Friar Lawrence In Romeo And Juliet

One of many reasons that Friar Laurence is to blame for the death of Romeo and Juliet is the marriage of Romeo and Juliet. Considering the marriage of Romeo and Juliet ended in death Friar Laurence is one to blame . In the text it states “Come, come with me, and we will make short work for, by your leaves, you shall not stay alone till holy church incorporate two in one.” This quote reveals the troubles Friar caused leading up to the deaths of Romeo and Juliet. Without the marriage of Romeo and Juliet the mishandle of the medicines would not have gotten out of hand leading to their deaths.

To begin with, being the most oldest person means you know how to handle a problem or able to make proper plans. You can also went through a lot of things when you’re young. You also hold the most responsibility out of all the people. In Shakespeare’s story Friar Lawrence was the adult of the story but he still manage to mess up plans and do secret plans.

In this quote Friar Laurence is telling Juliet to take the vial and to drink it when she goes to bed. This fluid (while going through her veins) will make her cold and drowsy and make it appear as if she does not have a pulse. However, her blood will continue moving naturally and will not stop. If the Friar had not given her the vial, Romeo would not have heard the news that she was dead and therefore would not have killed himself in Capulet’s tomb. Another basis of accusing Friar Laurence of the deaths of the two, is the fact that Romeo did not receive the information about the plan. The Friar tells Juliet, “In this resolve. I’ll send a friar with speed/To Mantua, with my letters to thy lord” (IV.i.1123-124). The Friar is telling Juliet that he will send a friar to Mantua with a letter, saying their plan. He should have sent the letter personally and not relied on another friar to deliver such an urgent and important message. Since the entire plan was his idea he should have followed through with it, making sure the information was

Friar Laurence is a Franciscan friar who aids both Romeo and Juliet throughout the whole play. Choices he made determined the outcome of the play and had he made different choices, the play may not have ended the way it did.

Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet discusses the many challenges the ‘star crossed lovers’ face. It is their own deceptive actions that ultimately lead them to their untimely end. However Romeo and Juliet are forced to be deceptive due to their fate and misfortune, the ongoing feud in Verona, and the misleading guidance they receive from others; which also contribute to their deaths. Romeo and Juliet focuses on the theme of love and hate, this theme is interweaved throughout the play.

Even though numerous characters in the play contributed to the death of Romeo and Juliet, Friar Laurence’s irresponsibility and lack of recognition makes him most to blame. To begin, Romeo proposes the idea about marring Juliet, a member of the Capulet Family by telling Friar Laurence “Then plainly know my heart's dear love is set on the fair daughter of rich Capulet (2.3.57-58). Romeo has completely forgotten about Rosaline, and now has focused his love onto Juliet. The Friar agrees with Romeo. Friar Laurence's decision is irresponsible because he agrees with the idea of members of opposite noble families being married. By marrying Romeo and Juliet, Friar is acting like Lord

A large part of trying to accomplish his goal are the three plans he makes for Romeo and Juliet to be together. The first plan was the marriage. The second plan for Romeo to get a pardon from the prince for killing Tybalt, Juliet’s cousin. That does not work out so Romeo consummates the marriage then says bye to Juliet before leaving to Verona. Juliet would then leave to Verona too. Friar Laurence does all this planning as the story goes on. If the plans are done correctly, it can lead to peace but if not, it can be dangerous and even deadly. He puts in much hard work and effort trying to make things go right. This is vital to have success. He has to make these plans off the top of his head as new problems arise. He knows how life threatening helping Romeo and Juliet

Throughout the entire play, Friar Laurence helps keep Romeo and Juliet together and their relationship a secret, encouraging their unrealistic hopes, and therefore is to blame for their deaths. Friar Laurence knows both families well, and their hate for each other, yet he misleads Romeo and Juliet to believe that their love can end their family's rivalry.

One of Friar Laurence’s major dramatic purposes in Romeo and Juliet is being a peacemaker. “For this alliance may so happy prove, to turn your households rancor to pure love (2.3.90-92).” Friar Laurence makes this statement thinking that if he married Romeo and Juliet, there would be peace between their families. However, the Friar already knew that Romeo and Juliet are not really in love with each other, but merely charmed by each other’s lust. “So smile the heavens upon this holy act that after hours with sorrow chide us not (2.6.1-2)!” Since Friar Laurence is known in Verona as being a holy man, he takes this marriage proposal as being a message sent from the heavens, and hopes that nothing unfortunate happens later. Soon after the marriage, Friar Laurence takes into consideration that the marriage he officiated between Romeo and Juliet was his own foolish idea and not a message sent from the

Friar Laurence’s character flaws greatly impacted the end result of the play. The Friar should be punished for his poorly made decisions throughout Shakespeare’s story. His first mistake was when he initially helped Romeo and Juliet with the aid of the Nurse. Both Romeo and Juliet are children and their parents should be included in every decision made for them. The Friar married Romeo and Juliet in Act 3 of the play. “Till Holy Church incorporate two in one” (3.1.37) The marriage was the start of many issues. Such as Juliet’s inability to wed Paris, being a married lady. This led to Friar’s next choice of giving Juliet the sleeping potion—making her appear dead. “Take this vial, being then in bed,” (4.1.93) Giving Juliet the poison was the reason why so many characters had died in the end of Act 5 of the play. Paris had died fighting Romeo because he thought he was attempting to steal Juliet’s “dead” body. Romeo, ignorant of the fact that Juliet was not dead, killed himself. Juliet committed suicide because of her fiancé lying next to her lifeless. The poison given by Friar

Friar Laurence plays a big role in this Shakespeare play and is constantly blamed for the death of Romeo and Juliet. The two lovers are constantly going to the Friar to help and to join them in marriage. Juliet has gone to the Firar for so many

The character that should be blamed the most in The Tragedy of Romeo and Juliet is Friar Lawrence. Friar Lawrence should be blamed because he was the one who married the couple after only knowing each other for like an hour. But what the Friar was thinking was a really good idea about marrying the two to maybe end the feud between the families. Then the Friar would be famous for the one who ended the feud between the Montagues and the Capulets.

Friar Laurence is the character most to blame for the tragic events in Romeo and Juliet because he married Romeo to Juliet. This is a quote from the scene where they are married,”Come, come with me, and we will make short work; For, by your leaves, you shall not stay alone. Till holy church incorporate two in one.” The next scene is when Mercutio and Tybalt are killed beginning the tragedy. The quote is what Friar Laurence says before the scene ends. This has some foreshadowing of the future. Almost immediately after the scene ends, Tybalt kills Mercutio. Romeo then retaliates killing Tybalt. This had Romeo banished. The tragedy begins to unfold as all

Friar Laurence is a priest in the city of Verona and a father figure to Romeo and Juliet in the play. Friar Laurence's rebellious actions show his many characterizations. Friar Laurence states, “These violent delights have violent ends / And in their triumph die, like fire and powder, Which, as they kiss, consume”(2.6-9-15). In this scene he is marrying Romeo and Juliet. While Friar Laurence knows what he is doing wrong, he continues; highlighting the contrast between his actions and the actions of moral priest. Friar declared, “Come, go, good Juliet. I dare no longer stay”(5.3-159). After the tragic death of Romeo, Juliet wakes to see him dead.
