Romeo Killed Everyone!!

In William Shakespeare’s play, Romeo and Juliet, Romeo is responsible for just about everyone’s death. If it hadn't been for him then 8 people including Romeo wouldn't have died. You might be saying to yourself, “That’s kind of harsh,” well that’s where you’re wrong! Romeo, throughout the whole play, let his emotions get the best of him which is the main reason why a lot of people died. If Romeo would have just thought logically before acting then none of this would have happened.

The play starts off with Romeo being extremely depressed about some girl that doesn't love him. As the play progresses one of Romeo’s friends suggests that they should attend this party that every single one of their enemies are going to be at, otherwise known as mistake number one! They arrive at the get-together wearing masks. This was supposed to hide their identities, apparently it was logical back then to cover your face and enter the gathering place of people who hate you. In the middle of the party Romeo spots Juliet and decides that he loves her. Romeo, completely forgetting about the other girl, proceeds to talk Juliet into kissing him. Then Juliet goes home and talks to herself about how deeply she’s in love with Romeo whom she met merely a few hours before then. Romeo just so happened to be underneath Juliet’s balcony and heard everything she said. So logically he hops out the bushes that he wasn't hiding behind and basically says “Hey I love you too!!” So Juliet, not wanting anyone to think that she’s promiscuous, decides that the best thing to do is get married. So Romeo and Juliet, despite their family’s feud, make wedding plans because they are just so in love! The rest of the play consists of: Romeo killing Juliet’s cousin, Romeo being banned from the city,

Juliet pretending to kill herself, Romeo killing her other fiancé,  Romeo thinking she’s dead and killing himself, her waking up and actually killing herself, and last but not least his mother dying of a broken heart. The people that didn't die realized that the family feud was stupid and ended it after a large quantity of the main characters died.

Obviously Romeo is to blame for the deaths of 8 people. If there was an award for the most deaths within a short period of time he would get 1^st place. He was better off moping around his room in the dark instead of going out and putting people’s lives and social statuses at risk. Of course he didn't do it all by himself Juliet took part in the nonsense as well, but Romeo is the one who got the ball rolling. If he hadn't of let his emotions get the best of him then he would've realized how ignorant it was of him to marry someone he’d only known for a few hours. This and many other reasons are why Romeo is responsible for those 8 peoples’ death.
