When we look at the question, who is to blame for the death of Romeo and Juliet, there could be more than one to blame. We all know the tragedy of what happened between Romeo and Juliet; they both die. Who should be held responsible for their deaths? The families of the Montagues and the Capulets, Friar Lawrence, and fate should be blamed for the death of Romeo and Juliet. The next couple paragraphs will show evidence of why they are to blame. (DBQ: Romeo and Juliet: Who's to Blame. 2013. A Mini Document Based Question (Mini-Q). 1234 Sherman Avenue, Evanston, IL.) First to blame, are the feuding families. The Montagues and Capulets is a reason why Romeo and Juliet die in the end. The two families already have conflict from the beginning.
