Friar Lawrence Pardoned Or Punished

One of the main reasons that Friar Laurence was held accountable for the deaths of Romeo and Juliet is because he married them. First of all, this marriage was done without the

The first reason why Friar Laurence is at fault because he married to Romeo and Juliet. Romeo went to Friar Laurence place to tell him about Juliet “ I have been feasting with mine enemy, where on a sudden one hath wounded me, that’s by me wounded”. After Romeo told Friar Laurence about how much he love Juliet and wants to marry her. Friar Laurence told Romeo he will marry them to, “ But come, young waverer, come, go with me, In one respect I’ll thy assistant be, for this alliance may so happy prove to turn households’ rancor to pure love”. Friar Laurence thought if Romeo and Juliet would of got married that would stop all the fighting between their families the Capulets and Montagues.

The reason that Friar is to blame is because he gave Juliet the drink to make her sleep which makes her family think she passed away. Which leads to Romeo committing suicide. If Friar Lawrence would not have given Juliet the drink maybe the marriage situation could have been avoided in a different way. ("DBQ: Romeo and Juliet: Who's to Blame". Doc. E)

One person who is to be blamed for the deaths of Romeo and Juliet is Friar Laurence. Although Friar Laurence is portrayed as a ‘good’ man – and seems to have/do no harm to the people of Verona – he is not completely blameless. In fact, Friar Laurence undoubtedly has the most blame for their death. In Act Two, Scene Three, Lines 90-95, Friar Laurence agrees to the marriage of Romeo and Juliet because Friar Laurence truly believes that if they were lucky enough, the two feuding households, the Capulets and the Montagues, would have their hatred between one another be turned into pure love. “O, she knew well/Thy love did read by rote, that could not spell./But come, young waverer, come go with me./In one respect I’ll thy assistant be,/For this alliance may be so happy prove/To turn your household’ rancour to pure love.” All Friar

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

Friar Laurence and the Nurse are to blame for the suicides of Romeo and Juliet through helping them be together and miscommunicating with others. First, Friar Laurence is to blame for the suicides of Romeo and Juliet because he arranged a secret wedding for the two. When Romeo comes to Friar Laurence to ask if he could marry himself and Juliet, Friar Laurence tries to tell Romeo no for a little while, but after a very little bit of persuading, Friar Laurence says “But come, young waverer, come, go with me,/In one respect I’ll thy assistant be;/ For this alliance may so happy prove,/ To turn your households' rancour to pure love.” (2.4.88-93). Without even thinking about the consequences of marrying Romeo and Juliet, especially in secrecy, Friar Laurence does it anyway. Romeo and Juliet’s death could have easily been prevented if Friar Laurence thought his actions through about marrying them. Secondly, the Nurse and Friar lawrence are to blame for the suicides of Romeo and Juliet by helping them spend their wedding night together. When the Nurse, after she tells Juliet that Romeo was alive she says “Hie to your chamber. I’ll find Romeo/To comfort you; I wot well where he is./ Hark ye, your Romeo will be

Friar Laurence is at fault for causing this catastrophe. Friar Laurence is one of many who should have guided Romeo and Juliet’s love into a more stable situation. It was the Friar who married

Although, the Friar's intentions were well meant and were supposed to help the couple they did the opposite. The most obvious action he contributed to the ruination of Romeo and Juliet was his plan. The scheme consisted of calling Romeo back to Verona via letter and showing him that Juliet was indeed living. Going along with this plan is the Friar giving Juliet the sleeping potion. He also encouraged them to court each other, and to go so far as to marry them together. After the marriage, Friar Lawrence and Juliet's nurse worked together to bed Juliet. All of this adds up to have Friar Lawrence to blame for their deaths, even if he thought many of his decisions

Friar Laurence is not at fault for their deaths because even though he got them married, it wasn’t his idea to get them married. It was Romeo and Juliet’s idea to get married, they just asked Friar Laurence if he would marry them. Also, it was not Friar Laurence’s fault that Romeo could not receive the letters informing him about Juliet and the potion. Friar Laurence had thought he sent the letters with another Friar, but that Friar was not able to get them to Romeo because of a plague going around. If Friar Laurence knew this would have happened, he would have figured out a different way to get the letters to Romeo. Therefore, Romeo is to blame for his and Juliet’s death since he let his emotions get the best of him. Romeo at the beginning was a desperate, sorrowful lover of Rosaline, who did not like him. He then falls in love all over again once he lays his eyes on his new-found love, Juliet, even though he was just grieving over Rosaline. He meets Juliet at the Capulets party, which he was not planning on attending, but Mercutio and Benvolio made him go to get his mind off Rosaline. When he meets Juliet, he immediately falls in love with her and says, “Did my heart love till now? Forswear it, sight!/ For I ne’er saw true beauty till this

In the tragedy, Romeo and Juliet, written by Shakespeare, Friar Laurence is responsible for the deaths of Romeo and Juliet. To begin, Friar Laurence agrees to marry Romeo and Juliet even though he knows that their parents would not approve. To demonstrate, Friar Laurence prepares to marry the two lovers by announcing, “You shall not stay alone till holy church incorporate two into one.” (2.6.36-37) Pg. 1042. The evidence here suggests, that even though Friar Laurence knew it was wrong to marry the two lovers he did it anyways.

An equally important fact is that, Friar Laurence aids Juliet in coming up with a plan
