Juliet's parents are responsible for her death. They made Juliet marry someone who she didn't want to. They were only thinking about what would be best for themselves, not for her. She was also extremely young; probably too young to even get married. Also, Juliet was in love with Romeo, but they didn't let her see him. All of these factors made Juliet act out against her parents and disobey them. This eventually led to her drinking the poison. Although this was Juliet's own action, she was pushed into it by her parents, making it their fault.

I think that Juliet's parents were the ones that lent the most to Juliet's suicide. This is mostly because she was practically neglected as a child. Her father was far too occupied with making sure Juliet fit the Capulet style and was able to carry on his family legacy. This mostly meant that he needed to find a spouse for Juliet that was suitable in his eyes. This process in and of itself neglects Juliet's feelings. Even her mother did not seem to have time for her. Despite the fact that she was her mother and primary caretaker, Juliet saw the nurse as more of a mother figure. The nurse was also ultimately the one who had more influence over Juliet. As a whole, her parents also pushed Juliet too much. Had they acknowledged that Juliet did not want to marry Paris, she would not have gotten desperate and gone to Friar Lawrence.

Friar Laurence is responsible for Juliet's death. He helped marry Romeo and Juliet when they were not allowed to be together because of the feud between the two families. He encouraged all the wrong actions leading to Juliet's death. If he had not given Juliet a potion Romeo would not have thought that Juliet was dead and killed himself and Juliet would have killed herself because Romeo would still be alive. The main reason why I believe that it is Friar's fault is that he did not notify Romeo of the fake death plan in time so he believed Juliet was actually dead which led to the actual death of Juliet after Romeo killed himself. Friar Laurence is responsible for Juliet's death.

Juliet's family is absolutely responsible for Juliet's death. Had they not been forcing marriage upon her to Paris, she never would have had to be so deceptive about her love for Romeo. This is also their fault because of the ridiculous notion that if Juliet did not obey their every whim and marry Paris, that she would be thrown out. This led to the sowing of seeds of rebellion in Juliet's heart only leading her to fall twice as hard for Romeo. If not for their idiotic feud passed on from generation to generation, Romeo and Juliet's love would not even have been forbidden leading to both of their tragic deaths. All these reasons lead me to conclude that Juliet's parents are responsible for her death.

This whole problem was caused by Juliet, this is for many reasons; Juliet decided that the friars plan was excellent and fool proof and so she decided to go along with it, this ended up being the reason everything failed. Then Juliet was the person who decided that Romeo, a man that she has known for a very short amount of time is worth dying for. Then Juliet is determined that she needs to make sure that she isn't married to Paris this lead her to take her life witch of course it is not, however her family does have some blame for not trying to be supporitive and caring.

Friar Laurence should be responsible for Juliet's death. Not only did he plan her death, but proceeded to give actual poisin to a minor. What kind of priest is he to go against her parents and take advantage of her innocence. Parents have faith with their priests but he went against their wishes. He caused 2 deaths that could've been avoided if he would just mind his own buisness. They could have ran away together and lived the rest of their lives.

Juliet's parents are responsible for her suicide. They neglected her and tried to force her into a marriage, at such a young age, with Paris. Juliet didn't want to be with Paris, she wanted to be with Romeo. This lead to her taking her own life to be with Romeo. Juliet didn't have any trust in her parents that she would be able to come to them, the fear of their response was too great.The decisions her parents made affected Juliet in a huge way. It lead to her taking her own life to go be with romeo.

I believe that there isn't a single party at fault here. Everyone in Romeo and Juliet contributed to what happened to Juliet. For example, Romeo and Juliet themselves could have come up with a different plan or tried to talk to their families even though that probably wouldn't have gone well. Their families are also at fault because Juliet's parents never showed her any kind of affection. It makes sense why she was driven to do anything for love once she had it. The feud between the two families also prevented them from falling in love in a way that didn't involve anyone getting hurt. If they were from different families, their stories would have ended much differently. It's hard to place the blame on anyone specifically as everyone in the story contributes to the ending in some way.
