Friar At Fault In Shakespeare's Romeo And Juliet

The Capulets are one of the responsible ones for the death of Romeo and Juliet because they weren’t supportive, they were uncaring, and impatient. When Juliet told her parents that she did not want to marry Paris, the Capulets wanted to disown her. “Hang thee, young baggage! Hang thee, young baggage! Disobedient wretch! I tell thee what: get thee to church o ' Thursday, Or never after look me in the face. Speak not. Reply not. Do not answer me. My fingers itch.—Wife, we scarce thought us blest. That God had lent us but this only child, But now I see this one is one too much And that we have a curse in having her. Out on her, hilding!” (3:5:170). Capulet was being unsupportive of his own daughters decision. If he did not force her to marry Paris, then Juliet would not have to come up with a way to get out of the marriage. Lady Capulet does not support her own daughter either. “Talk not to me, for I’ll not speak a word. Do as thou wilt, for I have done with thee.” (3.5.215) Lady Capulet stopped caring about what her daughter wanted. If she had listened to Juliet, hen Juliet would have not planned a way out of the wedding. Lady Capulet did not take Juliets feeling into consideration and forced her to finding a

For Juliet, Romeo was not the only man in her life. There was another man who wanted to marry the young Capulet. This man was Count Paris. Count Paris was a rich noble kinsman of the prince and much more settled than Romeo. The Capulets loved Paris more than Romeo which would leave no stress on family problems. Paris and Juliet could have been public about their marriage which was a luxury that Romeo and Juliet didn’t have. The County also didn’t get into as many fights as Romeo. Also Juliet could have benefitted from Paris’s marriage than Romeo’s. All these reasons added up make it clear that Paris would have been a better for Juliet.

Juliet and her father definitely had different ideas about her future relationships in this play. Back in that time period, the father of the family was the one who made important decisions for their children, which included who his daughter was allowed to get married to, even if they opposed their preference. So, in the play, Lord Capulet gives his approval to a man named Paris to marry his daughter because he had a promising future and was very prosperous and could provide Juliet with anything she might require. Although she had this option of spouse, she chose

However, the Capulet’s wouldn’t have done that had they known she was married to Romeo. Another solution would be Friar Lawrence not marrying Romeo and Juliet together knowing that problem would arise and that he would have to deal with it later on. One other reason you may believe that the Capulets are to blame is for feuding with the Montagues and causing grief with Romeo and Juliet’s love. On the other hand Friar Lawrence had many opportunities to say that Romeo and Juliet had married each other. This was the reason he married them just to stop that feud between the two families. So why did no one tell the families about this marriage? Friar Lawrence had an obligation after marrying this two young kids to tell the families in hopes of stopping this feud. He didn’t though. It seems as if he didn’t really care whether or not the feud between the kids stopped in the end. Another reason why Friar Lawrence is to blame and not the Capulets.

Juliet’s parents seem to not care about Juliet at all, they only care about keeping their families pride. In the book Juliet admits that she does not want to marry Paris and if her parents had actually listened to her she wouldn’t have wanted to figure out a way to leave the wedding. Capulet seemed to want the best for his daughter, but she didn't want to marry somebody she wasn’t in love with. and wanted to escape the marriage her father organized. But her plan of escape would result in death. Capulet's uncaring actions appeared in the first act, when he was planning a marriage between his daughter and Paris without her agreeing. Capulet also states "Of my child's love: I think she will be ruled. In all respects by me; nay, more, I doubt it not" (Shakespeare p. 79), that translates to “I think she’ll do whatever I say. No, I think she’ll do all that and more. I have no doubt about it”, which can seem a bit controlling. But, both Juliet’s and Romeo’s families can be responsible of their deaths because the tension caused between their families brought friction to Romeo and Juliet's decisions of who they love. Just as the Prince had blamed the families of Romeo and Juliet for their

In Romeo And Juliet, Friar Lawrence plays a very important role in not only being a friend of the lovers, but also the person who is to blame for their deaths. Many people argue about who is the one who caused their deaths; Friar always seems to be the most popular. There are different explanations on who is to blame for Romeo and Juliet's death, two big ones being Friar Lawrence and Nurse.

