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.

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.

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).

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.

Initially, Friar, who is Romeo’s closest advisor as well as a local religious figure, believed Romeo would not find out about Juliet on his own. He planned to send a courier so Romeo would know that Juliet was alive and well, awaiting him to steal her away. Sadly, the news never arrived. Instead, it came from Romeo’s friend, Balthasar, who had no idea of the plan.

How many teens hear the irritable phrase “don’t be so dramatic” directed to them during their youth? The answer is almost all young adults, and it turns out that science has the reason why. Studies prove that a teenager’s emotional stage is a very normal part of their brain-maturing process. The Art of Risk author Kayt Sukel writes, "With emotion amped up (from an increase of dopamine), [there is] an increase in gas and a decrease in breaks," (Sukel, 46). Sukel implies that there is less reasoning when making critical decisions, and instead more impulsive actions. She emphasizes that since teenagers’ brains are developing, their constantly changing dopamine levels result in more emotional responses and risky behaviors. William Shakespeare was

After Friar Laurence discovers that Friar John failed his mission, he realizes that Romeo won’t know to travel to the tomb. Even worse, Romeo might think that Juliet is dead. Romeo cries out, “Unhappy fortune! By my brotherhood, The letter was not nice but full of charge, Of dear import, and the neglecting it May do much danger” (5.3.17) This quote foreshadows the danger that follows. After Juliet’s “death,” Balthasar delivers the news to Romeo, and Romeo says that he won’t be able to live without Juliet.

Recently, our reporters were successful in getting an interview with Benvolio Montague, who was present during the duel between Tybalt and Mercutio and is an salient eye-witness. In his interview, Benvolio claimed that Tybalt was always looking to catch a fight with Romeo, but Romeo would always refuse to be in a duel with Tybalt. That morning when Tybalt was trying to provoke Romeo into a fight, Romeo yet again refused to have a duel with Tybalt, which made Mercutio Honor bound to take Romeo's place in the duel. In the end of the duel, Mercutio was stabbed by Tybalt and lost his life. Romeo was Infuriated by this and in order to avenge the death of his friend, he battled Tybalt and took his life in the duel.

The tragic drama of Romeo and Juliet written by William Shakespeare tells of two children of two wealthy families who are fated to fall in love despite their family feud. Romeo, the son of the Montagues, is an immature boy who craves love and is very impulsive in his decisions. Juliet, the daughter of the Capulets, is presented as an obedient, demure girl, however, she possesses a slight sense of rebellion and a maturity that Romeo lacks. These two protagonists meet at a party where they fall in love at first sight, and even after realizing the other’s family, cannot separate. Their ill-fated love will bring about their deaths, but will put an end to their family feud.

“Tis better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all,” Alfred Lord Tennyson. Many never experience true love in their lives, but amidst a family feud, love found it’s way into the young hearts of a star-crossed Romeo and Juliet. It was during a masked ball that Juliet’s father held, in hopes of his daughter marrying Paris, a relative of the Prince, that her and Romeo met and fell completely in love. Many would call this ‘love at first sight.’ They realized that very night that their families were sworn enemies, and no matter what, their parents would forbid them being together. However, this could not keep them apart, and so they exchanged vows of love, in hopes that marriage would end the war between their families, or so they thought.

Yesterday evening, only one day after Mercutio and Tybalt were seen dancing on the same floor of the Capulets, Mercutio was supposedly slain by the sword of Tybalt Capulet. The brawl took place in the town square of Verona. Witnesses claim that Tybalt began the fight, questioning Romeo’s nobility and name (Sepulcri). Romeo then declined the challenge, which caused Tybalt to show more dishonor. That is when Mercutio voluntarily took Romeo’s place in the duel, not allowing for his friend to be insulted. After good while of battling, Mercutio had lost, costing his life.

In Shakespeare's rendition of periodical Verona, feuds among houses can’t help but kindle and burn warm against the existence of Romeo and Juliet, fictional characters who are driven to suicide because their family never recognized their love as valid. These drastic lengths demonstrated in Shakespeare’s classic dramatic tragedy seem undoubtedly fictitious — but some may be surprised to realize that the restrictive elements that had once driven Romeo and Juliet to suicide mirror the present day conflicts that are riddled within the LGBT community’s everyday experiences. Shakespeare’s tragic portrayal of lovers who are chained by their family’s enmity and restrictive beliefs is parallel to the modern-day conflicts the LGBT community

Getting married is a huge change from the fast-paced single life, and “Death of a Bachelor” by Panic! at the Disco focuses greatly on the transition. The whole idea of the song is that leaving the single life and settling down guarantees a happy ever after. For Romeo, this is more than true. His marriage is one of the best days of his life. He knows that being married to Juliet will make him happier than he has ever been before. As the song says “a lifetime of laughter at the expense of the death of a bachelor”. The “death” of Romeo’s time as bachelor will ensure a wonderful life.

Since Romeo does not know the plan, he is full of sorrow when he hears that Juliet is dead, and he will risk his life to be with Juliet again in the afterlife. He says, “O, here / Will I set up my everlasting rest / And shake the yoke of inauspicious stars / From this world-wearied flesh” (5.3.112-115). Romeo will die happily because his burden and his unhappy fate will be lifted from him once he dies. When Juliet wakes up, she only sees Friar Laurence, and she says, “I do remember well where I should be, / And there I am. Where is my Romeo?” (5.3.161-162). Juliet is wondering why Friar Laurence is alone and not with Romeo, so she asks where Romeo is. Friar Laurence responds, “I hear some noise. Lady, come from that nest / Of death, contagion, and unnatural sleep. / A greater power than we can contradict / Hath thwarted our intents” (5.3.163-167). Friar Laurence wants him and Juliet to get out of the awful tomb because he hears unnatural noises. Friar Laurence told Juliet that fate had ruined their plans, and he informed Juliet that Romeo and Paris are already dead. Friar Laurence insures Juliet that he will find a place for her to stay, but Juliet does not want to leave because her life will become empty without Romeo. After Friar Laurence leaves Juliet without second thought, she grabs Romeo’s dagger and says, “This is thy sheath; there rust, and let me die” (5.3.183).
