In the Shakespearean tragedy, Romeo and Juliet, Friar Lawrence was a monk, and a counselor, who came up with intricate plots and concocted a seemingly magical elixir in order to solve problems that the lovers encountered. Friar Lawrence had a profound impact on the outcome of this Shakespearean play; however, in a way that led to catastrophe. There are many factors that caused the deaths of the lovers, but two of the most important were how Friar Lawrence disregarded his own logic, and how he missed numerous opportunities to save the lovers.

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

In the play “Romeo and Juliet” by William Shakespeare, Friar Laurence is to blame for the deaths of Romeo, Juliet, and County Paris. Through his mistakes and errors in judgment, Friar Laurence brought pain in suffering into the lives of the citizens of Verona and killed two young people in their prime.

Friar Laurence is not at fault for their deaths because even though he got them married, it wasn’t his idea to get them married. It was Romeo and Juliet’s idea to get married, they just asked Friar Laurence if he would marry them. Also, it was not Friar Laurence’s fault that Romeo could not receive the letters informing him about Juliet and the potion. Friar Laurence had thought he sent the letters with another Friar, but that Friar was not able to get them to Romeo because of a plague going around. If Friar Laurence knew this would have happened, he would have figured out a different way to get the letters to Romeo. Therefore, Romeo is to blame for his and Juliet’s death since he let his emotions get the best of him. Romeo at the beginning was a desperate, sorrowful lover of Rosaline, who did not like him. He then falls in love all over again once he lays his eyes on his new-found love, Juliet, even though he was just grieving over Rosaline. He meets Juliet at the Capulets party, which he was not planning on attending, but Mercutio and Benvolio made him go to get his mind off Rosaline. When he meets Juliet, he immediately falls in love with her and says, “Did my heart love till now? Forswear it, sight!/ For I ne’er saw true beauty till this

The play Romeo and Juliet, had many tragic events such as the deaths of Romeo and Juliet. So many that we start to wonder what caused the deaths of these tragic lovers. I think that Friar Lawrence played a very big part in the deaths of Romeo and Juliet for these reasons. Friar Lawrence then married them in secret, he made too many promises that he could not keep and his plan is too rushed and that is why it backfired.

There is a thin line between love and hate.

These are the reason why I believe Friar Laurence is responsible for the most blame for Romeo and Juliet’s deaths. First of all, Friar married Romeo and Juliet with knowledge of them being from two rival families. In Act 2 Scene

In the play Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare, Romeo is a Montague and Juliet is a Capulet and they fall in love. Both their families are at feud with each other causing it to be difficult for Juliet and Romeo to marry each other. This causes the play to end with the death of both Juliet and Romeo. Friar Laurence the priest was responsible for the death of Romeo and Juliet because he is acting selfishly. He does not keep his word when he said he will be there when Juliet wakes up. And he let Juliet take the sleeping potion that made her look as if dead. William Shakespeare uses actions of friar Laurence to show that he is solely responsible

Romeo & Juliet still made their own decisions to take their lives, but other than that Friar Laurence is a big part in the fatality of the young couple. For instance, Friar Laurence marries Romeo and Juliet in a cell and allows Romeo to spend the night with Juliet (2.6 Line 20) . He planned on solving the family feud with the marriage "... To turn your household's rancour to pure love"(2.3. 92), but he did not make any arrangements to inform Montague and Capulet that he married Romeo and Juliet; he simply disappeared. This was also horrible decision because parents wanted her to to be

The deaths of Romeo and Juliet in William Shakespeare’s play are both appalling and upsetting, but unfortunately it seems that their death is inevitable, and they can’t escape their fate. The series of unfortunate situations that lead up to Romeo and Juliet’s double suicide is like the domino effect, one thing went wrong and tipped over and then everything came crashing down until there was nothing left. Although, there could have been much done to prevent this horrible fate of these “star-crossed” lovers, and there are plenty of people to put the blame on, but Friar Laurence plays an essential role.

The second reason Friar Laurence is responsible for the deaths of Romeo and Juliet is he married them. If Friar Laurence didn’t

The tragedy Romeo and Juliet, written by William Shakespeare, is the story of a young man and woman with a fatal love. The two were from feuding households, but when Romeo Montague and Juliet Capulet met, it was love at first sight. They desperately wanted to be together. The day after they met, Romeo and Juliet were secretly married. However, this would not be their happy ending. In a turn of events Romeo is then banished from Verona after he kills a kinsmen of the Capulet house. Juliet is then arranged to be married to the County Paris in only a few days. Juliet fakes her own death to prevent the wedding with the help of Friar Laurence. But when Romeo hears about Juliet’s “death” he kills himself, not wanting to live a life without his wife. When Juliet sees what her husband has done she does the same. There were many ways the death of the two lovers could have been prevented. In the end, many of the characters feel at least somewhat responsible for the death of their friends and children. Yet the person who should be held most accountable for this tragedy is Friar Laurence due to his poorly executed plans and his involvement in both of the lovers lives.
