Lor Lord Capulet In William Shakespeare's Romeo And Juliet

Their love was so strong that they both died for each other.In William Shakespeare's play Romeo and Juliet, Friar Lawrence is responsible for the deaths of Romeo and Juliet because he gave the poison to Juliet, he agreed to let someone deliver a very important letter to Romeo,and he fled Juliet at her tomb.The secret stayed hidden for a very long time. If Friar Lawrence would of not made these terrible mistakes attempting to kill themselves, Romeo and Juliet would not be dead.Friar made very careless actions regarding himself.One single person made an life changing situation.

Friar Lawrence is responsible for the deaths of “Romeo and Juliet” . In the play “Romeo and Juliet” by William Shakespeare the two families Montague and Capulets hated each other. Juliet who was a Capulet, feel in love with Romeo,which is a Montague. Friar Lawrence gave juliet the potion to fake her death,And that caused Romeo to assume Juliet was which made him kill himself.

This does not allow Juliet to make her own decision. An example of this is when Lady Capulet reinforces the plan in which Paris would be Juliet's husband, rather than letting Juliet choose who she marries. Lady Capulet speaks for Juliet when she says “marry, my child, early next Thursday morn.” Having little to no knowledge aforetime about this news, Juliet is utterly astonished. Lady Capulet continues by saying “[the] young and noble gentleman, the county Paris... shall happily make thee there a joyful bride” (III.v.112-115). After having already prepared her life with Romeo, Juliet is in disbelief that her mother would not attempt to step into her father's plan. Juliet lashes back at her mother by saying “I will not marry yet” and threatening that she would marry Romeo “whom you know I hate” rather than Paris (III.v.115-122). The lack of communication between the two characters makes them distant from one another, and the little effort provided by Lady Capulet to approach her daughter is the main reason for this occurrence. The control Lady Capulet has over different characters and her

He changes his mind very quickly and can flip-flop between what he wants for Juliet. For example, as Paris and Capulet are talking to each other Paris asks Lord Capulet for his permission to marry Juliet. Capulet then replies, “My will to her consent is but a part. And, she agreed, within her scope of choice lies my consent and fair according voice.” (1.2.17-19). In this quote, Lord Capulet is saying that his decision is only a part and if Juliet agrees to marry Paris his blessing will confirm her choice. Soon after Tybalt’s death, Capulet and Paris speak to one another once again. Tybalt suggests marrying Juliet to stop her mourning over the death of her cousin, Tybalt, and Lord Capulet agrees. Once Lord Capulet hears Juliet’s perspective on not marrying Paris he threatens her by saying, “I tell thee what: get thee to church o’ Thursday, or never after look me in the face” (3.5.167-168). This quote shows that Lord Capulet is forcing Juliet to marry Paris or else she cannot return back home. He doesn’t listen to Juliet’s opinion and seems to not care if she is happy or not with the marriage. This proves that Lord Capulet is fickle and is most responsible for Juliet’s

Friar Lawrence married Romeo and Juliet secretly instead of encouraging them to talk to their parents. Maybe if they sat down and tried to rationally speak to them about loving each other, they could figure out how to settle down and not fight. Instead Friar Lawrence married them and caused chaos. “For, by your leaves, you shall not stay alone, till holy church incorporate two in one”(Shakespeare 778). Romeo and Juliet’s bond only grew stronger after marriage, which they couldn’t imagine a world without each other.

In document B, the Lady Capulet is questioning her about marriage asking if she can love Paris “The valiant Paris seeks you for his love… What say you? Can you love the gentleman? This night you shall behold him at our feast;”(DBQ: Who’s to Blame, Document B). Once again throughout the poem, Lady Capulet tells Juliet she has to get married “But now I’ll tell thee joyful tidings, girl… Marry, my child, early next Thursday morn...The County Paris, at Saint Peter’s Church, Shall happily make thee there a joyful bride” (DBQ: Who’s to Blame, Document D) and Juliet refuses because she was previously married to Romeo and getting married to two people without an annulment is a sin “...He shall not make thee there a joyful bride...” (DBQ: Who’s to Blame, Document D). Whenever her father learns of Juliet's refusal he goes wild “Hang thee, young baggage! Disobedient wretch! I tell the what: get thee to church o’ Thursday Or never after look me in the face: Speak not, reply, not do not answer me; My fingers itch”. Afterwards, Juliet begs Friar for a way to prevent this marriage and he gives her a potion. Him giving her the potion in the end killed Paris, Romeo and

Friar Lawrence is responsible for the marriage of Romeo and Juliet. Friar Lawrence is completely aware of the feud between the Montague and Capulet families, which does not deter him from organising the marriage of this young couple. With the hope of restoring peace between Montagues and Capulets by turning the “households' rancour to pure love” Friar Lawrence agrees to organise the marriage (II, iii, 92). Friar Lawrence expresses his doubts about this marriage only a few scenes later by saying, “so smile the heavens upon this holy act, that after-hours with sorrow chide us not (II, vi, 1-2).” Friar Lawrence hopes the heavens will approve of his decision to organise this marriage, as he does not want to regret it later. He says this as he recognises that Romeo is far too young to understand what love is and that he should not be in such a serious relationship. Even though Friar Lawrence knows that this marriage could have Romeo and Juliet punished by their families and that this decision

To begin Friar Lawrence marries them. Romeo goes to Friar Lawrence and asks if he will marry the two of them. The Friar agrees to marry them which obviously makes Romeo and Juliet happy. However there was a feud going on between the Capulet house and the Montague

He has planned for her to get married with Paris. “...Boo woo her, gentle Paris get her heart, My will to her consent is but a part….”. (DBQ: Who's to Blame, Document D). She knows that she cannot get married with him because she is married to Romeo so she says no to her father. Capulet does not take the news well and starts arguing with her. “...But fettle your fine joints ‘gainst Thursday next, To go with Paris to Saint Peter’s Church, Or I will drag thee on a hurdle thither. Out, you green-sickness carrion! out, you baggage!...”. (DBQ: Who’s to Blame, Document D). He does not want her talking or facing him at all if she does not marry Paris. This is the second time that he promises Paris Juliet’s hand in

In order to do this plan, Juliet would take a potion and wake up right before getting married to Romeo. “Hold, daughter, I do spy a kind of hope, which craves as a desperate an execution as that is desperate which we would prevent.” (4.1.75-77)In these two lines, Friar Lawrence is saying that there is hope in the situation they are dealing with. He is also saying that they can prevent the execution by following his plan. As Juliet hears him, she decides that she would take the potion as long as it can prevent Romeo from getting hurt or executed.Finally, Friar Lawrence decided to write a letter informing Romeo what was going on. Instead of himself giving the letter, he made somebody else give it to Romeo. By doing this, it caused many problems, resulting in Romeo and Juliet dying.“Within this three hours will fair Juliet wake. She will beshrew me much that Romeo Hath had no notice of the accidents; But I will write to Mantua, and keep her at my cell till Romeo come-” (5.3.26-30)In three hours Juliet will wake up. Friar Lawrence hasn’t been able to give Romeo the notice that Juliet is faking her

In the play Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare, multiple characters were responsible for the tragic ending of the play. One of the characters was Friar Lawrence who was a religious figure who married Romeo Montague and Juliet Capulet, two lovers from feuding families.Friar Lawrence is a mentor to Romeo and offers him advice about loving Juliet. Friar Lawrence cared for both Romeo and Juliet and married them despite knowing that the lovers were supposed to be sworn enemies due to their feuding families. He also rushed to Juliet’s tomb in order to make sure nothing bad had happened to Romeo or Juliet because Friar John’s failure to deliver the letter which was a crucial part of Lawrence’s plan to reunite the lovers. The letter outlined the friar’s plan and explained Juliet’s supposed death to Romeo but it didn’t not reach him in time which eventually led to the double-suicide of the lovers. However, Friar Lawrence concocted a poison which simulated a death-like state and gave it to Juliet which could have actually killed her which is a punishable deed. Friar Lawrence committed

In Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet, although many might point to Tybalt as the person responsible for the death of his own and Juliet it is actually Friar Lawrence, who should be responsible, Friar Lawrence, who is untrustworthy is most responsible because Friar Lawrence makes many bad choices throughout the play; choices that are unforgivable. The disloyal character of Friar Lawrence results in the deaths of Romeo and Juliet because he marries the couple, helps with Juliet’s fake death and runs away from the Capulet’s tomb. Friar Lawrence agrees to marry the couple, in the hopes that the marriage will end the feud between the Capulets and Montagues. Romeo asks Friar Lawrence to marry them as soon as possible.

The forbidden wedding of Romeo and Juliet could not have happened without the Friar. In the first place, the Friar agreed to marry Romeo and Juliet, knowing that it would cause problems for the two later on. Friar Lawrence states, “In one respect I’ll thy assistant be/For this alliance may so happy prove/To turn your households’ rancor to pure love”. The Friar is optimistic of Romeo and Juliet’s wedding functioning. Consequently, he decides to marry the star-crossed lovers. However, as time progresses, the Friar shares his regret about the matrimony, “too swift arrives as tardy as too slow” (2.6). Despite the fact Capulet wants the best for Juliet, he did not show any

In the drama “Romeo and Juliet” by William Shakespeare, I think that there are many people responsible for the deaths of the main characters. However, there is one character that I think has more of an impact than others. That character is Friar Lawrence. There are many reasons why just he alone is the main reason for the death of Romeo and Juliet. He is to blame because he didn’t follow through well enough with his plan. He also kept too many secrets.

Paris knows Juliet does not wish to marry him, yet this only makes him more determined to marry her as he sees Juliet as a prize, to show his superiority over everyone else. In today’s society, we would view Lord Capulet as a cold, unfeeling father because of the way he treats his daughter, but Lord Capulet is a prime example of Shakespearian fathers. His only wish is to make a good marriage for his daughter, but she rejects his help. Capulet doesn’t know Juliet has fallen for Romeo and so cannot be expected to understand why she doesn’t wish to marry Paris.
