This question is for all you people who are fasinated by Shakespeare's plays. I need to know who is responsible for the deaths of Romeo and Juliet, and why. I also need to know what the messenger (Balthasar or whoever) told Romeo, and why. Thank you so much.

I just read that play this school year. Well theres more than one person whom can be blamed. Firstly, both the Montagues and Capulets, because of their families fueding, it caused the two to run off and get married. Thats how it all began to happen. Or you could blame the Obvious Romeo and Juliet. But they were just two young kids, who thought they were in love and knew their families would not agree. I somehow recall Friar Lawrence, being said maybe to blame, because it was his plan for juliet to drink the potion and such. Or it could be Balthasar. Balthasar, was supposed to bring the letter informing of what Juliet was doing and such, but he did not make it in time, i believe their was an incident with his horse and so he didnt make it. In class we discussed how it could even be romeos own fault for not taking juliets appearance seriously. When he found her "dead" she had rosey cheeks and bright pink lips but never thought to mind that if she were dead, she would look very dull and dim. Its really a matter of opinion in my mind. :0) HOPE I HELPED
