Why is romeo to blame for both deaths in romeo and juliet?

The reason you can't find any evidence to blame Romeo for both their deaths is because he isn't exactly where the blame should be placed. some people would say it is his fault because if he would of waited a little longer then he would see Juliet wasn't really dead. You could also say Paris is to blame because if Paris lasted just a few minutes longer in his fight with Romeo than Romeo would get to juliet as she is waking up.You could also say it was The Friar's fault because of his over complicated plans when you could of just had both of them go to Mantua since Juliet said many times she would be willing to leave her family and verona for Romeo. Or If juliet just left with Romeo than neither of them would have died. But this doesn't happen because fate is controlling everything that happens in the play if you look in the prologue than it show fate plans for both of them to die and this event to end the Montague's and Capulet's feud. So in the grand scheme of life the only thing you can blame is fate because if anything that could of prevented this from happening exactly as it did fate would make it work and kill both Romeo and juliet and stop their families centuries old feud.

hes not in my opinion but people say he is because juliet took some drugs to make her appear dead so she would not have to marry someone else and then when romeo found her he thought she was dead so killed himself and then juliet work up and saw he had killed himself so she killed herslef because she didnt wanna be without him such a sickening love story erghhhhh

Well, I am not sure Romeo is to blame for the death of him and Juliet. Because had Juliet never faked her own death to be with him and had he gotten the messaged in time, he would have known that she was still alive and wouldn't have drank the poison. Juliet is the to blame for this train wreck, not Romeo. The thing is, people like to look for other people to blame for their shortcomings when they are the ones who is ultimately responsible for their own actions. Remember, I am the Captain of my fate and the Master of my soul. Life is about choices: we can choose to do the right thing, or choose to do the wrong thing. No matter which choice the person makes, it is their choice and they must live with the consequences of their actions.

If this is an assignment, first you must have developed the skill of inference. Without this, you are doomed to fail, as the answers do not appear explicitly in your text. Secondly, as I recall, I would simply disagree with the premise: Shakespeare used many tools to create his works or art. One was the "play within a play," another, the use of coincidence. All of Shakespeare, as with any other author, is a matter of interpretation. There is no right or wrong, unless it is clear that you have not read the play (by not citing examples) or, if you did not pay attention in class. In short, Shakespeare created events which were often BEYOND the control of his characters, after their decisions were made. Bottom line: As the prologue states, the feud between the families was so old, that all had forgotten why it had begun. This is the "Never was there a story of more woe, that this of Juliet, and her Romeo."

Because he was the male, and traditionally the male is suppose to protect the female and / or family from harm, thats the rules of life dating back to the medi-evil ages

Romeo isn't to blame. Well not entirely at least. If your topic is to explain why Romeo is to blame then just argue against it. Use the prologue to support your argument. It's basically saying that their fate is doomed from the beginning. However, it can also be argued that everyone plays a role in the demise of Romeo and Juliet. You could argue that our fates are all interconnected, therefore everyone has a part to play in the deaths of Romeo and Juliet. Our actions echo into eternity and we are all therefore responsible for our actions and how they may affect others.
