    In the play The Tragedy of Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare, Juliet says, “If all else fail, myself have the power to die.” Due to this quote and many other factors, when asked who is most responsible for the deaths of Romeo and Juliet, I believe they were most responsible for their own deaths.

Even though Romeo and Juliet made the final choice to take their own lives at the end, other characters in this tragedy still influenced their decisions. For as long as anyone could remember the Capulet and Montague families have strongly disliked each other.…

Before Romeo made such a decision, he had been waiting for Friar Lawrence in Mantua to send him news of the uplifting sorts when Balthazar had told him that Juliet had died.…
