Romeo And Juliet Guilty

“If, rather than to marry County Paris,/Thou hast the strength of will to slay thyself,/Then is it likely thou wilt undertake/A thing like death to chide away this shame,/That copest with death himself to scape from it:/And, if thou darest, I'll give thee remedy.” (Act 4.1). This quote demonstrates that Friar wanted to put Juliet into a death like coma to hide her shame. While Friar was trying to help Romeo and Juliet he did end up having a mishap with the remedies and accidentally murdering both Romeo and Juliet, at this point of the play Friar was not aware of when Juliet would wake up and where Romeo would be when she woke. As Friar was unaware, there was a confusion of death between Romeo and Juliet, leading to there

The Tragedy of Romeo and Juliet is a book of fate and how everyone in the world affects the happenings of this world. The author of this extraordinary book is William Shakespeare. Although Romeo and Juliet killed themselves, there were many people responsible for their deaths. It is arguable that the parents of the two lovers, Friar Laurence, and Romeo and Juliet themselves were the most responsible, some could say that the other main characters like Mercutio, Benvolio, Tybalt, the Nurse, and Paris were involved as well. There were many people responsible for the deaths of Romeo and Juliet, although they took their own lives, they were not all to blame.

Guilt is an eternal wildfire that consumes dignity before God could even start. Guilt is subtly present in the play, Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare. The play uses that theme, including, love and humour as it circulates around the family feud of two families, the Capulets and the Montagues, while their heirs, Romeo and Juliet, go along the lines of being married, undermining the barriers in their blood. Moreover, the characters eventually commit suicide by the preferred hands of Friar Laurence, one of the play’s characters that should be best suited to be guilty of such tragedy. Through various mentions, the character exhibits acts and mindsets that hint the rightful agreement that Friar Laurence should be prosecuted for that crime.

Juliet has came to the conclusion that since Romeo is her husband, even though he killed her own cousin, that she should always have his back. Also, Juliet even threatens her Nurse, someone who she has trusted and has been with since birth. She threatened to have sores over her tongue. Juliet has had this passion, out of nowhere. She just met Romeo recently, and decides to be passionate about him because she thinks that marrying him will help the feud between the Montagues and Capulets and that Romeo is attractive, so therefore he is a good man. In fact, this isn’t true. Romeo has killed a Capulet over Juliet, Tybalt! Juliet’s passion about Romeo has driven her to do many crazy things. Lastly, Juliet feels the need to defend herself in the end. Juliet says that it is a good thing that Romeo killed Tybalt because Tybalt would have killed Romeo. She thinks it’s better to have Romeo alive than her own

Justice is defined as being fair, right, or lawful. To determine if an action is just, the question “was it morally right or wrong” must be answered. In law today, justice is determined through written rules or laws. Similarly, the novel Romeo and Juliet uses the idea of justice, for two lovers have families are at war, which creates great tension throughout the families. The two families, the Montagues and the Capulets often begin riots throughout the streets of Verona, which causes many complications for Romeo and Juliet, as well as challenges the idea of justice. In the novel Romeo and Juliet, written by William Shakespeare, justice was not achieved through the Prince’s ruling.

The deaths of Romeo and Juliet were ultimately caused by the family feud between the Montague family and the Capulet family. It is the family’s fault for their deaths is because if it weren’t for them, Romeo and Juliet wouldn’t have had to keep their love

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.

This led to Juliet’s suicide because by lying and saying she was crying for Tybalt, when she was really upset about the banishement of her secret husband, caused her parents to arrange her marriage with Count Paris. This caused Juliet to fake her own death to escape her marriage, Romeo to believe she actually is dead and kill himself, and then Juliet to wake up from her fake death, see Romeo dead, and kill herself. The secrecy in this plan to escape marrying Count Paris, their secret marriage, and the lies to Juliet’s family, is what leads Romeo and Juliet to their deaths.

Romeo and Juliet is known as one of the most popular love stories ever written. However, the play is not about love, but about death. William Shakespeare wrote this play to warn readers about the danger of hatred and impulsive actions. Romeo’s love for Juliet and his impulsive nature contributed to the deaths of Tybalt, Mercutio, Juliet, Paris, Lady Montague , and Romeo himself.

