It is said that actions speak louder than words. Well, Shakespeare’s famous play Romeo & Juliet also exists as a movie and it explains better and clearer how the love story between the two young lovers ended tragically. The blame could be put on the enmity between their two families, Romeo & Juliet themselves and the Nurse.

It was then predictable from the start of the movie that it was their parents’ strife which was responsible for their suicide as known that they were enemies. But it also caused a lot of deaths and injuries on the city because of their numerous strives.
When they realize the mess they have made up, Capulet and Montague finally accept their error and try to repair it all. Montague and Capulet, when they saw the dead bodies of their children and after the Chief of the Police informed them about how sad they have turned the city, recognize that it is by their fault and because of their selfishness that their two children died, and they consider it as the “sacrifice of their enmity”. They even agreed on building statues to remember their dear children and promised peace.
Romeo is also guilty of his own death. He assailed and killed a member of the adversary
