The Relationship Between Romeo And Juliet

Romantic love stories are often ended with a tragedy, because of loss of passion or a loved one. These tragedies are often the result of one person’s actions that ended someone’s life or love. In the Romeo and Juliet play written by William Shakespeare, two citizens of Verona come together and fall deeply in love. Unfortunately their love comes to an end, along with their lives, because of a misunderstanding and a persistent feud between their families. Although there are many characters in this play that have contributed to Romeo and Juliet’s death, Friar Laurence is the person most to blame.

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.

the friar is saying that he wrote to Romeo but his letter was never sent. He had planned on Romeo receiving the letter and hadn’t thought of a backup plan. He had decided that after he went to get Juliet,he would write to Romeo again. Because he hadn’t been able to send the letter to Romeo, Romeo killed himself in the tomb with Juliet.

Romeo and Juliet was a classic romance novel about passion, love and tragedy, written and first acted in 1595. According to Alan Durband, many versions of Shakespeare's play Romeo and Juliet all relate to Shakespeare's understanding of early life in Verona. Romeo, a Montague, falls in love with Juliet, a Capulet, because he is romantically inclined. The Capulets and Montagues are feuding households His impulsivity caused a lot of people to die and experience emotional pain. Falling in love with Juliet was the event that started a chain reaction.

Romeo’s first went to visit friar Laurence to have him marry himself and Juliet. The friar responded yes to it, thinking about uniting the feuding families, rather

In Act IV of Romeo and Juliet, things start looking up for Juliet as Friar Lawrence gives her a potion to fake her death so she will able to escape with Romeo. Hurrying to the Friar’s cell to seek help, Friar Laurence tells Juliet to plead for forgiveness and she would drink a poison that will fake her death for 42 hours. Leaving Friar’s cell Juliet hurries home to plead for forgiveness and that she will agree to Paris’ marriage. After being forgiven Juliet is starting to have doubts about the potion, but drinks it anyways. Going on at the same time, the Capulet family is preparing for the wedding in the morning. In the morning, the Nurse discovers Juliet’s “dead” body and everyone is confused and saddened at the sight of their child

In the book Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare Friar Lawrence is guilty for the death of those young lovers. Friar is an honored and valuable man to the citizen of Verona City. Most of the time he was one of the persons, other than the nurse who helped them to fulfil their dream. The Friar directly and indirectly took part in the suicide for the wrong decisions he made every time to solve Romeo and Juliet's problems. He didn't make the right decisions at the right time, which caused Romeo and Juliet to suffer.

Through reckless decisions and snap judgment, Friar becomes the main enabler of the relationship when he is the one person who should have forbidden the affair. When Juliet comes to Friar in the first place asking him to marry her and Romeo, Friar says yes even though he is obligated to marry her to Paris. Friar is painfully aware of the scandal involved in Romeo and Juliet ’s relationship because he assists in hiding them and getting away with running away. This plan eventually blows up in his face and leaves him with two dead teenagers and two anger families. Due to Friar Lawrence, Romeo and Juliet were given false hope that they could live together happily.

When Romeo is banished from Verona after he killed Tybalt, the Friar decides to give Juliet a potion that would cause her to be “like death when he shuts up the day of life” until she wakes up “two and forty hours” later (4. 1. 95 - 108). Friar Lawrence also tries to send Romeo a letter to notify him of their plans (4. 1. 116). If the Friar had not given Juliet that potion, Balthasar might have not thought Juliet was dead and would not have told Romeo. If Balthasar did not tell Romeo that Juliet was dead, Romeo might have not went to the apothecary to buy a deadly poison to suicide with. Since the letter Friar Lawrence tried to deliver was never actually delivered to Romeo, Romeo never knew that Juliet was only sleeping. If he did know, he probably would not have killed himself. Romeo’s death was indirectly caused by the Friar, since his letter never got to

