Friar Lawrence In Romeo And Juliet

First, Friar Lawrence is responsible for Juliet and Romeo death. First of all Friar Lawrence not make only one, but three mistakes that all lead to Juliet and Romeo death. First one is he gave Juliet the sleeping potion which makes her look dead so she wouldn’t have to marry Paris. In act 4 scene 1, he shouldn’t have given the potion to Juliet because of the potion Romeo thought Juliet was dead. Second one is trusting someone else with the letter who wasn’t even part of the plan. In act 5 scene 2, Friar Lawrence gives the letter to Friar John but friar john didn’t take the letter, no one did because they were all scared of the infection. Lastly, agreeing to marry Juliet and Romeo. In act 2 scene 3, he agreed to get the lovers married thinking

Had he done so, he could have informed Romeo that Juliet was alive, thus he could have prevented Romeo's death. Also, Friar Lawrence did not physically stop Juliet's suicide; he simply said "Come, come away... I'll dispose of thee among a sisterhood of nuns"(V. iii. 154-157), and ran away. Had he not been so hasty, he could have realized that the consequences of being caught trespassing are less punitive than those of abandoning Juliet. In fact, Friar Lawrence knew that if he abandoned Juliet, she likely would have committed suicide, because she threatened to so in the past "...And with this knife I'll help it presently"(IV. i. 54). Furthermore, he planned on solving the family feud with the marriage "...To turn your household's rancour to pure love"(II. iii. 92), but he did not make any arrangements to inform Montague and Capulet that he married Romeo and Juliet; he simply disappeared. Had he explained the situation to Montague and Capulet, at any time before the catastrophe, they would have trusted the friar, a holy man who everyone respected, and they would have hopefully dissolved their family feud. They did so in the end after the friar was forced to explain (V. iii). In brief, Friar Lawrence should have been more proactive, and he should have stepped in at the right time.

After Juliet woke up, Friar Lawrence told her about Romeo’s death and his plan to take her to a nunnery. When Juliet refused to leave and the watchmen were approaching, Friar Lawrence deserted her. Friar Lawrence did not want to deal with Juliet’s anguish and grief, as well as the problems of being found illegally in a tomb. This shows his total lack of loyalty and commitment to Juliet’s welfare, as well as his fear of having to explain an awkward situation to the authorities. After Friar Lawrence left, a distraught Juliet killed herself. Essentially, by abandoning an emotionally unstable girl wallowing in despair among dead bodies and and discarded knives, Friar Lawrence was instrumental in Juliet’s

Instead of sending Romeo’s regular messenger, Balthasar, Friar Lawrence sends Friar John to inform Romeo of the plan. Friar John however, is detained because of the bubonic plague and is unable to get the letter to Romeo. Friar Lawrence only had one job in this plan, and he didn’t complete it. Since, Romeo was unaware of the plan, he believes Juliet is actually dead and kills himself. Once Friar Lawrence finds Juliet awake and Romeo dead, he rushes out of the tomb assuming Juliet would follow.

Romeo and Juliet is a drama about two, young lovers who were brought together by either fate or the blindness of young love. However, there is a reason why it is a tragedy. Friar Lawrence is greatly responsible for the fate of Romeo and Juliet for several reasons. In the first place, a friar is someone who is meant to be a holy person and follow the laws of religious beliefs.

A factor to blame in Romeo and Juliet’s death is Friar Lawrence. Romeo asks Friar Lawrence to marry himself and Juliet. Friar Lawrence immediately refuses to marry Romeo and Juliet, but after looking at a cross in the church from a distance he suddenly changes his mind and tells the young Romeo that he will indeed marry the two

Moreover, Friar Lawrence makes the tragedy even worse through his terribly thought out plan involving Juliet’s “death”. Believing that the proposal would reunite the lovers and bring peace to their families, he declares, “Shall Romeo by my letters know our drift, / And hither shall he come; and he and I / Will watch thy waking, and that very night / Shall Romeo bear thee hence to Mantua” (4.1.114-117). However, his failure to predict the potential complications and ensure the plan’s flawless execution ultimately led to Romeo and Juliet’s untimely demise.

Shakespeare wrote Romeo and Juliet. Most people who read his story, don't really think Friar Lawrence is an important character. Is he? If so, why? Yes, Friar is important, without him there would be no marriage and no death. Also, some people wonder if he is good or bad. I believe he was good, because if it weren't for him then the conflict between the two families wouldn't have resolved even though it was in a tragic manor. He was the reason why Romeo and Juliet happen, he foreshadows the main events in Romeo and Juliet.

First, he has to worry if the potion even will work when Juliet takes it or even if she takes it at all. Then he has to worry about getting the word to Romeo about the plan which of course never happened. “But look thou stay not till the watch be set, For then thou canst not pass to Mantua; Where thou shalt live, till we can find a time To blaze your marriage, reconcile your friends, Beg pardon of the prince, and call thee back With twenty hundred thousand times more joy Than thou went'st forth in lamentation.” (4.2.100-105).
