Near the end of act 5 of the tragedy of romeo and juliet whom does the prince hold responsible for the tragedy?

"Where be these enemies? Capulet, Montague See what a scourge is laid upon your hate, That heaven finds means to kill your joys with love. And I, for winking at your discords too Have lost a brace of kinsmen. All are punished."


What does kinsmen mean in shakespeare Romeo and Juliet?

"Kinsmen" meant exactly the same to Shakespeare as it does to you, unless you are thinking of the service club. Kinsmen are people who are "kin", who are from the same family. Your kinsmen are your relatives.


Who does the Prince blame in the end of Romeo and Juliet?

The Prince says: "Capulet, Montague, see what a scourge is laid upon your hate that heaven finds means to kill your joys with love. And I, for winking at your discords too, have lost a brace of kinsmen. All are punished." The Prince blames Capulet, Montague and himself. Clearly he is someone that blames the leader whenever anything goes wrong.


Why is Capulet not eager to renew a feud?

Because he is essentially a man of peace. He has nothing against the Montagues. He says "'Tis not hard, I think, for men so old as we to keep the peace." It is his servants like Sampson and Gregory who start the fighting and Capulet feels that he has to support his people. The same can be said of Tybalt, who is not a Capulet either, but a relative of Mrs. Capulet who likes brawling. Like the Prince, by winking at his servants' discords he loses a brace of kinsmen.


Who is Escalus in romeo and Juliet?

The prince states that hes got MONTAGUE IN HIS BLOOD, so he's a Montague. Actually the prince does not say that he has "Montague in his blood" at all. He does say: "Capulet, Montague, see what a scourge is laid upon your hate, that heaven finds means to kill your joys with love. And I, for winking at your discords too, have lost a brace of kinsmen." Capulet and Montague have lost their "joys", their children. But the Prince has lost kinsmen over and above those, and just two of them (Mercutio and Paris). The Prince, Mercutio and Paris belong to a family that is neither Montague nor Capulet. That is why Mercutio says, "A plague on both your houses." He is cursing Montagues and Capulets, but not his own house, which is different.

The lesson between Romeo and Juliet?

The main lesson of Romeo and Juliet is that when people fight, people get hurt. The Prince explains it in detail near the end of Act 5 Scene 3: Where be these enemies? - Capulet, Montague, See what a scourge is laid upon your hate That heaven finds means to kill your joys with love; And I, for winking at your discords too, Have lost a brace of kinsmen. All are punished. Montague and Capulet fought. Both families have lost their only child. Even the Prince, who only turned a blind eye to the fighting, has lost his nephews Mercutio and Paris. Fighting isn't good for people - it doesn't make you happy; no matter how entertaining it may seem at the time.