In the letter it told Romeo that Juliet took a vial that would put her to sleep for 2 days and that she was waiting for him to go get her so they could live happily together. “Hold! Get you gone, be strong and prosperous In this resolve. I’ll send a friar with speed To Mantua, with my letters to thy lord,” (Shakespeare 454). His mistake was that he did not get the letter to Romeo in time because the friar he sent was stopped by a disease. This caused a massive problem because Romeo thought Juliet was dead which then caused him to take his life and Juliet to take hers. “Here’s to my love! [Drinks.] O true apothecary! Thy drugs are quick. Thus with a kiss I die,” (Shakespeare 473). “Yea, noise? Then I’ll be brief. O happy dagger! This is thy sheath; there rust, and let me die,” (Shakespeare 475). The Friar should have made sure he got the letter to Romeo before Juliet took the vial so he would know that his wife is not actually dead and is just sleeping. It would’ve stopped Romeo and Juliet from taking their lives. Therefore, Romeo and Juliet could have lived happily together instead of being in a

First of all Friar Laurence is the one man that suggested a highly dangerous plan that will shortly kill Juliet until she is to be awoken from her “deep sleep”. This mixture could have very well killed her in the first place and its was Friar Laurence’s idea. When Laurence said “Now, when the bridegroom in the morning come to rouse thee from thy bed, there art thou

Nevertheless, Juliet is conscious of the fact that Friar Laurence's actions could easily fail with consequences following and decides to go through with the plan to reunite with Romeo by faking her death. Before drinking the mixture she stated “What if this mixture does not work at all?” Juliet revealed possible complications in Friar Laurence’s plan and attempted to prevent them by rashly deciding to place a knife nearby to commit suicide if she woke up before she was supposed to (4.3. 21). The vulnerability that Juliet expresses through act four presses her to follow the rushed plan even though she knows there will be terrible

In Act III, Juliet contemplates all the consequences of drinking Friar Laurence’s potion and determines that she will keep a dagger on hand in case she must take drastic measures and stab herself to escape the potential horrors. However, it is Romeo’s dagger she uses when she stabs herself in Scene III of Act V proclaiming, “O happy dagger! This is thy sheath; there rust, and let me die.” Taking this action indicates the alteration of gender roles in the play, as Juliet uses Romeo’s dagger to take her life. Juliet’s appearance is the last thing on her mind when she snatches the dagger and thrusts it into her abdomen.

Oh happy dagger!/This is thy sheath; there rust, and let me die”(V.iii.169-170). Here, Juliet calls the dagger “happy”, meaning lucky. After seeing her beloved dead, she feels she can’t live without him. She tries to lick the poison off of Romeo’s lips, but it was to no avail. Then, upon discovering the dagger, she thinks fortune had finally turned to her side for this small little favor in the

In “Romeo and Juliet”, by William Shakespeare, Romeo’s plan was to sneak into Verona, and enter the tomb, where Juliet was laid, after he heard the news about Juliet’s death. Once he arrived, he saw that she was dead, which brought him to tears. He then wanted to commit suicide, by drinking the poison, because he wanted to spend time with Juliet, in heaven. This is shown when Romeo says, “That unsubstantial death is amorous, / An that the lean abhorred monster keeps / Thee here in dark to be his paramour? / For fear of that I still will stay with thee / An never form this palace of dim light / Depart again. Here, here will I remain / With worms that are thy chambermaids. O, here” (5.3.103-109). Romeo believed that she would be alone and, that he must be dead with her. He had this romantic vision of dying on the side by his wife’s corpse. Since the letter from Friar Lawrence had not arrived in time, this led to more and more tragedies, leaving Romeo unknown, that Juliet would wake up in 48 hours. As soon as Romeo died, Juliet woke up from the potion, asking Friar, “O comfortable friar, where is my lord? / I do remember well where I should be, / And there I am. Where is my Romeo?” (5.3.153-155). Friar did not tell her, but Juliet then saw Romeo on the floor, which brought her to tears. Friar Lawrence demanded her to come with him, but did not go, and stayed with Romeo. Juliet then saw the poison in Romeo’s hand, and tried to drink it, but there was none left, that then
