Everybody’s to blame except the two people who did everything.
I think you just encapsulated an entire school of thought on some social issues, alas. (Shades of Monty Python - "All right, all right, it's a fair cop. But society is to blame.") It may be some consolation to County Paris that in all the productions I've seen (OK, all two) the part with him and Romeo at the tomb is cut for whatever reason. Sometimes, he lives!
BTW, apropos of not much, did you ever see the Baz Luhrmann R&J? I didn't like it very much, but there was one absolutely inspired moment - when Friar Laurence is going to send the message "posthaste" and then you see him mailing something at the Post Haste delivery service. If I ever go into the package delivery business, I am so calling it "Post Haste."
