Spoken by Friar Lawrence in William Shakespeare's famous romantic tragedy, and describes his support towards Romeo and Juliet; however, sometimes helping someone does more harm than good. In William Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet, support is shown in more than just one way. Friar Lawrence's willingness to support Romeo and Juliet ultimately causes their deaths.

The teenage couple was destroyed when they found out that Romeo was being exiled. Friar Laurence gave them hope, he told them about this plan that sounded as if it were out of a movie. He gave Juliet a potion that would make her appear dead. Friar was very aware of how much Juliet loved Romeo so he knew she would drink to him The potion could have killed Juliet, but she drank to Romeo anyways because she had faith that Friar would never give her poison.

Outside influences are nouns (with the occasional exception ) that cause change and/or conflict. Theses influences create the plot and events of Romeo and Juliet. People, disease, and death are the main outside influences in this particular Shakespeare play. It can be anything from friends to enemies, and even nature. They affect our actions, speech, and thoughts, and partake in our daily lives without us really even comprehending what they actually are or that hey are even there.

Outside influences impact Romeo and Juliet’s decisions and actions. If it wasn’t for outside influences Romeo and Juliet would’ve never met and got married. Benvolio and Mercutio were outside influences for Romeo. If they wouldn’t have talked Romeo into going to the Capulet’s feast, Juliet and Romeo would’ve never met. Capulet was an outside influence on Juliet. Since he gave Juliet a lecture about how she was going to marry Paris or move out and not be associated with them anymore, she wouldn’t have faked her death and Romeo and Juliet wouldn’t have died. Outside influences tend to impact our decisions more than people would think. If outside influences weren’t involved in Romeo and Juliet the story wouldn’t have been created. In this story

Romeo and Juliet is a beautiful story by William Shakespeare in which the reader observes the bold and rash character of Romeo. He falls in love at the first sight with his wife, Juliet. Their families have been feuding for generations; therefore, they make a plan to run away and live a life of joy. However, this plan falls through and many are killed throughout this dangerous journey including both lives of the lovers. Because he does not think before acting, Romeo is brought into dangerous and avoidable situations. His biggest flaw of being rash and rushing things affects himself and the people around him physically, mentally, and emotionally.

Friar Laurence,though he thought he was doing the right thing for the young teens, he really had a bad judgment.He carried the burden of their deaths forever. If he had delivered the message of Juliet’s death being fake, Romeo wouldn’t have gone to the apothecary and gotten a poison to kill himself. Instead of helping and supporting them to disclose their love situation, he looked for and chose “easy” way out of the sticky situation. He submitted to their dreams and hopes. He married Romeo and Juliet instead of encouraging them to come forth their families with the information about their affair As a result of their hidden affair, their stronger bond grew even stronger withen them was created when marriage: "For, by your leaves, you

After Juliet’s family told her she had to marry Paris she decided to fake her own death. The Friar then sent a letter to Romeo to rescue Juliet from the tomb. Then the letter the Friar sent did not arrive to Romeo due to the plague. Juliet could have at least waited to tell Romeo in person or discuss a plan ahead of time. Next, Romeo decided to go to the tomb Juliet’s “dead” (Shakespeare 459) body laid and commit suicide.

After Juliet drank the potion that put her in a coma, the Capulet family pronounced her dead and sent her body to their monument. Whilst this was occurring, Friar Laurence had to send a letter to Romeo to tell him that Juliet was still alive. Friar Laurence had to stay with Juliet, so he couldn’t deliver the letter. Instead of sending it himself, he gave the letter to Friar John and told him to take it to Romeo. On the night that Friar John was to deliver the letter, the city had to be put on lockdown for illness.

Romeo kept on forcing the idea upon him, so he marries them hoping that their marriage would end the Capulet and Montague feud, even though he did not ask for the parents’ consent. He displays his hope when he says, “For this alliance may so happy prove / to turn your household’s rancor to pure love”(Act I, Scene 4, Lines 91-92). Friar Laurence kept Romeo and Juliet’s relationship secretive, making the situation worsen. Later on, the Friar shows that he has regrets about the marriage. The Friar feels that, “Violent delights have violent ends / And their triumph die… too swift arrives as tardy as too slow” (Act II, scene 6, Lines 9-15). The Friar senses that the wedding is happening too quickly and doubts his decision. He had the potential to prevent the deaths of Romeo and Juliet, but his decisions led Romeo and Juliet to do reckless actions under his ideas. Friar Laurence’s thoughtless decisions led to the deaths of Romeo and

The news of Juliet’s “death” reached Romeo, he was depressed and suicidal. A few people knew of Romeo’s state of mind, including Friar Laurence, yet no one said or did anything to help him. Romeo went to Friar Laurence for guidance; he acquired a poison from him. He then went to visit Juliet’s body in the Capulet burial vault, he happened to run into Paris. Nothing could get in the way of Romeo seeing his beloved. Paris and Romeo started to fight; Romeo killed Paris with a hit to the chest. Romeo then reached Juliet’s body. With all that has happened, Romeo’s emotions got the best of him, and he committed suicide next to Juliet’s

Many people see daybreak as an analogy for a moment of clarity when reality becomes self-evident. Some call this moment an “inspiration”. This moment of inspiration is often followed by a self-elevating tide in which motivation is given to carry out a now coherent task. Shakespeare’s play is a prime example of this when Juliet experiences a moment of lucidity on whether she will see Romeo again, “O God, I have an ill-divining soul! Methinks I see thee, now thou art below,” (Romeo and Juliet.

Around the Elizabethan era there was the plague, plays, and Shakespeare. The plays had the lower class people stand on the ground and the higher up class stand up top.

The Tragedy of Romeo and Juliet is a play written by the famous playwright, William Shakespeare. This wonderful story of two star-crossed lovers, that are doomed by fate was written in 1595. Because Romeo and Juliet was written during the 1500’s, one can trace elements of this story back to both the English Elizabethan age and the European Renaissance. Traces of the Elizabethan age are found throughout the piece, one association to the Elizabethan age is the fact that Romeo and Juliet is actually a rewrite of Romeus and Juliet, a piece written by Arthur Brooke, in 1562, as well as the idea of two feuding families. However, traces of the Renaissance are also found throughout the piece, one relation to the Renaissance is the theme of uncontrolled

The next event that contributes to their deaths is Friar Laurance's faulty planning in the fake death of Juliet. Friar Laurance did not thoroughly plan the fake death of Juliet. He failed to inform Romeo that her death was fake. "I could not send it. Nor get a messenger to bring thee, so fearful were they of infection." (Act 5, scene 2, 14-16). Friar Lawrence did not stress the importance of the letter. As a result, Friar John did not see that it was delivered to Romeo. Another fault in his plan was informing Romeo of who was delivering the letter. "I'll find out your man,/ and he shall signify from time to time/ every good hap to your chances here". (Act 3, scene 3, 169-171) The Friar forgets to inform Romeo who would be bringing the message, that it would be one of his fellow Friars. In Act IV, Scene I Juliet goes to the Friar for advice. In his cell she encounters Paris, after chatting for awhile she requests to see the Friar alone, where the Friar tells her his plan. "Hold, then; go home, be merry, give consent/ To marry Paris: Wednesday is to-morrow:/ To-morrow night look that thou lie alone;/ Let not thy nurse lie with thee in thy/ chamber:/ Take thou this vial, being then in bed,/ And this distilled liquor drink thou off;" (Act 4, scene 1, 89-93). The Friar has not considered the all the possible outcomes of his plan. He tells Juliet she must drink the potion