Usually, elaborate and complicated plans do not turn out the way that they are supposed to, especially in this scenario. Later in the play, Romeo is banished from Verona for killing Tybalt. Friar Lawrence tries to help the young lovers using a potion, “ a thing like death to chide away this shame, that cop’st with death himself to ‘scape from it...And if thou dearest, I’ll give thee remedy.” (183). This potion would make Juliet appear dead for 42 hours, and then she would arise. Giving an almost deadly potion to a 14-year old does not seem like a responsible measure to take. Friar thinks that when Paris sees Juliet dead, he will stop pursuing Juliet for once and Juliet will stay loyal to Romeo. Friar sends a “letter was not nice but full of charge of dear import, and neglecting it may do much danger.” (219). This letter includes the potion plot and what Friar’s intentions were. Unfortunately, Romeo never receives this letter and never gets to know that Juliet will stay loyal to Romeo,

Friar Laurence’s character flaws greatly impacted the end result of the play. The Friar should be punished for his poorly made decisions throughout Shakespeare’s story. His first mistake was when he initially helped Romeo and Juliet with the aid of the Nurse. Both Romeo and Juliet are children and their parents should be included in every decision made for them. The Friar married Romeo and Juliet in Act 3 of the play. “Till Holy Church incorporate two in one” (3.1.37) The marriage was the start of many issues. Such as Juliet’s inability to wed Paris, being a married lady. This led to Friar’s next choice of giving Juliet the sleeping potion—making her appear dead. “Take this vial, being then in bed,” (4.1.93) Giving Juliet the poison was the reason why so many characters had died in the end of Act 5 of the play. Paris had died fighting Romeo because he thought he was attempting to steal Juliet’s “dead” body. Romeo, ignorant of the fact that Juliet was not dead, killed himself. Juliet committed suicide because of her fiancé lying next to her lifeless. The poison given by Friar

Juliet ask Friar Laurens to help her avoid her marriage to Paris or she will kill herself. Friar Laurens comes up with a plan and gives Juliet a potion and tells her to fake her death. In Act 4, Scene 1 Friar Laurens tells Juliet “I hear thou must, and nothing may prorogue it, On Thursday next married to this county And, if thou darest, I’ll give thee remedy.” Although he didn’t force Juliet to take the potion he still came up with the plan to help Juliet get out of the marriage and meet up with Romeo, which failed because Friar Laurens sent another Friar to give Romeo the letter.

The Friar, knowing that the poison could harm Juliet, decides it is best to let Juliet decide, Juliet is not in the right mind nor is she old enough to decide these things yet the Friar allows her to decided and even tells her there is hope, this decision brings light on just how ignorant Friar Laurence was. All these mistakes can be filed up as just mistakes but there is one thing the Friar did that is the true reason Romeo and Juliet died. The Friar decided to send his own priest to Romeo instead of giving Romeo’s servant the message, we can tell the Friar has done this when Romeo ask his servant “Dost thou not bring me letters from the Friar?”(3.6.38). This leads to Romeo believing that Juliet is dead and eventually leads to Romeo’s suicide.

Friar didn’t want to have to marry Juliet to two people as that would be against the law. So, Friar then gave Juliet a sleeping potion where she was supposed to be asleep for 42 hours. This plan lead her family into great devastation. Friar knew that it was wrong to give Juliet the potion, but he thought that if he didn't she would proceed to kill herself right there in his cell. "If, rather than to marry County Paris, Thou hast the strength of will to slay thyself, Then it is likely thou wilt undertake A thing like death to chide away this shame, That copest with death himself to scape from it: And, if thou darest, I’ll give you thee remedy” (Shakespeare 453). Because Friar gave Juliet the sleeping potion he had to keep up his end of the deal by letting Romeo know the

Near the end of the play, Friar comes up with an idea to get Romeo and Juliet back together. With Romeo being banished to Mantua, he writes him a letter to explain what will happen and where it will take place. He then gives this letter to Friar John, who is supposed to deliver the letter, but it is later found out that he was held in quarantine and was unable to deliver it. While this is taking place, Friar Lawrence gives Juliet a vile and tells her to drink it, saying that it will put her in a death-like state for 48 hours. Once she is found “dead” she will be laid in the family tomb. Once the 48 hours are up, she will awaken and Romeo was supposed to come and take her somewhere safe where they can be together. This plan backfired when Romeo didn’t receive the Friar’s letter and took matters into his own hands when Balthazar tells him Juliet is dead. Because Balthazar believes Juliet is truly dead, Romeo believes that this is the news that was supposed to come from the Friar. Romeo then paid for a bottle of poison that he will drink when he lies next to Juliet. If Friar’s plan would have succeeded, they would be together and they could work out a plan to keep them both safe and end the family feud. Because the plan backfired, both Romeo and Juliet end up dead at the end of the
