Who/what is to blame for Romeo and Juliet’s death and what factors

contributed to it?

• Romeo is to blame. “Come, cordial and

not poison, go with me To Juliet’s grave,

for there must I use thee” (Act 5.1.87-

88).This shows that Romeo makes bad

choices.

Who/what is to blame for Romeo and Juliet’s death and what factors

contributed to it?

• Romeo’s decisions cause his death. For

example, Romeo chooses to kill himself:

“Come, cordial and not poison, go with

me To Juliet’s grave, for there must I use

thee” (Act 5.1.87-88).This shows that

Romeo makes bad decisions because he

drinks a potion. This proves that he is to

blame.

Who/what is to blame for Romeo and Juliet’s death and what factors contributed to it?

• Romeo’s makes bad decisions and these play a large

role in his death. For example, after learning of Juliet’s

death Romeo makes a poor decision: “Come, cordial

and not poison, go with me To Juliet’s grave, for there

must I use thee” (Act 5.1.87-88). Choosing to buy

poison shows that Romeo cannot handle bad news and

therefore makes rash decisions. This is important

because his decisions have life and death

consequences and instead of asking questions to verify

truth, he chooses to put his and Juliet’s lives in danger.
