It all started when Benvolio told Romeo to "examine other beauties" so that he wouldn't be said that he loved Rosaline and she didn't love him back. Since they were young and naive they made bad decisions throughout the entire play which lead to their deaths. I believe that it was Romeo and Juliet who caused their own death. If he had given the correct message to Romeo, there would have been no deaths between the star-crossed lovers. This quote means that the messenger saw Romeo's overreaction, and didn't even try to calm him down along with messing up the message. I departed not and left him there" (Shakespeare). This letter he early bid me give his father,Īnd threatened me with death, going in the vault, To this same place, to this same monument. According to text it says, " I brought my master news of Juliet's death He was the one who delivered the news that Juliet was "dead" to Romeo, but decided to forget the most important part which was that she just drank a potion to get out of the marriage between Paris and Juliet. I believe that it was Balthasar who was at fault that both Romeo and Juliet died in the story. The Associated Press typically does not name people who say they have been sexually abused unless they come forward publicly, which Hussey and Whiting did.Vicky wrote: "Who do you believe is responsible for the death of Romeo and Juliet? Hatred between the two families? Friar Lawrence? Nurse? Fate? Lust? Perhaps, the folly of youth? You decide. The ruling relied on California law that is meant to protect the free speech of defendants from being squelched by lawsuits, and is often the first line of defense when lawsuits are filed.Īn attorney for Paramount declined to comment about the ruling. She quoted from an appeals court precedent that said child pornography is “particularly repulsive,” but “not all images of nude children are pornographic.” The judge, though, found that the plaintiffs “cherry-picked” from the law and failed to provide legal authority for why it should apply to “purported works of artistic merit, such as the award-winning film at issue here.” They had sought more than $500 million in damages. The actors said that the opposite occurred, that neither had the career the film’s success suggested, and that the fraud, sexual abuse and sexual harassment they underwent caused them emotional damage and mental anguish for decades. Zeffirelli told them they must act in the nude “or the Picture would fail” and their careers would be hurt, the suit said. In her written decision, she also found that the suit didn’t fall within the bounds of a California law that temporarily suspended the statute of limitations for child sexual abuse, and that a February re-release of the film did not change that. Mackenzie determined that the scene was protected by the First Amendment, finding that the actors “have not put forth any authority showing the film here can be deemed to be sufficiently sexually suggestive as a matter of law to be held to be conclusively illegal.” Superior Court Judge Alison Mackenzie ruled in favor of a motion from defendant Paramount Pictures to dismiss the lawsuit brought by Olivia Hussey, who played Juliet at age 15 and is now 72, and Leonard Whiting, who played Romeo at 16 and is also 72. A Los Angeles County judge on Thursday said she will dismiss a lawsuit that the stars of 1968′s “Romeo and Juliet” filed over the film’s nude scene, finding that their depiction could not be considered child pornography and they filed their claim too late.
