Romeo and juliet Reflection

Was it right for Romeo and Juliet to kill themselves because of their love for each other? Why or why not?
I think that if they really truly did love each other, and they believe that they cant live without the other, then they have perfect reasoning to kill themselves. We don’t understand their love for each other, because we were not in their heads during the events of the play, but if what they had was all that they wanted, then they can decide for themselves. When they got married, they promised each other to spend the rest of their lives together, and they did.

Who was ultimately responsible for all of the death that occurred in the play? Why?
There isn’t one person or group of people to blame for the deaths, its simply fate. If there was need to blame something or someone, I would have to say its both of the families. If they had not been such big rivals, then Romeo and Juliet could have gotten married appropriately. Tybalt would not be dead and Juliet’s parents would not have made her marry Paris. Which is she did not have to marry Paris, she would not have to fake her own death, which led to Romeo’s death and Juliet’s true death following.

What do you think of Capulet’s orders that Juliet marry Paris? Was he correct to do so? Why or why not?
I think it was wrong for Capulet to force Juliet to marry Paris. Moreover, I think that Juliet should not have let her father control her like that. He doesn’t seem to care for what might be best for Juliet, he only cares that Paris is rich. If he thinks Juliet is old enough for marriage, then she is clearly old enough to make her own decision.
