Friar Lawrence In Shakespeare's Romeo And Juliet

A reason people may think this is because Friar Lawrence was unable to send the letter to Romeo in Mantua about how Juliet wasn’t actually dead. Well actually, if the Montagues and Capulets were at peace to start the story, Juliet would’ve never had to fake her death to be with Romeo. Therefore, Friar Lawrence is not to blame for the deaths of Romeo and Juliet because Friar Lawrence would’ve never been in that position if it were not for the hatred between the Montague family and the Capulet family. The hatred between the two families is the real reason for the deaths of Romeo and Juliet, not Friar

Friar Lawrence is most likely the biggest to blame for these lovers’ deaths due to the fact that he has given the poison to Juliet which causes Romeo's death and then Juliet's. Friar Lawrence comes up with what seems like a phenomenal plan; fake a death, escape the city, and live happily ever after! Sadly, Friar Lawrence is making a fatal mistake; instead of simply telling Romeo of his and Juliet's plan, he plans on sending a letter through Friar John. To his surprise the letter does not go through! "After I found him, the healthy officers,/suspecting we were in a house infected by the plague,/boarded up the doors, and wouldn't let us out. So I couldn't go/ to Mantua"(5.2.6-9). As Friar John explains, he was suspected of having the plague and was not able to deliver the letter to Romeo. Although the letter seems like a liable idea, it is not nearly as reliable as simply informing Romeo of the actual situation. By simply speaking face to face with Romeo, Romeo will know the situation of Juliet and the poison and will not kill himself. Therefore, by giving Juliet poison and not informing Romeo, Friar Lawrence is to blame for Romeo and Juliet's

Some believe that Friar Lawrence is the main blame for all the tragedies. They say Friar started it all when he married Romeo and Juliet and sold Juliet the potion and encouraged her irrational thoughts on how to avoid her marriage between Juliet and Paris. “These violent delights have violent ends and in their triumph die, like fire and power”(Shakespeare, 418). This exemplifies the fact that Friar was aware of the events that could follow if he were to marry Romeo and Juliet. However, Friars intent was not to kill six people throughout the tragedies, and his intent was not to encourage Juliet to make irrational decisions. As a Friar, he is simply trying to make peace between the two families. He wanted peace among Verona and he hoped that marrying a member of each family would help him succeed this

Throughout The Tragedy of Romeo and Juliet Friar Lawrence, the mediator of the play, assists Romeo and Juliet through their many problems. Many people see the Friar as a spiritual guardian or mentor for this young couple. Friar Lawrence marries the two and attempts to mend their problems. For example, he attempts to mend Romeo and Juliet’s marriage when Prince Escalus banishes Romeo and when Lord and Lady Capulet try to force Juliet to marry Paris. When this spiritual guardian marries the young couple without their parents’ consent he knowingly oversteps his ecclesiastical duties. It is for these reasons, such as marrying Romeo and Juliet and trying to fix their problems, why Friar Lawrence is the man who causes this tragedy. In William Shakespeare’s

Friar Lawrence is the holy man who’s trusted and respected by other characters, and close friend of Romeo's and he also married Romeo and, therefore, blame for the death of them. Friar Lawrence is who to blame for Romeo and Juliet death.

dead and killing himself. The two families might have understood there children’s to marry each other if it was coming from a Friar. Lawrence could have also told Paris to not marry Juliet when

Foremost, Friar Lawrence is responsible for the deaths of Romeo and Juliet through his actions of hiding their marriage. Despite the fact that Friar Lawrence consistently expressed positive intentions throughout the play, he also knew that the relationship between Romeo and Juliet was tremendously risky and that he should not have approved of their marriage in the first place. Friar Lawrence was rather skeptical before the marriage, but he did eventually approve

Blame is easy to find in Romeo and Juliet, but who owns all the blame is the question. A lot of things could have contributed to the death of these two teenagers, but there is one specific thing that has the blame and power of their deaths. I have picked three possibilities for the blame and that is Friar Lawrence, Fate, and Lady Capulet. The person who I think holds the most blame is Friar Lawrence. I believe he holds it because in Document C it shows he is to blame because he decides to marry Romeo and Juliet and he thinks that is a good idea. He knows that they are young and do not exactly know what love is, yet he still decides that it is a good idea to marry the two.After Juliet is married to Romeo Juliet asks Friar Lawrence how to get out of marrying Paris. He then

I hold Friar Lawrence responsible for the deaths for Romeo and Juliet because he marries Romeo and Juliet,He keeps it all a secret from there parents,And he gives Juliet a sleeping potion to make it look like she is dead but she is really sleeping. Some People say that the nurse is to blame for Romeo and Juliet's death because she kept the secret that Romeo and Juliet are married away from there parents. However Friar Lawernce is to blame because he marries the kids without telling there parents. Friar Lawerence is too blame because Romeo asks Friar to marry the two

Friar Lawrence is the most to blame for the events that occur in Romeo and Juliet because he gave Juliet a sleeping potion which lead to a lot of people's death including Romeo and Juliets. When Juliet was seeking advice and confirmation from Friar Lawrence he advised her,

Friar Lawrence should have been more responsible. He is a grown man that should know that actions have consequences and most likely not have a good outcome. He could have came up with a foolproof plan if he would have spent time on it and not just throw something out there. He should know that they are young and that feelings

In William Shakespeare’s tragedy, Romeo and Juliet, two start crossed lovers take their lives when they Cannot be together. Friar Lawrence helps the couple become married and hopes this will end their parents feud. Friar Lawrence was the creator of the plan for Juliet to avoid her arranged marriage with Paris. He is unable to stick to the plan because he could not provide Romeo with a letter containing the plans.

Another reason why it is Friar Lawrence fault because why did he not tell Romeo that Juliet is still alive. Another example is Document C it states “ And, is thou darest, I'll give you the remedy.” In this quote it is saying that Friar Lawrence gave Juliet a remedy to act dead on the wedding day so she does not marry Paris. If Friar Lawrence did not give Juliet the remedy Juliet and Romeo would still

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.

Have you ever been blamed for something you didn’t know would happen? The play, Romeo and Juliet, was written by William Shakespeare. It was a tragic love story of two star-crossed lovers who struggled to keep their affair a secret from their families. I believe Friar Lawrence is to blame for the death of Romeo and Juliet because of the ideas and advice he gives to them. If the ideas of the Friar were more planned out and better thought out, the play could have ended happily, but alas, it doesn’t.
