Friar Lawrence In Shakespeare's Romeo And Juliet

Even though some people may see Friar Lawrence’s involvement with the two star-crossed lovers as a way to provide them with the happily ever after they had always wanted, once you look at the facts you will be able to see that he is the reason why they are both dead. Some key events were when Friar married Romeo and Juliet in the first place, he made poor decisions, and he gave Juliet the idea to fake her own death. Friar Lawrence is to blame because he knew that he would face dire consequences if the Capulet’s or Montague’s were to ever find out that he married their enemy’s kids.

The Friar should have known that they were just kids and they were rushing into things. In Romeo and Juliet, Friar Laurence says, “These violent delights have violent ends. Is loathsome in his own deliciousness, and in the taste confounds the appetite”- Shakespeare. Also Friar knew that just a couple days before Romeo had his eyes set on Rosaline. The Friar knew that this was too fast, but he married them anyway. The Friar married Romeo and Juliet despite their parent wishes. The only reason the Friar married the two children was because he thought the feud between the two families would end. However, this did not go as planned. The Friar needed to find a way out of this chaos. This goes to show Friar Lawrence is the most to blame and put not only his life on the line, but also the lives of Romeo and Juliet.

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.

Everything he does is mostly centered on creating peace.

Friar Laurence is the one to blame for the deaths of Romeo and Juliet’s. He is the one to blame because he gave Juliet a fake potion which made her pass out for a couple of hours and he didn’t let Romeo know. According to the Friar Laurence, “Unhappy fortune! By my brotherhood, the letter was not just a nice greeting. It was full of very important information. It’s very dangerous that it hasn’t been sent. Friar john, go and get me an iron crowbar. Bring it straight back to my cell (act 5, scene 2)”. Therefore, Friar Laurence had something to do with Romeo and Juliet death.

Friar Lawrence finds out about Romeo and Juliet’s love for each other but does not tell the two families about this. If he had told the families maybe Romeo and Juliet could have been able to date because both of the Lords are wise and would have consider let them get married to end the fued. However, if the families disapproved of Romeo and Juliet they could have ended their relationship in the beginning so that they would stop seeing each other. He also knew Romeo's love for Rosaline and how quickly he changed his mind he could have slowed him

First and for most, I personally believe that Friar Lawrence was the cause of Romeo and Juliet's death. I believe so because if he had not said anything to Friar John which is an untrustworthy individual no one woukd have never knew about the relationship between Romeo and Juliet.
