I'd be writing an essay on how Romeo's and Juliet's deaths aren't anybody else's fault but their own. Really, suicide is a sign of cowardice, and no matter what the situation is -- no matter how bad it is -- if you value your life, then you should strive to continue living and persevere. And to be honest, I think their love is immature and childish to get to the point of wanting to die without the other.
Yes, but you see, you'd fail. Because that wouldn't be answering the question. NarutoDude has told us that he must take it for granted that Escalus is responsible, and explain why.
It's apparently an exercise in writing a persuasive essay from a position that you don't believe in.
Besides, whose fault is it that the parents let it get to that stage? If Escalus had sent in the Department of Child Protection earlier, none of this would have happened. I'd be calling for a full commission of enquiry.
Not only that, Escalus was far too weak on the National Sword Association. These kids had no right to be roaming the streets of Verona brandishing weapons at age 14. It was a deeply flawed administration, with a totally dysfunctional police force.
And where the guards on Juliet's tomb? Why was it left open? What about the second knifeman theory? There are questions to be answered here that have been covered up for too long!
