Romeo And Juliet Character Analysis

First, Friar Lawrence agrees to marry Romeo and Juliet to end the feuding between the families. He says, “In one respect I’ll thy assistant be:/ For this alliance may so happy prove/ To turn your households’ rancour to pure love.” (2.3.90-92). Secondly, he organizes a plan for Juliet to take the potion to fake her death. In the plan he also decides to send a message to Romeo explaining their plans but Friar John says “I could not send it – here it is again –/ Nor get a messenger to bring it thee,” (5.2.14-15) to Friar Lawrence so Romeo was never informed of the plan.

Beside Lord Capulet and Romeo, Friar Lawrence is also directly responsible for Juliet’s death. He makes not only one, but three major mistakes that all results in death of Juliet. To begin with he gives a potion to Juliet. At this time, Friar Lawrence is the only person that Juliet will fully trust, however, Friar Lawrence shows his irresponsibility by saying, “If…thou hast the strength of will to slay thyself…take thou this vial” (). In this circumstance, Friar’s plan is very risky for unstable Juliet. He decides to take risk rather than thinks for a better plan. Juliet’s fake death does fools all the people, however, Juliet will never lie on the monument if Friar Lawrence does not give Juliet the potion, and Juliet will not die at last. Next mistake that Friar Lawrence makes is he let Friar John to send the letter, who does not know how important the letter is. It is inexcusable to let someone else to do this urgent thing. Friar John shows his incompetence when he says “I could not send it, here it is again” (). The letter is one of the most crucial symbol in the play. To a certain extent, Friar John fails send the letter to Romeo foreshadow the play will have a tragedy ending. If Friar Lawrence delivers the letter by himself, the plan may proceed perfectly. The quotation

William Shakespeare has written thirty-seven plays, one of his most known is Romeo and Juliet. Romeo and Juliet, the main characters, fall in love but, they are rivals. No one approved of their love and they committed suicide three days after they were married. Capulet is responsible for the downfall and death of Romeo and Juliet because he didn’t stop Tybalt from trying to kill Romeo and he kicked Juliet out of the house. Some may say it’s Benvolio’s fault but he did not have control over the chain of events, starting at the Capulet costume party.

In The Tragedy of Romeo and Juliet, Benvolio said, “Alas, that love, so gentle in his view,/ Should be so tyrannous and rough in proof!”(1.1.165-166) Benvolio suggests that love seems nice, peaceful, and innocent, but in reality it can be disastrous and even deadly. A world famous author and poet by the name of William Shakespeare wrote The Tragedy of Romeo and Juliet in 1597. Romeo and Juliet is known as one of the best love stories in history. There are many significant characters in The Tragedy of Romeo and Juliet: Romeo, Juliet, Benvolio, Tybalt, the Nurse to Juliet, Friar Lawrence, Mercutio, Lord Capulet, and Lady Capulet. The Tragedy of Romeo and Juliet is the heart-wrending love story of two people who want to be together (Romeo and Juliet), but they cannot because their families are rivals. In the end, the two star-crossed lovers do not live happily ever after. Instead, they both perish. Why did their lives end so tragically? Ultimately, the prideful and foolish actions of the Capulets and Montagues, Friar Laurence, Romeo, and Juliet caused their untimely deaths.

Friar Lawrence makes not only one, but three mistakes that all lead up to the deaths of Romeo and Juliet. He gave a poison to Juliet, he trusted someone else with a letter of great importance to deliver to Romeo, and he fled at Juliet’s tomb instead of trying to help her.

Another reason, that Friar Lawrence is to blame for this tragedy is he was not sure if he could have found a way for Romeo to receive the letter about Juliet drinking a potion to put her in a temporary coma and that would've stopped Romeo from killing

The characters that were at fault for the deaths of Romeo and Juliet were Friar Laurence and Tybalt. Those two characters were the cause for the deaths of these star-crossed lovers. Friar Laurence helped them get married even though they were still kids. Then Friar Laurence knew that neither of the families would have accepted the marriage yet he went and married them. Also, Friar Laurence gave Juliet poison just because she didn’t want to marry Sir Paris when she was already married to Romeo and when Sir Capulet threatened to disown her if she didn’t marry Sir Paris. Friar Laurence had a lot to do with the tragic deaths of these star-crossed lovers known as Romeo and Juliet. Tybalt then wanted to kill Romeo because he’s from the rivaling family and he despised him.

“A man's greatest pleasure is to defeat his enemies, to drive them before him, to take from them that which they possessed, to see those whom they cherished in tears, to ride their horses, and to hold their wives and daughters in his arms.”, said Genghis Khan, ruler of the Mongol Empire. Shakespeare expands on this idea in his famous novel Romeo and Juliet. Romeo and Juliet tells a tale of two “star crossed lovers” born of rival families whose feud is continued by men battling in the streets, the two lovers try to get married and start a life together which is halted by the violence of men when Mercutio, Romeo’s friend was slain by Tybalt and Tybalt was slain by Romeo.

Juliet tries to find a way to run away and be able to live happily with Romeo. The plan she uses to try to do this fails and eventually leads to her and Romeo’s death. There is several people who can be blamed for this but the person who seems the most responsible for this tragedy is Friar Lawrence.

Juliet is the daughter of Lord and Lady Capulet. When the play begins, we learn from the nurse that Juliet is soon turning fourteen (“Even or odd, of all the days in the year come Lammas-Eve at night shall she be fourteen”). In Juliet's first meeting with her mother and the nurse, she seems to be an obedient and responsible child. She comes immediately when they call her and answers always respectfully to her mother: "Madam, I am here, / What is your will?" (“Act 1, Scene 3). She is also clever as when her mother asks her what she thinks about marriage, she gives an ambiguous answer by saying what her mother wanted to hear really: “it is an honour I dream not of” (“Act 1, Scene 3). We learn that she is

Shakespeare wrote Romeo and Juliet as a play about teenagers rebelling against the hierarchical society around them. Immediately from the prologue, Shakespeare's Chorus, acting as the eyes of society, describes Romeo and Juliet as “children” (PRLG, 11). They then continue discussing them solely in the context of their parents, first introducing the “two households” (PRLG, 1) and then the lovers as the progeny of "the fatal loins of these two foes" (PRLG, 5), prioritizing the parents over the children. There are more mentions of the adults than the teenagers in the prologue and this theme continues throughout the actions and language of the play. Michael Bogdanov's 1986 production for the Royal Shakespeare Company, while originally intended as a critique of "the conspicuous consumption of the idle rich", takes the view of the lovers as "victims of their parent's materialism" which lends itself nicely to themes we wish to emphasize in our production (Loehlin, 70).
