ROMEO AND JULIETTE A TRAGIC PLAY

Romeo and Juliet A Tragic Play
It is known that in Shakespeare's tragedies main characters 
die in the end, and in his comedies people marry. Since Romeo and 
Juliet are a tragedy, Romeo and Juliet are going to die in the end. 
Some events have to lead to their deaths, and someone makes these 
events happen. The person(s) who started it all and did something 
that led to all the other events that caused the death of a pair of 
star-crossed lovers. The Capulets and Montagues would be most 
responsible for the deaths of Romeo and Juliet because if their 
ancestors didn't start the fighting, and they didn't continue it, 
nothing terrible would have happened.
The first lines of the book tell us about the hate and envy 
between the two houses. Choir: Two households, both alike in 
dignity, From ancient grudge to new mutiny,. The choir tells us 
that the whole conflict started a long time ago with really little 
things, and then grew into huge fights involving many people. No 
leader of either household ever though about making peace, they 
were all too busy to spoil everything for the rival family. Only after 
the death of their children they realized how wrong they were. 
Romeo and Juliet first meet each other at a party at the 
Capulets' house. They fall in love with each other at the first sight 
without knowing that they are from rival houses, and when they do 
learn about it, it is too late. Juliet says: My only love, sprung from 
my only hate! Too early seen unknown, and known too late!. 
Juliet realizes that it was a mistake to fall in love with Romeo, 
because he is one of the people she should watch out for. He is her 
first and only love, but he is an enemy of her family. Luckily for 
Romeo, Juliet is smart, and such dumb thing as unreasonable hate 
between their parents wouldn't stop her from loving Romeo and 
getting married with him. She is sorry that their families are 
enemies, though, because everything would be much easier if they 
weren't. So this is the first time when the hate between Capulets 
and Montagues becomes an obstacle to Romeo and Juliet's 
happiness.
Only after their children die, do the Montague and Capulet 
come to their senses? The Prince accuses them of killing Romeo 
and Juliet: " . . . Capulet, Montague, See what a scourge is laid 
upon your hate, That heavens finds means to kill your joys with 
love!. The Prince makes them see how wrong they were all the 
time, that all because of their hate, because they couldn't let their 
children love each other, Romeo and Juliet died. After that, 
Capulet and Montague make peace, and Montague even says that 
he will make a gold statue of Juliet, but what is that going to do, it 
is too late, nothing will bring their children back.
It is totally Capulets' and Montagues' fault that Romeo and 
Juliet died. If they didn't hate each other so much, they would let 
their children marry, and they would be able to live happily ever 
after. There was only one person that realized how unreasonable 
the fighting was and even tried to stop it, and he was Benvolio. 
Benvolio was a Montague, but the Capulets didn't have a 
peacemaker such as Benvolio. They only had Tybalt, whose only 
goal was to destroy all the Montagues. Also we don't really know 
how Romeo and Juliet's parents would have reacted if they had 
known that their children love each other. Romeo and Juliet didn't 
even try to tell them about love between them because they were 
afraid that their parents wouldn't understand them, but maybe 
they would. The problem is, we don't know, because Capulet and 
Montague learned about their children's love when they were 
already dead. It is still mostly Capulets' and Montagues' fault that 
Romeo and Juliet died, but maybe it was just their fate to die.
