Romeo and Juliet
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.

Romeo drinks a potion and Juliet stabs herself with a sword, I think. I wish I could remember what Balthasar did but you can definitely Google it.

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

It's been three or so years since I read it.. but if I remember correctly...
The messenger had a letter saying that Juliet was under a potion or something and wasn't really dead. She was faking her death for the time being. But before the messenger could give the letter to Romeo, he left. Romeo thought Juliet was dead, so he killed himself. Juliet woke up and found Romeo dead, so she killed herself.
Who's fault? Well... It could be blamed on many people.
It could be blamed on either Juliet's parents or Romeo's parents because they were fighting, putting a lot of stress on their children, who secretly loved each other. If the parents were more open and willing to discuss and resolve their problems, maybe the deaths wouldn't have happened.
It could be blamed on the messenger for not arriving sooner; for if he'd arrived sooner, neither Romeo nor Juliet would've killed themselves.
Then Juliet could've been to blame. Maybe she should've gotten word to Romeo that she was pretending to be dead.
Of course Romeo could be to blame because he, quite possibly, overreacted and killed himself.
Take your pick, see which makes the most sense, since it's been a while since I read it.

the messenger never told romeo anything, he left before the messenger could deliver the letter. the letter said that juliet is faking her death and will wake up after 72 hours or something like that, so dont think shes actually dead.
no ones exactly responsible for their deaths, because they killed themselves. romeo killed himself, because he thought he saw juliet was dead, when only she was under a potion to make her seem dead. when juliet woke up to romeo dead, she also killed herself.
anymore questions about it, just ask me.
