Who Was Responsible For Juliet's Death?

Romeo and Juliet is the popular tragedy written by William Shakespeare. This famous story is about two young star-crossed lovers whose deaths ultimately unite their conflicting families. There are many different causes for the death of these young teenage lovers. Let's take a look at Juliet's death for instance. Firstly, I think that Romeo is one of the causes of Juliet's death. This is because Juliet loved Romeo with such great, intense passion that she could not bear the pain of his death. Since Romeo was dead in front of her, the passion that Juliet had for Romeo and the great heartache of his permanent absence lead her to kill herself too. Also, Juliet is to blame for her own death because she was not forced to kill herself but she chose to die. Even though Juliet is to blame for her tragic death, Romeo has the greater responsibility to her death because her love and passion for him caused her to decide to kill herself. In conclusion, Juliet and Romeo are both responsible for the unfortunate death of Juliet but, Romeo plays the greater cause.
