In William Shakespeare's play Romeo and Juliet, there is much controversy to who is to blame for the deaths of Romeo and Juliet. In this tragedy, the two family's on-going feud drives Romeo to kill one of Juliet's relatives and thus he finds himself banned from Verona.

Also, after Romeo kills Tybalt Juliet's mom says, I'll send one in Mantua, where that...
