Tragic Fault In Romeo And Juliet

Lord Capulet is to blame for many lives lost in this play. He didn’t give juliet a chance to marry who she wanted to. Lord Capulet tried to rush Juliet to marry Paris. In Act 4, scene 2, line 30 capulet says, “ Ay, marry, go, I say, and

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.

Lord Capulet told Juliet that if she didn’t marry Paris that he would disown her and make her live on the streets to fend for herself and because Lord Capulet was so overbearing, she was nervous and didn’t say anything of being with

Even though he was not actually on stage for most of the play, he was the most important character in the play. There was basically three major parts that lead to the tragedy; marriage, the plan and the deaths. In all three of these parts Friar Lawrence played a vital role. His attempts to make the marriage of Romeo and Juliet was very admirable but were poorly planned. It these attempts that make his role the most significant one in the play. This is why Friar Lawrence is the most powerful character in the play.

Friar Lawrence is a character in William Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet that served as a mentor for Romeo and Juliet, the two star-crossed lovebirds. He served as a mentor and a friend throughout the entire play, and because of it, his life was forever changed. In the beginning of the story, we meet the friar and can see that he is a happy go lucky guy, frollicking through the fields and giving advice to Romeo. However, the friar has to deal with quite a bit more than a two lovestruck teens, and it changes him for the worse. By the end of Act V, all of the drama that had taken place had taken it’s toll on Friar Lawrence and he was very upset and seemed to have been broken by the events of the week. The first time that we hear him speak,

Lady Capulet thinks that Paris would be a good match for Juliet because he is a gentleman and praises about him about him extravagantly to Juliet. and how being with him doesn’t change who she is. “… can you love the gentleman… By having him, making yourself no less” (I-III-85-95). She also makes it sound like Paris is a man women want to get with and he’s someone who lives with pride, glory, admiration, and has beauty. And by becoming his bride Juliet would just as admired. Lady Capulet thinks that Juliet should be married by now because “Younger than you here in Verona, ladies of esteem. Are made already mothers”

Had he done so, he could have informed Romeo that Juliet was alive, thus he could have prevented Romeo's death. Also, Friar Lawrence did not physically stop Juliet's suicide; he simply said "Come, come away... I'll dispose of thee among a sisterhood of nuns"(V. iii. 154-157), and ran away. Had he not been so hasty, he could have realized that the consequences of being caught trespassing are less punitive than those of abandoning Juliet. In fact, Friar Lawrence knew that if he abandoned Juliet, she likely would have committed suicide, because she threatened to so in the past "...And with this knife I'll help it presently"(IV. i. 54). Furthermore, he planned on solving the family feud with the marriage "...To turn your household's rancour to pure love"(II. iii. 92), but he did not make any arrangements to inform Montague and Capulet that he married Romeo and Juliet; he simply disappeared. Had he explained the situation to Montague and Capulet, at any time before the catastrophe, they would have trusted the friar, a holy man who everyone respected, and they would have hopefully dissolved their family feud. They did so in the end after the friar was forced to explain (V. iii). In brief, Friar Lawrence should have been more proactive, and he should have stepped in at the right time.

In Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare, Friar Lawrence was mostly the cause for the deaths of Romeo and Juliet. Despite his intentions were good, a string of illogical and stupid decisions from Friar Lawrence led to the downfall of the two lovers. Throughout the play, he further shows his lack of care by constantly attempting to flee situations that seem threatening to him. Although Friar Lawrence did not physically kill Romeo and Juliet, he unwittingly contributed to their demise by marrying them without parental consent, concocting an escape plan for them, providing the means to carry out this plan, and then abandoning Juliet, while she was distraught.

Although one may state that Juliet should be blamed for the deaths of Romeo and herself due to her rash and impatient personality, the person most responsible for the tragic deaths of Romeo and Juliet in William Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet is the impulsive mediator, Friar Lawrence, because he arranges Romeo and Juliet’s secret marriage and gives Juliet a potion that makes her appear dead without informing Romeo beforehand. In William Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet, Friar Lawrence is responsible for the deaths of Romeo and Juliet because of his impulsive decision to arrange a secret marriage between Romeo and Juliet which is hidden from the rest of the Montague and Capulet family members. In the story, the two star-crossed lovers wish to marry each other, however, they face a huge struggle in having a successful marriage from both of

Lord Capulet intimidates Juliet if she does not marry Paris which makes her vulnerable. Capulet moves up the wedding date which leads to Juliet faking her death and the death of Romeo. While there may be some reasons to support the other side, the other side is incorrect because Capulet had not intended nor did he kill Romeo and Juliet. Lord Capulet talks to Paris about how to make Juliet happier, “Sir Paris, I will make a desperate tender of my child's love I think she will be rul’d” (III.iv.12-13). He thinks Tybalt’s death brings her sorrow and wants Juliet to be happy. He thinks the key to her happiness is with marriage. While conversing with Lady Capulet, he says, “Day, night, hour, tide, time, work, play, alone, in company, still my care hath been to have her match’d” (III.v.185-187). Lord Capulet does not want Juliet to be alone. Capulet says that it is his duty to find Juliet a worthy husband. Therefore, Lord Capulet genuinely cares for Juliet and would never harm her, she killed

He was the reason why Romeo and Juliet happen, he foreshadows the main events in Romeo and Juliet.

Benvolio ,Romeo’s cousin , seeing Romeo downcast and crestfallen advises him to “ Examine other beauties”(Shakespeare1.1-224) to help him forget about his rejected love for Rosaline.

She had Juliet at age twelve and was likely too young to handle it. Thus, she feels quite estranged from Juliet. When Lady Capulet first tried to speak to Juliet in private, she changed her mind and said “—Nurse, come back again. / I have remembered me. Thou’s hear our counsel. /
