A New View The story of Romeo and Juliet has characters that make the outcome of the play, these characters are the people that could have changed some of the events that took place in this tragic story. Two characters who could have done a lot to change the ending were Romeo and Juliet themselves, as well as Friar Lawrence. Most of the characters did have some impact on how the play concluded.

When he found out about Paris and Juliet's forced marriage he made a plan to help keep them together. Even though the plan did not turn out like it was supposed to he still tried to help the two teens in love. In the book he was a very patient man, but in Romeo + Juliet (1996) he was more angry toward Romeo when he asked about marriage. But in Romeo and Juliet (1968) he seemed more nervous.

Each personality would give you a different perspective on his character making him seem closer or further away in his relationship with Romeo and
The story of Romeo and Juliet, written by William Shakespeare, results in a tragedy where both main characters die. Friar Lawrence, a character Romeo and Juliet turn to for advice, is the cause of this tragedy. Friar Lawrence is responsible for organising the marriage of Romeo and Juliet, devising a plan to help Juliet fake her death, and he is responsible for the letter informing Romeo of this plan which does not arrive. These three events lead to both Romeo and Juliet committing suicide.

Thus the outcome of the play is tragic.Friar Lawrence is man who love too much and because he loves too much he helps out. Because of this a lot of useless violence appears in the play. “violent delights have violent ends” he foreshadowed the death of Romeo and Juliet. Another theme is that love can end hate. Friar believes this because he wantsRomeo and Juliet together married to end the feud between the two families .Without the secondary role of Friar Lawrence the outcome and themes of the play would be different.

There are many characters in the play of Romeo and Juliet that have important roles and unique characteristics. One of these characters is Friar Lawrence, a Franciscan monk who is an expert in plants and medicines. While the Friar does not appear in all parts of the play, he acts as an advisor to Romeo and Juliet and gets them married. Being an honest, trustworthy, and loving friend, Friar Lawrence helps keep Romeo and Juliet together while maintaining his character and not acting dual-sided or having a second nature. Throughout the later parts of the play, Friar Lawrence’s characterization remains consistent as he guides the two lovers through their troubles and eventually ends the family feud between the Capulets and the Montagues.
Juliet changes a vast amount during the play. In this essay I am going to explore the following points:
I feel that Romeo does not change very much in this play. He has many
Friar Lawrence is a character in William Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet that served as a mentor for Romeo and Juliet, the two star-crossed lovebirds. He served as a mentor and a friend throughout the entire play, and because of it, his life was forever changed. In the beginning of the story, we meet the friar and can see that he is a happy go lucky guy, frollicking through the fields and giving advice to Romeo. However, the friar has to deal with quite a bit more than a two lovestruck teens, and it changes him for the worse. By the end of Act V, all of the drama that had taken place had taken it’s toll on Friar Lawrence and he was very upset and seemed to have been broken by the events of the week. The first time that we hear him speak,

“For never was there a story of more woe than this of Juliet and her Romeo.” - William Shakespeare. This line was said at the very end of the play to show how bold and extraordinary the story was. In this essay it will be discussed how the characters changed throughout the story and how love affected all of them in different ways. In Shakespeare's play Romeo and Juliet it is illustrated that characters who feel the human need to commit will do outrageous things for the ones they love because of the humans fear of the future because they fear failure, people need something to drive us, and something to keep them going considering they wouldn't have a meaningful life if did not have something purposeful to do with it.
Juliet’s character is dramatically changed by the end of Romeo and Juliet, for she learns much about love in the process, going from cluelessness, to marriage, to obsession. In the beginning of the play, Juliet had never entertained the thought of love, and furthermore, marriage, describing it as “an honor that [she] dream[s] not of.” She does not know anything about love in that part, but she gets much more experience in the next act. Juliet loves Romeo later in the play, and even gets married to him, saying that her “true love is grown to such excess [she] cannot sum up sum of half [her] wealth.” It may not seem as if her love can get stronger, but Juliet is dying to love Romeo later in the play. Having lost Romeo twice, Juliet realizes
Oh lord oh lord the deaths that lie in front of me are all due to my greed to resolve the feud between the Montague’s and Capulet’s. I am stuck in-between to raging fires ready to consume my body and soul all because a single potion I created. Juliet’s fate was changed only because of me. The love of poor Romeo and Juliet is like a double-edged sword with both having to pay the great price of death. Their love was not accepted by this larger society of Verona. I thought I had the solution that would fix this havoc. Instead I have given this fire more oxygen to breath and grow. Their forcefulness of love for one another was so great it had the power to change the fate they saw in the stars. All I have wanted to achieve was peace, all I have
