Romeo and Juliet 5 questions

Was it right for Romeo and Juliet to kill themselves because of their love for each other? Why or why not?
I think that Romeo and Juliet where way too hasty, they should not have killed themselves. If Romeo tried to not "defy the stars", he would have survived and learned that Juliet was not dead. And if Romeo did not kill himslef, Juliet would not have followed suit, as she only killed herself because Romeo was dead.

Was it right for Romeo and Juliet to run off and get married? Or was it foolish? Or both? Explain your response.
I think in that sitiuation of family, they should of run away and get married literly, like elope. you really can only answer this if you have the hindsight of Capulet forcing the marriage on Juliet, but if that did not happen it would be slightly better, however they will have to tell the family at some point.

Was it wise of Friar Lawrence to give the potion to Juliet? Why or why not?
The Friar was wise to give the potion to Juliet, as otherwise she would have killed herself. I do think that the Friar should have gone himself when someone had to deliver the message to Romeo, or atleast should have gone to the church earlier.

Do you think Juliet should have faked her death? Why or why not?
I think that Juliet should have just left with Romeo when he went to Mantua, it would be alot simpler than having to "kill" yourself, get buried and then have someone open the grave before you wake up and suffocate. the one problem is that the Capulet could try to track Juliet down.

Who was ultimately responsible for all of the death that occurred in the play? Why?
It would have to be the generations of the Capulet and Montague that had started the fight. If they had not started the fight, or made peace and swallow their pride, none of this would have to have happened.
