Friar Lawrence Should Be Pardoned In Shakespeare's Romeo And Juliet

The nurse is very loyal to Juliet as shown in the past quote. The nurse is taking a chance at talking to Romeo for she knows that he is of the house of Montague and god knows the penalty for the interaction between.

Friar Lawrence is a valuable person in the book Romeo and Juliet. He offers advice and helps tries to help Juliet find a way out of marriage. He is a wise and sympathetic man. He is always looking out for people in need. When Romeo comes to Friar Lawrence because Romeo thinks he is in love with Juliet. Friar Lawrence takes his opinion into consideration, and tries to help him out, at the best of his abilities. Some critics argue whether or not it it was his fault for their death. It was truly his fault. Friar Lawrence is guilty for the death of Romeo and Juliet is because he gave Juliet the potion, he knew how Romeo would react the way he did, and he had left Juliet by herself when she found out Romeo was dead.

It was a shock to Juliet that she didn’t support as before. The nurse played as an important role to her, however it wasn’t how Juliet was expected it was going to happen. Juliet was left on her own to make some very important decisions at the age of 15. I believe that if the Nurse had been around to help Juliet things may have turned out differently. Strangely, she advised Juliet to forget about Romeo and marry Paris, betraying Juliet’s trust by advocating a false marriage: “I think it best you married with the County. O, he’s a lovely gentleman. Romeo’s a dish clout to him”(3.5.218). Juliet can’t believe that the Nurse offers such a course of action after the Nurse praised Romeo and helped bring the couple together. She could not have gone to Lady Capulet or Lord Capulet, because they would not have understood.

One character from Romeo and Juliet is Friar Lawrence, who should be pardoned. The first reason he should be pardoned is because, although he didn’t tell anyone about Romeo and Juliet, he had good intentions. He really just wanted to bring the two families together. The Capulets, Juliet’s family, and the Montegues, Romeo’s family, have been fighting for many, many years. Lots of deaths have occured because of this families feud. Another reason Friar Lawrence should be pardoned is because when Juliet said she was going to kill herself if she had to marry Paris, he did everything to get her out of that wedding. He gave her a sleeping potion, which made her sleep for 48 hours and made her look dead. “Unless thou tell me how I may prevent it./ If in thy wisdom thou canst give me

In dramatic literature, people are often responsible for the outcome. In William Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet, star-crossed lovers take their life so they can be together in the afterlife. In the final scene of Romeo and Juliet, Prince Escalus says, “Some shall be pardoned, and some punished/ For never was a story of more woe/Than this of Juliet and her Romeo.(5.3.318).” Several characters are responsible for the death of Romeo and Juliet.

This proves that The Nurse does not have any pre judgmental thoughts about Romeo, that she believes in him, and is substantial because it solidifies that she is kind not only just to Juliet (Act 3, Scene 3, line 85-173). The Friar actually accompanies her in this scene, acting out the same behavior, attempting to keep Romeo from slipping into a deep depression at the thought of never seeing Juliet again. And When The Nurse is commanded by Lord Capulet to bring forth the news to Juliet that she must marry Paris, though reluctant as she is, she agrees that marrying Paris would be in her best interests, and The Nurse tells Juliet what she must do which is critical because it validates that The Nurse will do anything to keep Juliet from harm even if she does not like it. Although marrying Paris is not something Juliet wants to do, The Nurse knows that that is what is best for her, and Juliet lies and tells her that she will marry him (Act 3, Scene 5, Lines 176-246).

The Role of the Nurse in Her Relationship with Juliet in William Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet

In Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet, Old Montague should be pardoned and Old Capulet should be punished. Old Montague should be pardoned because he never did anything wrong. Old Capulet should be punished because if he wouldn’t have forced her to marry Paris, she wouldn’t have killed herself.

The Role of the Nurse in Act 3 Scene 5 of William Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet

In Romeo and Juliet, some shall be punished and some shall be pardoned. In my opinion the Friar should be pardoned as he had only good intentions and tried to resolve the issues to the best of his ability. The Friar disclosed to Romeo, “This alliance [the marriage between Romeo and Juliet] may so prove/ to turn your households’ rancor to pure love.” (Shakespeare 2.3.98-99). Although his best efforts failed, the Friar only wanted to help and, seeing an easy way to end the fighting, he agreed to marry them. Furthermore, when Juliet went to Friar Lawrence for advice after she was forced to marry Paris he states, “I already know thy grief/ it strains me beyond the compass of my wits./ I hear thou must, and nothing may prorogue it,/ On Thursday

Lord Capulet should be pardoned for the deaths of Juliet and Romeo. During the party when Tybalt and Lord Capulet see Romeo at their party, Lord Capulet doesn’t get bothered with Romeo being there. Lord Capulet says, “Content thee, gentle coz, let him alone,” (Shakespeare I.v. 63). Lord Capulet says this because Tybalt wanted to fight Romeo for being at the party and Lord Capulet told him to calm down, and told him that Romeo isn’t doing any harm. That same night; Lord Capulet defended Romeo over Tybalt, he states, “ Well said my hearts- You are a princox, go,” (Shakespeare I.v. 84). These two quotes show that Lord Capulet had nothing against Romeo, and he chose peace over war.

Despite Juliet not always applying the Nurse’s influence to her relationship with Romeo, the Nurse provided advice that she believed would benefit Juliet the most. From the beginning of the young lover’s relationship, the Nurse helped arrange their wedding and displayed her loyalty to Juliet by saying to Romeo, “But first let me tell ye, if ye should lead her into fool’s paradise, as they say, it were a very gross kind of behavior, as they say” (II.iiii.141-143). Simply, the Nurse threatens Romeo and wants to confirm that his intentions are pure in his pursuit for Juliet. Showing her support for the new couple, the Nurse agrees to deliver messages between Romeo and Juliet and also agree to set up a cloth ladder so that Romeo can ascend to Juliet’s

“Your first is deadㅡor ‘twere as good as he were” (III.V.225) says the Nurse as she tries to convince Juliet to forget about Romeo. In The Tragedy of Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare, as Romeo is banished the Nurse sees an open chance to better Juliet’s perspective of the situation. The Nurse was just trying to help Juliet because Nurse knew that Juliet would not be able to see Romeo anymore, and told her to just be happy with Paris. Juliet not wanting to marry paris was one of the main reasons she killed herself. As it so happens the Nurse was one of the biggest supporters of Juliet marrying Paris. Because of her support in Juliet marrying paris, She should be blamed for for the death of Romeo and Juliet.

Throughout the play, the reader will see how Juliet and the nurse have a mother-daughter relationship. It shows that the relationship between the two is very strong, since they have been together from the day Juliet was born, and that the nurse has taken over Lady Capulet’s responsibility as a mother to Juliet. In Act 1, Scene 3, the strong bond is shown when the nurse says, “Peace, I have done. God mark thee to his grace, / Thou wast the prettiest babe that e’er

The Nurse treats Juliet in a very similar way to the Friar, but with a few notable differences. The Nurse believes that marriage is only for a sexual relationship, which means that she does not fully understand Juliet's love for Romeo. This explains why she thinks that 'Romeo is a dishclout to him'. The word 'dishclout' suggests that it's only Romeo's physical appearance that may be like this compared to Paris, but not how he is emotionally. This shows that the Nurse does treat Juliet as a human, although she does not understand Juliet fully.
