Romeo and Juliet, a famous love story and play written by William Shakespeare, full of many emotions felt in people's lives almost every day, love, lust, hate, joy, happiness, depression and the most important emotion felt in this famous love story was guilt. The death of Romeo Montague and Juliet Capulet was brought upon young love by the emotions the family surrounding them were dealing with, as children we grow up defining the word guilt as a feeling or declaring it is something or someone responsible for faults or wrong actions, but in this story of love and lust who was really responsible for the death of Romeo and Juliet? Was it themselves or the people around them? The feud between the Montague and Capulet family plays an important role in the death of the young couple as it was the cause of almost everything that happened in the short but long time the young people spent together. The feud between the two families should have been stopped many years ago as even today it is unclear why the two families really hated each other so much, not even the death of their daughters and sons would have brought the Montagues and the Capulets. Together. If the hatred between these two families didn't exist, would Romeo have lived happily ever after? that's the question in the end, would it really work? or should Romeo and Juliet endure the same amount of heartache? In this short but incredibly powerful love story many think there are many things to blame, and through the play we are given evidence that may prove there are many to blame for the deaths. Friar Laurence and the Capulets' nurse played a vital role in this story, they were the people of Romeo and Juliet...... in the center of the card...... to the idea that in the end they were both Romeo and I Juliet's selfish ways that caused the pain and sorrow that they both had to endure before they were reunited together not on earth but in heaven. In conclusion, it can never be just one person's fault for the sad ending of this love story, it was in that moment all the decisions, beliefs and actions surrounding Romeo and Juliet that helped shape the end of this famous love story, since decisions and beliefs have no religion or language, anyone can make them, choose them and believe in them unlike the two families who could not find anything to unite even the loss of their precious daughter and son. “For there never was a sadder story/Than this of Juliet and her Romeo.” 5.3.314Work CitedShakespeare, William. “Romeo and Juliet”.
