The Nurse Is To Blame For Romeo And Juliet's Death

Some people may think the Nurse and Friar Lawrence is ultimately to blame for Romeo and Juliet deaths. The Nurse and Friar Lawrence both kept secrets. The Nurse told Juliet to marry Paris and the Friar knew Juliet was brave enough to take the sleeping potion and fake her death. Fate and

The Nurse played an important role in the play The Tragedy of Romeo and Juliet. If the Nurses’s presence in the play had been omitted, the play would have ended out differently. Her absence would have made Juliet’s thoughts and feelings harder for the reader to understand. Throughout the play, Shakespeare uses the Nurse for many purposes but, her main role in the play is as a confidante. She assists Romeo and Juliet’s secret marriage, until she learns about Tybalt’s death.

She’s often speak bad of Romeo in order to persuade Juliet to change her mind, chide Juliet for defending Romeo, yet she also arranges for Romeo to see Juliet in the night.

Despite all of these actions which ultimately ended in chaos, I don't think that the Friar or the Nurse were to blame for the deaths of Romeo and Juliet. On some level their actions did partake in what eventuated in the tragedy, but they came with the best intentions, with high hopes that they would be able to save a young couple's love and end a bitter feud. Friar Laurence did bring the families together, but it was with death rather than marriage. O brother Montague, give me thy hand. (V, 3, 232)

Whodunnit? You may think that while reading a mystery novel, but you wouldn't expect that question to be presented to you after reading the classic Romeo and Juliet. This tragic romance forbidden by both of their families has a well-known ending: their double suicide. But has anyone wondered who is to blame? The Friar? Romeo and Juliet themselves? No. The Nurse is clearly to blame for their deaths. The Nurse filled Juliet’s head with thoughts of romance, changed her mind about Romeo after his banishment, and assisted in getting Romeo and Juliet together secretly.

The Role of the Nurse in Her Relationship with Juliet in William Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet

     In Shakespeare’s play Romeo and Juliet the characters Nurse and Friar Laurence are to blame for Romeo and Juliet’s Problems.

As she was a mother-figure and confidante to Juliet, immense trust and guidance was expected of her. She however, destroyed this bond by referring to Juliet?s only love as a ?dishclout? and advising her that she ?thinks it best you married the county?, for he ?excels your first?. This then, results in Juliet alienating herself from her adviser-?thou and my bosom henceforth shall be twain?- and in due course killing herself.

In William Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet, Lady Capulet and the Nurse are responsible for the deaths of Romeo and Juliet because Lady Capulet is pragmatic and the Nurse is irresponsible.

The Character of the Nurse in Romeo and Juliet The Nurse has a very important role in the play, being Juliet’s closest friend and helping her in her illicit relationship with Romeo. Her position in the Capulet household is superior to that of a normal servant. She is very familiar when she talks to Lady Capulet, and at times oversteps the mark. She talks about the daughter she once had and lost, and it is evident that Juliet is like a replacement and the Nurse lavishes all her motherly love and protectiveness on Juliet.

William Shakespeare is known as one of the best writers of all time. Shakespeare wrote many sonnets and plays such as the classic Romeo and Juliet. “His name is Romeo, and a montague; the only son of our great enemy”(Romeo and Juliet 32). It was stated by one of the most appealing characters in Romeo and Juliet the Nurse.

The Nurse is the only other person that knew about the secret relationship between Romeo and Juliet. She was sort of Juliet’s messenger in the story, she told Romeo about the marriage and when he was going to see Juliet again. Then towards the ending of the story she started realizing that Juliet’s parents were not going to let her marry anyone but Paris. So Nurse tried to help Juliet realize that, and it only made Juliet more upset and run off to Friar. When Juliet was upset she told Nurse that she was going to pay respects, nurse knew that wasn’t true and did nothing about it, if Nurse would have stopped Juliet from going to Friar she could have prevented the whole plan and stopped the events leading to Romeo and Juliet’s death. But Romeo and Juliet made it very difficult for the Nurse and Friar help them because they wanted nothing but to be together and they wouldn’t wait for anything.

The Nurse in Romeo and Juliet The nurse in “Romeo and Juliet” is portrayed as being oblivious to her peers thoughts and prideful about having a mother like relationship with Juliet. Speaking wisdom, even when others do not care is one of the nurse’s prominent qualities. She says the first thing that pops into her head and does not think before she speaks.

The Nurse is greatly assisting Romeo and Juliet in their relationship, and because of the feud between the families, it is a necessity. The Nurse is a valuable person to Romeo and Juliet. Romeo calls for the Nurse to help him marry Juliet, by saying she has to go to confession. “Bid her devise Some means to come to shrift this afternoon”

The Nurse acting like a messenger, contributed to Romeo and Juliet’s death. Another reason the Nurse contributes to Romeo and Juliet’s suffering is by keeping Romeo and Juliet ’s marriage a secret from Juliet’s parents. During Act 2, in a conversation with Romeo in Friar’s cell she tells Romeo, “Is your man secret?
