for Romeo and Juliet's deaths, because their families hate each other so they weren't allowed to be in love with one another because they are supposed to be sworn enemies. The families had always disliked each other so it was only expected for Romeo and Juliet to do the same. "My only love sprung from my only hate" (W. Shakespeare act 2 scene 1).
Their families have raised them and made it seem like it was natural for them to hate each other. The feud between the families is what caused Romeo to be banished which separated the lovers. Because a fight was started and Romeos friend was killed he had to avenge him. "And for that offence immediately do we exile him hence" (W. Shakespeare act 3 scene 1). The death of Tybalt and Mercutio only happened because of the feud. They only fought because they're families are enemies. Therefore, the feud is the reason Romeo and Juliet were separated in the first place, leading to their deaths.
