Is The Friar To Blame For The Deaths Of Romeo And Juliet

Throughout time, many tragedies caused by romance. For example, in William Shakespeare’s, The Tragedy of Romeo and Juliet, two star-crossed lovers take their lives. With all of the deaths, who is truly to blame for Romeo and Juliet’s death? Friar Lawrence and Capulet are to blame for the death of Romeo and Juliet.

He did not exactly make a mistake by choosing his next decision since Juliet did not give him much time to even think about it “If in thy wisdom thou canst give no help, do thou but call my resolution wise, and with this knife I’ll help it presently.” (IV. i. 53-55) Juliet is threatening the Friar if he doesn’t do something about it she’d kill herself so the Friar was in dilemma between either letting the girl killing herself and he would not get in any trouble for more lying or give her a potion that will help her escape her parents and live with Romeo in Mantua. Since he was a Friar he could not let a young girl get married twice and or kill herself so he gave her the potion that helped trick her parents into thinking she was dead and then she can wake up and leave with Romeo, and in the Friar’s mind this is a great plan and it’ll work out just

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.

“Then plainly know my heart's dear love is set on the fair daughter of rich Capulet.” was a quote of Romeo in the play Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare. This play is about two teenagers, Romeo, and Juliet, from feuding families who fall into love with each other, and it takes place in the city of Verona. Friar Lawrence secretly marries them, but then Romeo gets into a fight and gets banished forever. Juliet's father, Lord Capulet wants Juliet to marry one of the king’s men, Paris, but Juliet does not want to. The Friar helps her get out of marrying Paris. There are a lot of deaths in this book, and I believe that Friar Lawrence, and Lord Capulet are to blame for these deaths.

Sometimes people can prevent bad things from happening. However, at the time they made their decision, they believed it was the best one. Some of these decisions made may mean life or death. In William Shakespeare's play Romeo and Juliet, Friar Lawrence is responsible for the deaths of Romeo and Juliet because he married them, he gave Juliet the potion, and he came up with the plan. Friar married them when he should not have.

Friar Lawrence is at Fault True love is when the two people in the couple put their lives out for each other. In the play, Romeo and Juliet, by William Shakespeare, two kinds of people from families that hate each other, fall in love and are willing to take any sacrifice to live happily with each other, but in the story it's easier said than done. My argument is that Friar Lawrence was responsible for Romeo's and Juliet's death.

The Friar is to blame, because he married Romeo and Juliet. He had married them without telling telling their parents, which he should have done since he knew they were young impulsive children. Moments before the Friar had married Romeo and Juliet, he told Romeo “These violent delights have violent ends and their triumph die, like fire and powder…” 2:6:9-10. The Friar said this meaning he knew the relationship wasn’t going to last long, but he still married them.

A final reason that you can blame Friar Lawrence for the tragedy is that he could have waited by Juliet’s tomb for Romeo. If he would have done this, he could have explained the situation and this would have meant that neither Romeo or Juliet would have died in the

It is because of this potion that Romeo presumes her dead to begin with. The Friar’s plan appeared to be foolproof. Juliet fakes her death to escape having to marry Paris, then Romeo will come back from Mantua and they will run off together to live happily ever after. However, the Friar manages to mess up almost every part of this plan. The potion he gave Juliet only has a chance of working, considering that he made it himself, and how could he know the outcome of the potion. How many times has he helped someone fake their own death? “Take thou this vial, being then in bed,/And this distilling liquor drink thou off;/When presently through all thy veins shall run/A cold and drowsy humor; for no pulse/Shall keep his native progress, but surcease./No warmth, no breath shall testify thou livest./The roses in thy lips and cheeks shall fade/To paly ashes, thy eyes’ windows fall/Like death when he shuts up the day of life./Each part, deprived of supple government,/Shall, stiff and stark and cold, appear like death,/And in this borrowed likeness of shrunk death/Thou shalt continue two and forty hours/And then awake as from a pleasant

No matter what he is always getting others in trouble. Friar has to get other people into what he is thinking. He gave Juliet a potion instead of thinking of a better plan that would cause less problems, less people to be sad. If he would of thought of something better instead of going to the most dramatic plan first. He also had to get someone to do the work for him when he could’ve done it himself. Delivering the news that Juliet was not actually dead, like I said before, he could have done it himself. Friar just could not do it on his own so he sent someone

did was he secretly married them. If he didn't marry Romeo and Juliet when her parents tried to force her to marry someone else she would not have tried to run away with Romeo. The friar did not do his job. If the friar would of doing his job and delivered the note to Romeo then Romeo wouldn't of went to find Juliet and would've known that she is faking her death. In a way it was not all of the friars faulty, but he did play a big part in it was also the family's fault as well.

Everyone expects a happy ending, where the characters all live happily ever after at the end of the story. Well, not in this case. In The Tragedy of Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare most of the main characters end up dead. Through the journeys, hardships, complications, and miscommunications there is only one person responsible for the deaths of Romeo Montague and Juliet Capulet, Friar Laurence. The Friar is responsible because he gives Juliet a vial to make her seem dead, but she will eventually wake up.

“O Romeo, Romeo! Wherefore art thou Romeo?” (II.ii.36) This is an extremely famous line that most people familiar with world literature have heard. This famous quote is in the bittersweet book of Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare. The book is about Romeo, a Montague, and Juliet, a Capulet. The innocent lovers come from two feuding families but end up falling in love at first sight at a party that they meet at. The get married in secrecy but then Romeo gets exiled and Juliet can not live without him. She fakes her death to avoid her arranged marriage but then loving young Romeo finds her dead and kills himself. When Juliet wakes up and sees the love of her life dead she also kills herself. In the end this is a play with

The last reason why I think Friar lawrence is the cause of their death is because he agreed that Juliet needed to marry Paris. If he wouldn’t of agreed I feel like the wedding wouldn’t of even be arranged anymore. If he never would’ve agreed to marry them then Juliet wouldn’t have took the potion and drank it and Romeo wouldn’t of thought she was dead and killed himself, which also caused her death. None of these terrible things would've happened if they didn’t try to make her marry Paris.

Friar Lawrence should not have been blamed for the death of Romeo and Juliet. He should not be blamed for giving Juliet the potion because she threatened to kill her self if he didn’t. She said “Unless thou tell me how I may prevent it/ If in thy wisdom thou canst give no help/ Do thou but call my resolution wise/ And with this knife I’ll help it presently”(4.1 51-54). Friar Lawrence did not want Juliet to kill herself so he was forced to give her the potion. He intended on Romeo being together happily, and alive. His plan was unsuccessful because it was not in his hands. Friar warned them when they got married "therefore, love moderately; long love doth so"(2.6 12). He warned Romeo not get too carried away with their love, and to love Juliet calmly and sensibly. Romeo did not listen to his advice and made tragic decisions without thinking.
