Is Friar Lawrence To Blame For Romeo And Juliet's Death?

Friar Lawrence plays a big part in causing the death of Romeo and Juliet because he secretly marries them knowing something either negative or positive will happen. Friar even tells Romeo the cautions for he says 'Wisely and slow. They stumble that run fast.' (Act II Scene III 97) Friar marries them because he thinks that the marriage is going to end the feud between the families of Romeo and Juliet. He knows that even though Romeo and Juliet are in love they will never be able to see each other. Not in a grave to lay one in, another out to have” (Act II scene III 85) Also, if Friar Lawrence did not give Juliet the potion that she was going to use to deceive her family into thinking she was dead to get out of her marriage to Paris and make Romeo aware of what was going to happen, their deaths would not have occurred. Romeo goes to the tomb thinking Juliet is really dead after Balthasar accidently informed him of Juliet’s apparent death not knowing of her plan. If he had stayed there longer without taking the poison he had obtained from Apothecary they both would not have killed themselves. He brought the poison to the tomb to end his own life next to Juliet after seeing for himself if she was really dead. Romeo did not want to live without Juliet.

Friar Lawrence plays a major role in Shakespeare's play, Romeo and Juliet. Through his lack of organization and judgment, Friar Laurence is highly responsible for the deaths of both Romeo and Juliet.

There are three major points that lead to the that's of both Romeo, Juliet, and even Mercutio. The first was the marriage of which Friar Laurence had questionable intentions, the second was the plan that Friar Lawrence thought of which was risky and could have been taken care of another way, and finally the last is the disorganization and miscommunication responsible

Friar Lawrence was the most responsible for the death of Romeo and Juliet in several ways. He was just out of his mind. He made not only one mistakes, but many mistakes that all caused Romeo and Juliet's death. First of all, he made one major mistake that he could have prevent. He trusted a teenage girl, Juliet. Teenagers aren’t stabilize, and the most scaring thing is that most of them don’t think of the consequences of love. Friar gave her fake-death poison. This is crazy! This decision was a very poor choice on the Friar's behalf. Here, he shows his irresponsibility by saying, "If... thou hast the strength of will

The most blame for the deaths of Romeo and Juliet is fate. In the prologue, it says, “A pair of star-cross’d lovers take their life…” (Doc A). “Starcross’d” means that it is destined Romeo and Juliet are not to be together. Their love is cursed by fate to end in tragedy. The prologue also says “From forth the fatal loins of these two foes…” (Doc A). In Shakespeare’s

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,

First, Friar Lawrence is partially to blame for the deaths of Romeo and Juliet. The Friar is responsible for the death of the couple as he married the star-crossed lovers very quickly. At Romeo and Juliet’s wedding Friar Laurence says to the lovers, “Till holy church incorporate two in one” (2.6.37). This quote shows Romeo and Juliet getting married and the Friar’s involvement in their love which leads to many consequences. Him making the quick decision of marrying them while abandoning his own advice and not telling Capulet and Old Montague the truth was a poor decision as it leads to the deaths of Romeo and Juliet. It leads to their deaths because later on in the story, had Capulet known about their marriage

Friar Lawrence does not fully agree that Romeo is in love with Juliet, but because he believes this could end the feud he agrees to marry them, this is shown from this quote. Even though he thought he was doing the right thing, his decision ignored what could go wrong.

There has been many tragedies throughout time, caused by romance. The love story of “Romeo and Juliet” by William Shakespeare is an example of a tragedy and death caused by the connection between two star-crossed lovers. But who should truly be blamed for the death of Romeo and Juliet? Friar Lawrence is to be blamed for the deaths because of various events throughout the play.

This reveals that Friar Lawrence wants to marry them in order for the families’ feud to end and not for Romeo and Juliet's’ love. He was also against it because it was impulsive of Romeo to get married right away but again, wanted to clear up the feud. In addition, when Friar John told Friar Lawrence that he was unable to send the letter Friar Lawrence said, “But I will write again to Mantua” (V.iii.28) This demonstrates that he did not try to warn Romeo right away and that may have led to Romeo’s untimely demise. He also could have reached out to him sooner and may have been able to prevent Romeo’s death (simple).

Friar Lawrence’s well-intended plans seemed feasible but ended up being unmanageable. Although the attempt to prevent the conflict between the two oppositions was successful, the death of Romeo and Juliet is evidently not what Friar Lawrence had intended. In the tragic play, The Tragedy of Romeo and Juliet, the struggles of the two ill-fated lovers are clearly portrayed through a series of misfortunate events. Romeo and Juliet immediately express their overwhelming love towards each other, shortly after their first unexpected encounter. However, since Romeo’s family, the Montagues, and Juliet’s family, the Capulets, are in a hostile feud, they decide to consult Friar Lawrence for help and support. Ironically, due to the Friar’s ill-conceived

Friar Lawrence only agreed to marry Romeo and Juliet because he wanted to put an end to the capulet and montague feud. We know the Friar only agreed to marry Romeo and Juliet to end the feud we know this because he says “ Thy assistance be for this alliance may so happy prove to turn your households rancor to pure love.” So in that he was just marrying them so that he can be the great person who ended the feud. Another reason I think Friar Lawrence is responsible for Romeo and Juliet's death is because if it wasn't for the Friar Juliet would have never taken the potion that would make her sleep for 42 hours and he promised her that when she woke up Romeo would be there waiting for her and so would he. We know this because he said “Hold.

Friar Laurence was also responsible because he gave Juliet the sleeping pills that made everyone think she was dead, but he knew otherwise instead of letting everyone know that Juliet was fine he kept it to himself. Friar Laurence felt guilty that he tried to send Romeo a letter stating that Juliet was fine and that she will recover knowing that what he did could lead to a lot of danger he gave the letter to his right hand man Friar john. Friar John was unable to send the letter to Romeo because according to him he was held captive because" The city officials suspected that he was in a house

In Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare, Friar Lawrence was mostly the cause for the deaths of Romeo and Juliet. Despite his intentions were good, a string of illogical and stupid decisions from Friar Lawrence led to the downfall of the two lovers. Throughout the play, he further shows his lack of care by constantly attempting to flee situations that seem threatening to him. Although Friar Lawrence did not physically kill Romeo and Juliet, he unwittingly contributed to their demise by marrying them without parental consent, concocting an escape plan for them, providing the means to carry out this plan, and then abandoning Juliet, while she was distraught.

“For never was a story of more woe, than this of Juliet and her Romeo” (5.3.320-321), is said in the tragic love story of Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare. This classic Shakespearean tragedy would not live up to its name if Friar Lawrence had not caused the deaths of these “two star-crossed lovers” (Prologue.6), Romeo and Juliet.

This proves that Friar Lawrence is the cause for the deaths of Romeo and Juliet.

There is several people who can be blamed for this but the person who seems the most responsible for this tragedy is Friar Lawrence.
