Andrew Rohrich- Romeo and Jueliet

In Romeo and Jueliet, everybody is to blame for the deaths of the "star crossed lovers" in some way shape or form. Rosaline is to blame for not swallowing her pride and sleeping with romeo. Benvolio is to blame for taking romeo to the party. Even the friar has a role in the deaths, and a rather big one at that.

Rosaline, a beautifull name. Rosaline played a huge role in the play, even though she was not a main character. She played the role of the fox, the "one that got away." Romeo just couldn'nt cut it with her. If she would have guiven up her pride and slept with romeo, this would not have happened.

Honest benvolio, yet the name stands true. It was a kind gesture to a freind that he took Romeo to the party. A comforting attempt that would indeed lead to death. He is not to blame for being a freind, he is to blame for forever joining the star crossed lovers, joining there fate's as well.

Friar lawrance, an honest preist to the high church of the land. He did make a mistake of attempting to prematurely ending the fued. In the end he did end the fued, but at what cost? the death of four is a verry high price to pay for a little scuffle.

Everyone has a role and purpose in the deaths of Romeo and Juliet. Everyone from the nurse to paris. Lady Capulet to the prince. The star crossed lovers could never be, yet they always were. they are forever tangled in todays modern scociety.
