Suicide In Romeo And 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’s father forces Juliet to marry Paris, and if she does not he threatens to leave her to ‘hang, beg, starve, die in the streets’. This arranged marriage with one she does not love compels Juliet to find an urgent resolution, and this resolution contributes to the deaths of Romeo and Juliet. The families’ feud contributes to the deaths of Romeo and Juliet, as they know that their relationship must remain unknown. The feud leads to delusion and deceit, and their eventual death. Ultimately, the feud between the families makes their deception necessary and inevitable; but this deception leads to their untimely deaths.

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.

In conclusion Romeo and Juliet had many things against their love in Shakespeare’s tragic play, but the three main characters to blame for what happened to them are the Feud, Lady Capulet, and Fate. All of these characters in some way pressured Romeo and Juliet to make the harsh choice of killing themselves. In the main characters eyes the choices that these three other characters made in the play gave them only one choice or they would have to live the rest of their lives forever unhappy without the comfort of each

So Juliet threatned to kill herself if Friar Lawrence did not

Because Friar John could not deliver the letter, Romeo receives the false news of Juliet’s death and decides to go to Juliet’s grave and kill himself next to her. To reach Juliet’s grave, Romeo kills Paris, a third unnecessary death caused by Friar Lawrence’s errors in judgment. Romeo proceeds to drink the poison “to my [his] love” and dies next to Juliet’s “dead” body (5.3.119). Friar

This proves that The Nurse does not have any pre judgmental thoughts about Romeo, that she believes in him, and is substantial because it solidifies that she is kind not only just to Juliet (Act 3, Scene 3, line 85-173). The Friar actually accompanies her in this scene, acting out the same behavior, attempting to keep Romeo from slipping into a deep depression at the thought of never seeing Juliet again. And When The Nurse is commanded by Lord Capulet to bring forth the news to Juliet that she must marry Paris, though reluctant as she is, she agrees that marrying Paris would be in her best interests, and The Nurse tells Juliet what she must do which is critical because it validates that The Nurse will do anything to keep Juliet from harm even if she does not like it. Although marrying Paris is not something Juliet wants to do, The Nurse knows that that is what is best for her, and Juliet lies and tells her that she will marry him (Act 3, Scene 5, Lines 176-246).

/ What she bade me say, I will keep to myself” (2.4 139-41). The nurse also pushed Juliet to marry Paris knowing she “loved” Romeo. Juliet asks the nurse for comfort for the banishment of Romeo and the soon-to-be wedding of her and Paris and the nurse

The Nurse gives good advice about marrying Paris but Juliet doesn’t accept it and gets the plan from Friar Lawrence. Romeo’s a dishclout to him. An eagle, madam, Hath not so green, so quick, so fair an eye As Paris hath. Beshrew my very heart, I think you are happy in this second match,

Juliet is forced to marry Paris and ask the Friar for help. “Hold, then, Go home, be merry, give consent/ to marry Paris. Wednesday is tomorrow./ Tomorrow might look that thou lie alone:/ Let not the nurse lie with thee in thy chamber/ Take thou this vial, being then in bed,/ And this distilled liquor drink thou off...”(5.1.89-94). Friar’s plan was not perfect. Friar Laurence is a man that people trust and when his plan have some mistakes nobody will notice it. His suggestion leads to a chain of tragedy. When Friar tells Juliet to agree to the marriage it made the marriage forward a day. Which leads for not enough time to notice Romeo. Then, with Romeo not knowing anything, he did not think clearly and went to see Juliet. Which, then leads to the feud of Paris. That feud leads to the death of Paris.

Love is such a strong feeling. It can start a new journey or can also end a journey. The whole love and death are shown in William Shakespeare's play Romeo and Juliet. The tragedy of Romeo and Juliet’s death is caused by many situations and people, but the most blamed things are the feud between the families and Friar Laurence. These two things are most responsible for this tragedy.

Juliet comes the Friar and says that she will kill herself and even threatens to right there. The Friar’s response is to come up with a plan. “Hold then, go home, be merry, give consent to marry Paris. Wednesday is tomorrow night look that thou lie alone, let not the Nurse lie with thee in thy chamber. Take thou this vial, being then in bed, and this distilling liquor drink thou off, when presently through all thy veins shall run a cold and drowsy humour; for no pulse shall keep his native progress, but surcease; No warmth, no breath shall testify thou livest; The roses in thy lips and

Capulet then becomes very furious with Juliet after hearing that she does not want to marry Paris. He says to her, “ I tell thee what, get thee to church o’ Thursday, or never look me in the face. Speak not. Reply not. Do not answer me” ( III.v.163).

Why did they do this?! The play Romeo+Juliet by William Shakespeare is about a pair of ill-fated lovers who take their own lives and put an end to their parents’ feud. There are many things that happened to cause their death but one that stands out is Romeo’s exile. Romeo’s exile caused their death because it caused Romeo to not have knowledge as to what was happening in Verona, it caused them to have very little contact with each other, and it caused a wedge between them because Romeo’s could not have been seen in Verona.

After Lord Capulet's outrage at Juliet's refusal to marry Paris, the Nurse takes a different stance. She wants to protect Juliet. The Nurse responds from her soul and heart clueless of how Juliet would do anything for Romeo, “ I think it best you married with the County. / O, he's a lovely gentleman! Romeo's a dish-clout to him” (3.5.230-232).
