Who Is Lord Capulet Responsible For The Death Of Romeo And Juliet
In the play Romeo and Juliet, I think that Lord Capulet is the person most responsible for the death of Romeo and Juliet.To start, Lord Capulet forced Juliet to marry Paris, a man she did not want to marry because she did not love him and she was already married to Romeo. “...An you be not, hang, beg, starve, die in the streets,/ For my soul, I’ll ne’er acknowledge thee,...”-Capulet (3.5.220-221).Lord Capulet says this after Juliet shows she is not happy about marrying Paris. He is willing to not only throw Juliet out of the house and disown her but to also not acknowledge her is she is starving and dying. This kind of threat scares Juliet and she feels she has no choice but to take the poison and follow through with Friar Laurence’s plan.Second,