Romeo’s overly emotional personality and his obsession with love override his rational thought, which causes the deaths of Romeo and Juliet. After hearing of what is thought to be the death of Juliet, Romeo decides that he cannot live without his true love. In despair, he says, “Well, Juliet, I will lie with thee tonight./Let’s see for means. O mischief, thou art swift/To enter in the thoughts of desperate man” (V.i 37-39). Romeo then buys

Second, when Juliet was asked about marriage and when she wanted to be wedded, she told her parents she had no interest in marrying, and she thought she was too young. “Marry, that 'marry' is the very theme I came to talk of.—Tell me, daughter Juliet, How stands your disposition to be married? It is an honor that I dream not of.”(1.3.68-71) This is the first time Juliet is asked about marriage, and she clearly makes it known that she is not interested. Out of nowhere, Capulet arranges the marriage of Juliet and Paris on Thursday. Juliet says she does not want to be married to Paris, and says that she will not truly be happy. Lord Capulet does not like what Juliet says, and gets very angered with her. He even goes on to say that she is not welcome under his roof if she doesn’t marry him. Without having any support from her parents, Juliet feels very alone. First, she does not want to get married to Paris, and second, she is in love with a Montague. This is all frowned upon from both families, and the only people Juliet seems to trust are Friar Lawrence, and the Nurse. Unfortunately, Nurse even suggests she marry Paris, so the only people she feels are on her side are Friar Lawrence and Romeo. When Romeo and Juliet decide to take their own lives, the fact that they didn't have many other people besides themselves made suicide more appealing to them.They were desperate to be with each other.

Sometimes people can prevent bad things from happening. However, at the time they made their decision, they believed it was the best one. Some of these decisions made may mean life or death. In William Shakespeare's play Romeo and Juliet, Friar Lawrence is responsible for the deaths of Romeo and Juliet because he married them, he gave Juliet the potion, and he came up with the plan. Friar married them when he should not have.

The Friar decided that Juliet would fake a death and Romeo would come and save her so they could live happily. This plan included many scenarios where something could go wrong, and many things did. First, the Friar composed a plan for Juliet to fake a death, and Romeo would receive a letter in the mail being informed of the plan. This did not work out, causing the plan to erupt. On line 467, the Review and Anticipate reminds the reader that “the friar has sent a messenger to Romeo in Mantua, where he is living in exile.” (Shakespeare 467) It was the Friar’s fault for making such a complex plan that would have many

Friar Lawrence is at Fault True love is when the two people in the couple put their lives out for each other. In the play, Romeo and Juliet, by William Shakespeare, two kinds of people from families that hate each other, fall in love and are willing to take any sacrifice to live happily with each other, but in the story it's easier said than done. My argument is that Friar Lawrence was responsible for Romeo's and Juliet's death.

The Friar is to blame, because he married Romeo and Juliet. He had married them without telling telling their parents, which he should have done since he knew they were young impulsive children. Moments before the Friar had married Romeo and Juliet, he told Romeo “These violent delights have violent ends and their triumph die, like fire and powder…” 2:6:9-10. The Friar said this meaning he knew the relationship wasn’t going to last long, but he still married them.

In Shakespeare's famous play Romeo and Juliet, Friar Laurence is to blame for their deaths. Juliet is the only child of the Capulets and is supposed to marry Paris on her 14th birthday. Romeo is the only son of the Montagues. Romeo and Juliet meet when Romeo comes to a Capulet party without being invited. The two fall in love and are married the next day, but are then forced to separate when Romeo is exiled from the city. Juliet is forced to marry Paris, but the night before the wedding she takes a potion to make her appear to have died. Romeo thinks she has died and kills himself while lying next to Juliet in the tomb, minutes later Juliet wakes up to find Romeo dead next to her and kills herself. So Friar Laurence is to blame for their deaths

The death of Romeo and Juliet was a tragedy of its own. It can be blamed on Friar Laurence for the following: helped with the marriage. He helped with the death of Juliet. He also helped with the death of Romeo. Why was he important to this story? Why did he marry them?

Parents influence their children from the beginning, and they have a huge influence on their child’s life. Their job is to teach right from wrong and good over evil. The Capulets, however, wanted what was best for them and not what was best for their child, Juliet. The Capulets feud with the Montagues and impose that on their child. They also force Juliet into marriage with someone else and they moved the wedding day forward causing more stress to the already unstable child.
