Romeo And Juliet Blame

Friar Lawrence was responsible for the demise of Romeo and Juliet. Firstly because, he married Romeo and Juliet way too quickly. Romeo was in love with Rosaline hours before he fell in love with Juliet and Friar Lawrence knew this. He told Romeo, ““Thy love did read by rote, that could not spell.../In one respect I’ll thy assistant be:/For this alliance may so happy prove/To turn your households’ rancour to pure love” (2.3. 88-92). In this quote, Friar Lawrence tells Romeo that he does not truly understand love because he went from loving Rosaline to loving Juliet so quickly, however, he still agrees to marry them. Friar Lawrence had no reason to act rash like Romeo and Juliet did. His only reason to marry Romeo and Juliet was to end the feud.

As a matter of fact, he then married Romeo and Juliet, trying to end the feud between their families, but later on he knew he would be punished if the families knew he married them. Also when people were coming towards the tomb, he wanted Juliet to run and stay with the nuns so no one would know what he did. Friar Lawrence also rushed the part of the plan involving Romeo, that part failed, and that is where is all went wrong. Friar Lawrence is a hypocrite for not following his own advice he gave, and not sticking with his plan all along, stop the feud the Montagues and Capulets

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.

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.

Juliet wanted to get out of an arranged marriage with Paris so badly, she wanted to kill herself. She was also distraught because Romeo was banned from Verona, and she can’t see him. Friar Lawrence helped her plan to fake her death, he gave her a potion to make her fall asleep for forty-two hours. “Take thou this vial, being then in bed, When presently through all thy vein 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…”(Shakespeare 818). This quote helps show that Friar was helping Juliet.

The potion was able to have Juliet fake her death for forty-two hours and place her into a catatonic state. Juliet took this potion so she could get away with not having to marry Paris. According to act 4 scene 4 and 5, the nurse was the one to find Juliet deceased in her bed and is the one to tell Juliet's parents. When Romeo caught the wind with this tragedy he discovered that he couldn’t live his life without Juliet so he ended up killing himself. Friar Lawrence was to blame for this because the potion wasn’t necessary, Juliet could have stuck up for herself and decide that she didn’t want to marry Paris now. This is the second reason why Friar Lawrence is to blame for the deaths of Romeo and

These three reasons, along with others, prove that Friar Lawrence is to blame for the events that occur in Romeo and Juliet. He married young Romeo and Juliet together, which emotionally tied them to each other. He gave Juliet the escape idea and the sleeping potion. He also failed to inform Romeo of the rescue plan. He could’ve been a very desperate man in search of peace in Verona, but it led to the deaths of many; including those of the star-crossed

Whenever a problem occurs, there is always someone to take the blame, whether it be a war between two countries or an argument between siblings. In the play, The Tragedy of Romeo and Juliet, by William Shakespeare, it is no different. This story shows tragedy after tragedy and focuses on the tragic events that led the lovers to their deaths. However, there is much controversy surrounding who is to blame for the tragedies that took place. Some say that their families caused the deaths, while others say their counselor and mentor, Friar lawrence, is to blame since he married the two despite the potential consequences. Based on the facts, Romeo is to blame for all the tragedies that took place. Romeo acted infatuatedly, vengefully, and impulsively throughout this play, causing him to produce many tragedies along the way.

To conclude, many people can be blamed for the deaths of Romeo and Juliet. The main ones, in opinion, are Romeo and Juliet, themselves, and Friar Lawrence. Romeo and Juliet are obvious ones to blame. This is because they are the ones that thought they were in love. They are also the ones that killed themselves. It was their decision to die, so it is their fault. Friar Lawrence only played a part because they trusted him and he had a cause, so he also contributed to the tragedy when he could have stopped

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 first reason Friar Lawrence is responsible for Romeo and Juliet’s tragedy is that he is only marrying them for his own selfish greed. [William Act iv, line 91-92] For example in this quote Friar Lawrence says “For this alliance may so happy prove, To turn your households’ rancor to pure love.” This quote connects to my first reasoning because Friar Lawrence is talking about the hatred between the two houses. He only agreed to marry Romeo and Juliet because he knew that if it worked he could be the town hero. He’d be praised for bringing the two families together. Moreover, He caused many problems because of this marriage.

Friar Lawrence made a crazy plan that involved potions and such crazy things that could have had safe alternatives. Juliet could have been sneaked to Mantua with Romeo, instead, she took a sleep potion. Because of the Friar's actions, 3 people died all because of his decision. Friar had many choices he could've made instead of using his "skills" of making potions. The actions could be argued that he had little time to think of a reasonable time, the marriage was only 2 days away but he was still responsible for the deaths of Romeo and Juliet no matter the justification, he accidentally indirectly killed him.

Though we cannot know for sure, it is extremely likely that had Friar Lawrence not intervened, Juliet would not be in her family tomb with the dead body of Romeo next to her. If the friar had acted as a man of virtue would be expected to act then he never would have provided Juliet with such a potentially dangerous potion. The second mistake that the friar made was much later when Juliet awoke from her drug-induced slumber. The friar states to Juliet at this point, “I hear some noise. -Lady, come from that nest/Of death contagion, and unnatural sleep./…

The tragedy known as Romeo and Juliet can be seen to be their fault, because they are the ones who ended their lives. The blame should not be put on them but on other characters who pushed them to the end. Romeo and Juliet fell in love very fast, but couldn’t profess their love openly because of their feuding families. At the end of the tragic play they both kill themselves so they can be together for eternity. In the play “Romeo and Juliet” by William Shakespeare the Capulets, Friar Laurence, the Nurse, and the Prince can all be blamed for the deaths of Romeo and Juliet.

“ Take thou this vial being in bed, and take this distilled liquor drink thou off” ( IV.i.93-94). This shows that he gives Juliet the sleeping and directions on how she supposed to take the potion correctly. “ When presently through all thy veins shall eun a drowsy humor” (IV.i.95-96). Also he told her what it would feel like and how it will affect her. Based on the play the Friar lawrence had known about juliet wanting to fake her death. He suggested for her to drink the potion and still didn't go tell romeo anything that was going
