Romeo and Juliet essay about who is to blame for the tradgic occurrences in the play.

William Shakespeare's "Romeo and Juliet" is a story of a series of occurrences which ultimately result in the tragic deaths of many. These tragic occurrences can not be blamed on any one person or happening, but instead on a number of actions, which when combined, led to the disastrous events which were to follow. The Feud between Romeo and Juliet's family, the secrecy, which resulted because of it and the fighting between the two families …

…the two families, but perhaps the blame should be placed on Romeo and Juliet's ancestors who began the grudge so many years before. As the deaths of Mercutio and Tybalt were a direct result of the hatred between the two families. This hatred and hostility was so strong that unfortunately it took the deaths of many family and friends before the two opposing sides could put aside their differences and end their age old fighting.
