What could have been done differently to avert tragedy

I am struck with horror by what I have done! I have not tried to understand my daughter, Juliet, and now she's dead! My only daughter killed herself because of Montague's son, whom she loved. Romeo killed himself as he loved Juliet and thought that she was already dead. The friar gave her a potion so that she and Romeo could run away together as Romeo was banished. Alas! Their plan failed and that resulted in both of their deaths! If only i did not force her to marry Paris! He also ended up dead in the end as Romeo killed him. what a tragedy! If only I were more understanding when Juliet said she did not want to marry Paris then she might have confided in me about Romeo. I am guilty of indirectly murdering my precious daughter.

Tybalt is a reckless young fool and he deliberately wanted to provoke a fight with Romeo. Mercutio was also at fault because he wanted to fight with Tybalt! In the end, both Tybalt and Mercutio died because of their own foolishness. If they had talked things over calmly, this would not have happened! If Tybalt did not kill Mercutio then Romeo would not be banished from Verona and Montague's wife would not be dead because she was pining for her son.

Both Romeo and Juliet's death would also not happen because if Romeo were not banished, they would eventually tell me and Montague about their marriage. But it is too late to be saying this things. I wish that Montague and I were not feuding. But now, we have finally made peace and this is the only good that has come from their deaths. But I am glad that the feud stopped before any more people would lose their lives.

The fight between the Capulets and Montagues that caused Mercutio's death

The cousin of Juliet , Tybalt , discovered that Romeo has joined the party that I have organised . Mercutio, the Montague's servant accompanied Romeo to the party to meet Romeo's beloved who is called Rosaline, but Rosaline had not met Romeo . As Tybalt have told me that he met the Montagues, I allowed them to stay at the party as I heard the villagers say that Romeo is a fine gentleman, and furthermore , I do not want to create a din in the party. As Tybalt is a hot-tempered man, he is not contented with the fact that I am allowing Romeo and his servant to stay at the party. He held his sword in front of Mercutio ,explaining that he wanted to have a fight with him . Romeo arrived and tried his best to cease the fight between them but to no avail. To Romeo's surprise,Tybalt's sword went under his arm and caused a fatal wound to Mercutio.Blood spurted out of the wound and Romeo, without a second thought , started a fight with Tybalt as Romeo wanted to take revenge for his servant. After a few minutes, Romeo killed Tybalt with his own sword. As Tybalt is my nephew , I do feel sorry for him as he was killed by Romeo.It was also his fault as he was the one who started the fight .Mercutio was innocent as he was killed because he was my enemy's servant. This is not fair to him as he was only working for the Montagues. Tybalt,on the other hand , deserve to die as he has no rights to kill other people just because he was the servant of the enemy.Furthermore,Mercutio did not provoke him in the party.

The account for the fight of the servants

I am very sorry for the fight between my servants and Montague's servants. The fighting all began when my servants provoked Montague's servants in an audacious manner. But Montague's servants started the fight physically by being the first to draw out their swords. I am also sorry for the actions of my hot-tempered nephew Tybalt, and my reckless action of conflicting with Lord Montague.

It was a good thing that my wife and Montague's wife stopped us from fighting. If not things would have gotten ugly and we might have both been killed. If the prince did not stop the fight, lives could be lost during it. I do not want there to be anymore deaths in our families.

It is true that there has been no punishment this time as the merciful prince has spared us. He told us that we would lose our lives the next time. I hope that there will not be a repetition of this behaviour between the servants.

All about myself

I am the Lord of the Capulets and I am 40 years old. I live in the great city of Verona. I have an enemy who is Lord Montague and we have a long family feud. We are always at war with each other. He is the vilest of dogs! Our servants are always stirring up fights in the streets and thus disturbing the peace of Verona. I bet it is always his servants that are provoking mine and not the other way round.

I have a family of three. Myself, my wife and my only daughter, Juliet. My wife is a beauty, with her deep emerald eyes and fiery red hair with a temper to match. She was my first and only love. She is slender, with a full figure. My daughter, Juliet, is also turning out as quite a beauty like her mother. Her ivory skin and creamy complexion attracts a good many young men. It is too bad that she already has a bethrothed, Paris. He is a relative of the prince and a suitable husband for Juliet. My nephew, Tybalt, is a reckless young fool. He will get himself killed one day. He is always provoking fights with the Montagues. But for a foolish young man, he does look handsome with dark good looks. He does have a few battle scars, though.

I have quite a lot of servants. I am just going to describe two of them as there are too many servants for me to remember all their names. Sampson is really rash. He is the one who always has his sword drawn first at any sign of provocation from the Montagues. He is very loyal to me and rarely loses in a fight. Gregory is the cautious one. He always thinks before he acts. He is the exact opposite of Sampson but they get along well with each other. There is also an old nurse that fusses over Juliet like she was still a child. She is quite plump with rosy cheeks and is loyal to Juliet.

My wife hates that I keep fighting with that Montague. She wants me to stop the feud and be at peace so that there will not be anymore deaths. She is very good at playing the pianoforte and likes to sew. Strangely, our daughter is nothing like her. She does manly things like riding horses without a saddle and archery. She is also quite kind to animals.

Even though my family likes very different things from each other, we still get along very well.
