Friar Lawrence To Blame For The Deaths Of Romeo And Juliet

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

After reading this play, I believe Friar Laurence is at fault for Romeo and Juliet's death. Firstly, he sent only 1 messenger to Romeo, due to how important the plan was, he should have at least sent 2 or 3. Second, he made a plan that was super important and almost impossible. For example, trying to sneak into Juliet's tomb and break her out without getting caught. Something was bound to go wrong.

First of all the potion could have accidentally been the wrong thing and she could have been poisoned and killed right there. Second the Friar had Juliet drink the potion before Romeo knew about the plan. The Friar is a man of God and he had Juliet break the law and fake her own death. The Friar’s last fault in the story was that he did not wait for the letter to get to Romeo before telling Juliet to drink the potion.

In the play Romeo and Juliet, Friar Lawrence is to blame for the deaths of Romeo and Juliet because he wedded the two lovers, gave Juliet a sleeping potion, and left Juliet alone in the tomb after Romeo died. Firstly, Friar Lawrence is responsible for Romeo and Juliet’s death because he married the two young lovers. Friar Lawrence

Therefore, Friar Laurence put this plan into action without anticipating all the consequences to come. This shows how Friar Laurence decides things quickly without thinking. Similarly, Friar Laurence is also a very misleading person. Because of this, Romeo and Juliet are led to make terrible choices that ultimately lead to their deaths. One of the many bad ideas that Friar Laurence came up with was that Juliet should drink a sleeping potion the day before her wedding; Friar Laurence told her to do this so that people would think she was dead.

He gave this potion to Juliet at the spur of the moment instead of trying to come up with a less risky and more logical plan. This evidence shows that Friar Laurence’s actions when trying to help Romeo and Juliet was what actually killed them in the end. Although, others might say that it was not Friar Laurence’s fault, as he did not know that Friar John would get stuck due to illness. However, this is wrong because the Friar should have taken extra precautions with a plan as risky as that one was. In Act 4, Scene 3, Juliet is about to take the potion.

Friar Laurence’s character flaws greatly impacted the end result of the play. The Friar should be punished for his poorly made decisions throughout Shakespeare’s story. His first mistake was when he initially helped Romeo and Juliet with the aid of the Nurse. Both Romeo and Juliet are children and their parents should be included in every decision made for them. The Friar married Romeo and Juliet in Act 3 of the play. “Till Holy Church incorporate two in one” (3.1.37) The marriage was the start of many issues. Such as Juliet’s inability to wed Paris, being a married lady. This led to Friar’s next choice of giving Juliet the sleeping potion—making her appear dead. “Take this vial, being then in bed,” (4.1.93) Giving Juliet the poison was the reason why so many characters had died in the end of Act 5 of the play. Paris had died fighting Romeo because he thought he was attempting to steal Juliet’s “dead” body. Romeo, ignorant of the fact that Juliet was not dead, killed himself. Juliet committed suicide because of her fiancé lying next to her lifeless. The poison given by Friar

Even though there are many different views on who was most responsible for the deaths of Romeo and Juliet, through information in the text it is clear to see that Friar Laurence was most responsible. The Friar took it upon himself to marry the two in secret making them inseparable. The Friar came up with the plan that was doomed from the start and ultimately lead to the death of the two teens. William Shakespeare’s work was very controversial, Romeo and Juliet was no exception, it involved the death of many people and two suicides of teens just for

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

He is the advisor to Romeo and Juliet and guides them throughout the play. Even though he does it with good intentions, Friar Laurence makes several mistakes that leads to Romeo and Juliet’s death. Almost all the mistakes he made could have been avoided if he had just planned it out better and took time to carefully think about it. First of all, a huge mistake he made was giving Juliet the poison to make her appear dead. As a result of his carelessness, everyone thinks Juliet is dead causing her to be in a position that ultimately led to death.

In William Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet, the nurse and Friar Laurence play an enormous role. Not only does their advice aid Romeo and Juliet but their actions and the decisions they make throughout the whole play affects the whole outcome of numerous situations. Had the nurse and the friar not made the decisions they did, the tale of Romeo and Juliet might have not ended in tragedy.

According to Act V Scene III it states, “Come, I’ll dispose of thee among a sisterhood of nuns.” Juliet relies “ Go, get thee hence, for I will not away. Then Friar Lawrence left Juliet to be with her husband. According to this quote, it seems like Friar Laurence does not care for Juliet. He is only trying to protect himself from the watchman. He should not have done that because earlier in the book she was threatening to kill herself. According to Act IV Scene I, it states “ I long to die if what thou speak'st speak not of remedy. According to that quote, she's saying if you don’t have anything to fix this I will be able to take my own life to be with Romeo, hat s when Friar Lawrence gives her the potion and tells her to take it.He left her in a upsetting mood. Hs e had more of a chance to take her life. He should have conforted her, but he didn’t, and left her to be on her own. Then she had killed herself.

In the play, Romeo and Juliet, by William Shakespeare, Friar Laurence is responsible for their deaths. So many things were done wrong by Friar Laurence, that lead to their deaths. The first mistake that Friar Laurence made was to agree to marry the two in secret and without the permission of their parents. The next bad advice he gave, was when he instructed Juliet to fake her own death. The last wrong thing was giving the message for Romeo to an unreliable messenger. If any of these events did not take place, their deaths could’ve been avoided.

Friar Laurence makes not only one, but three mistakes that will eventually lead up to Romeo and Juliet’s death. The Friar’s first mistake was giving Juliet, an unstable fourteen year old, a powerful potion that would make her look dead, so she would not have to marry Paris. Friar Laurence actually shows his irresponsibility by saying, “Thou hast the strength of will to slay thyself…take thou this vial…no warmth, no breath shall testify the livest”( Act 4.1.). Had Friar Laurence not given Juliet the poison, she never would have been put in the position that she was in, which lead to her death.

Now Juliet is left alone in a tomb alone knowing that her is dead. Friar Laurence also was suppose to give Romeo a letter with a plan but it never got delivered to Romeo. Friar Laurence ask Friar John “ Who bare my letter, then, to Romeo”. Friar John answered back “ I could not send it- here it is again-”. That’s another reason why Friar Laurence is at fault for Romeo and Juliet death, Never got the plan out letter to Romeo.
