Montague+C

Character analysis: Who is responsible for Juliet's "death"?
 * //__Peter Kim__//**

Montague, who is Romeo's father, has responsibility for Juliet's death because he was the one who gave Romeo birth. If Romeo wasn't born, Juliet would not have fall in love with Romeo, and married with Paris. Furthermore, if Montague didn't had conflicts with Capulet, Romeo and Juliet's marriage would not have been that serious problem. There are some textual evidence below this paragraph, which will show us how much Montagues and Capulets dislikes each other.

Montague** Thou villain Caupulet! [she stops him] Hold me not, let me go!(1.1.81)
 * 1.

Capulet** My sword, I say! Old Montague is come And flourishes his blade in spite of me!(1.1.79)
 * 2.

Sampson** A dog of the house of Montague moves me.(1.1.8)
 * 3.

Sampson** Nay, as they dare. I will bite my thumb at them, which is a disgrace to them if they bear it.(1.1.43) [bites his thumb]
 * 4.

Tybalt** What, drawn, and talk of peace? I hate the word, As i hate hell, all Montagues, and thee! Have at thee, coward!(1.1.71)
 * 5.

10/08, Arnold Hwang Sir Montague is partially responsible for Juliet's death. First, he is the great boss in the Montague family. But as a boss, he didn't try to stop the fight between the Montagues and Capulets, and caused many people to die, and this gave many concerns to Juliet. Secondly, as a boss, Montague didn't stop or secure the family members from going to the enemies' party, which caused many problems such as Romeo and Juliet's love, and eventually, Juliet's death.

//Lady Capulet: I beg for justice, which thou prince must give! Romeo slew Tybalt... Romeo must not live!// //The Prince: Romeo slew him... He slew Mercutio. Who now the price of his dear blood doth owe? Lord Montague: Not Romeo, Prince! He was Mercutio's friend. His fault concludes but what the law should end-the life of Tybalt!// //The Prince: And for that offense, immediately we do exile him hence! Let Romeo hence in haste... Else, when he is found... that hour is his last.// Montague: : Mercutio, what do you suppose is the matter with my son?
