The Destruction Of Young Lovers In Shakespeare's Romeo And Juliet

Their love was so strong that they both died for each other.In William Shakespeare's play Romeo and Juliet, Friar Lawrence is responsible for the deaths of Romeo and Juliet because he gave the poison to Juliet, he agreed to let someone deliver a very important letter to Romeo,and he fled Juliet at her tomb.The secret stayed hidden for a very long time. If Friar Lawrence would of not made these terrible mistakes attempting to kill themselves, Romeo and Juliet would not be dead.Friar made very careless actions regarding himself.One single person made an life changing situation.

Friar Lawrence was responsible for the demise of Romeo and Juliet. Firstly because, he married Romeo and Juliet way too quickly. Romeo was in love with Rosaline hours before he fell in love with Juliet and Friar Lawrence knew this. He told Romeo, ““Thy love did read by rote, that could not spell.../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. 88-92). In this quote, Friar Lawrence tells Romeo that he does not truly understand love because he went from loving Rosaline to loving Juliet so quickly, however, he still agrees to marry them. Friar Lawrence had no reason to act rash like Romeo and Juliet did. His only reason to marry Romeo and Juliet was to end the feud.

Friar Lawrence is responsible for the deaths of “Romeo and Juliet” . In the play “Romeo and Juliet” by William Shakespeare the two families Montague and Capulets hated each other. Juliet who was a Capulet, feel in love with Romeo,which is a Montague. Friar Lawrence gave juliet the potion to fake her death,And that caused Romeo to assume Juliet was which made him kill himself.

Friar Lawrence plays a big part in causing the death of Romeo and Juliet because he secretly marries them knowing something either negative or positive will happen. Friar even tells Romeo the cautions for he says 'Wisely and slow. They stumble that run fast.' (Act II Scene III 97) Friar marries them because he thinks that the marriage is going to end the feud between the families of Romeo and Juliet. He knows that even though Romeo and Juliet are in love they will never be able to see each other. Not in a grave to lay one in, another out to have” (Act II scene III 85) Also, if Friar Lawrence did not give Juliet the potion that she was going to use to deceive her family into thinking she was dead to get out of her marriage to Paris and make Romeo aware of what was going to happen, their deaths would not have occurred. 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. If he had stayed there longer without taking the poison he had obtained from Apothecary they both would not have killed themselves. He brought the poison to the tomb to end his own life next to Juliet after seeing for himself if she was really dead. Romeo did not want to live without 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.

A reason people may think this is because Friar Lawrence was unable to send the letter to Romeo in Mantua about how Juliet wasn’t actually dead. Well actually, if the Montagues and Capulets were at peace to start the story, Juliet would’ve never had to fake her death to be with Romeo. Therefore, Friar Lawrence is not to blame for the deaths of Romeo and Juliet because Friar Lawrence would’ve never been in that position if it were not for the hatred between the Montague family and the Capulet family. The hatred between the two families is the real reason for the deaths of Romeo and Juliet, not Friar

“For never was a story of more woe, than this of Juliet and her Romeo”, was said in the tragic love story of Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare. This classic Shakespearean tragedy would not live up to its name, if Friar Lawrence had not caused the deaths of these two star-crossed lovers, Romeo and Juliet. He had created the secret plans and gave most of the advice in the play, he did not check if the plans worked and he was worried about getting caught throughout the play after helping either Romeo or Juliet. This proves that Friar Lawrence is the cause for the deaths of Romeo and Juliet.

Romeo and Juliet is known as a tragic spin of events involving two “star crossed” lovers whose actions result in many deaths. A question worth asking is: who is to blame for this tragedy? There are many characters that the blame could be thrown upon, a lot of the characters made fatal mistakes ending in the death of others, but one character who seems to be the most responsible is Friar Lawrence. Why Friar Lawrence? Friar lawrence is the character most to blame for the tragic events in Romeo and Juliet because, he married Romeo and Juliet, did not see the consequences as he should have, and gave Juliet the vile full of poison.

First, Friar Lawrence is partially to blame for the deaths of Romeo and Juliet. The Friar is responsible for the death of the couple as he married the star-crossed lovers very quickly. At Romeo and Juliet’s wedding Friar Laurence says to the lovers, “Till holy church incorporate two in one” (2.6.37). This quote shows Romeo and Juliet getting married and the Friar’s involvement in their love which leads to many consequences. Him making the quick decision of marrying them while abandoning his own advice and not telling Capulet and Old Montague the truth was a poor decision as it leads to the deaths of Romeo and Juliet. It leads to their deaths because later on in the story, had Capulet known about their marriage

Thesis: In Romeo and Juliet, Friar Lawrence is the person to blame for Romeo and Juliets tragedy because he married them for the wrong reasons. He also created a risky plan that is part of the reason things ended so badly. Lastly, Lawrence covered up their marriage, which created more problems.

In the tragedy of Romeo and Juliet, I believe that Friar Lawrence is responsible for Juliet's and Romeo’s death. To begin, Friar Lawrence was the person who married Romeo and Juliet, hoping that the feud between their families would end. “Thy love did read by rote, that could not spell. But come, young waverer, come go with me. In one respect I’ll thy assistant be; for this alliance may so happy prove to turn your households’ rancor to pure love.” (Romeo and Juliet 2.3.96-100) Romeo goes to Friar Lawrence for advice and he agrees to assist him. In their plan of Romeo and Juliet getting married, Friar Lawrence believes that the two young kids could stop the hate between the two families. The last line says “For this alliance may so happy prove to turn your

In the drama “Romeo and Juliet” by William Shakespeare, I think that there are many people responsible for the deaths of the main characters. However, there is one character that I think has more of an impact than others. That character is Friar Lawrence. There are many reasons why just he alone is the main reason for the death of Romeo and Juliet. He is to blame because he didn’t follow through well enough with his plan. He also kept too many secrets.

However, their deaths are not entirely their fault. Friar Lawrence, Romeo, and Juliet were the most guilty characters that contributed to the tragic ending of William Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet. Friar Lawrence is one of the most guilty characters who contributed in the death of Romeo and Juliet. Not only was he uncautious in wedding Romeo and Juliet, but he devised a flawed and defective plan to keep them together. For example, Friar Lawrence in desperate hope and uncritical thinking wedded Romeo and Juliet in the afternoon of the day after they had met, “Come, come with me, and we will make short work; /

In the play Romeo and Juliet, by William Shakespeare set in Verona, Italy during the Renaissance, numerous people are responsible for Romeo and Juliet’s tragic endings. They may have killed themselves, but others could have prevented their deaths. Friar Lawrence, Tybalt, and Lord Capulet have the most responsibility in their deaths. Friar Lawrence orchestrates everything, he marries Romeo and Juliet, hides them, knows their secrets, and he gives Juliet a plan, all to stop the discord. He takes two families’ disagreements into his own hands when he shouldn’t have.

Friar Lawrence was definitely one of the “key contributors” to Romeo and Juliet’s death. What he didn’t know was that his decisions would cause the death of two young adults. One example was where he decided to marry Romeo and Juliet in secret. He had the intentions of turning the “households’ rancour to pure love.” (2.3, Line 93) This thought was idealistic and unrealistic. The marriage by itself wasn’t going to make it all better. He should have waited and told their parents before he married them as breaking it to them after could have resulted in a fight. Another key decision he made that led to their deaths was when Juliet was told he had to marry Paris or else she would be disowned. She goes to the Friar to seek for help in desperation or she says she will kill herself. The Friar says:
