   This would be a good question for the discussion board.  In my opinion, it is the fault of the families for being so stubborn and for hating each other for no good reason.  Their inability to see how much Romeo and Juliet loved each other and how much they longed to be together because of their own feud is truly selfish.  Had they been willing to set aside their pride, they would have been able to save the lives of Romeo and Juliet.

   Friar Laurence, Tybalt, and Juliet's father Lord Capulet
   Friar Laurence's marrying of Romeo and Juliet and the confusion generated by his other actions such as giving potion to Juliet which contribute the most to their deaths. Tybalt's actions (killing Mercutio) cause Romeo to kill him and thus be banished from Verona, and Juliet's parents cause Juliet to become enraged and make rash decisions.
