The ideology that everything in the universe has a specific place and rank in order of their hierarchy importance created by God is known as the concept of The Great Chain of Being. The order of this concept consisted levels according to highest rank to the lowest accordingly: God, angels, humanity, animals, vegetation life, leading all the way down to crud. Within each category, more specific classification existed, placing these subcategories in a specific order. This concept was believed to be a way to keep the universe in order. As this was believed during Elizabethan times, William Shakespeare also believed in the Great Chain of Being, as many of his plays are prominently based on this concept. Some of his plays include characters that accept their place on the Chain, but others are not so complacent. By examining three different characters from Shakespeare’s tragedies, The Tragedy of Romeo and Juliet, The Tragedy of Macbeth, and The Tragedy of King Lear, it is obvious to readers who is content with their place on the Chain and which characters have a difficult time accepting their place. Romeo and Juliet do not obey their parents’ orders, therefore suffer harsh consequences towards the end of the play. Macbeth is another Shakespearean character that violates the Chain, due to the committing of several murders, in order to gain the throne. In stark contrast, Cordelia, is content with her place on the Chain as she does not want anything greater in life, unlike her

In the play Romeo and Juliet there are lots of events that lead to the death of the two main characters. There are many people responsible for the death of Romeo and Juliet and some of these characters are Tybalt, Capulet and Friar Lawrence.

In William Shakespeare’s play “Romeo and Juliet”, Shakespeare presents characters in difficult situations in Romeo and Juliet through various language techniques and structure. Romeo and Juliet were star-crossed lovers. Both Romeo and Juliet were from feuding families that would not approve of their marriage. In the play they are presented with many difficult circumstances. The play was set in the Elizabethan era; there was a significant change in religion, family and politics. Attitudes and key scenes highlight the theme of love in difficult circumstances and prepare the audience for Romeo and Juliet’s suicides at the end of the play. In this essay I will be exploring the ways Shakespeare presents characters in difficult situations.

There are many characters in the play of Romeo and Juliet that have important roles and unique characteristics. One of these characters is Friar Lawrence, a Franciscan monk who is an expert in plants and medicines. While the Friar does not appear in all parts of the play, he acts as an advisor to Romeo and Juliet and gets them married. Being an honest, trustworthy, and loving friend, Friar Lawrence helps keep Romeo and Juliet together while maintaining his character and not acting dual-sided or having a second nature. Throughout the later parts of the play, Friar Lawrence’s characterization remains consistent as he guides the two lovers through their troubles and eventually ends the family feud between the Capulets and the Montagues.

At one part in the play his friends think he is still in love with Rosaline when in fact he has forgotten about Rosaline and is in love with Juliet. Romeo is quick to arrange the wedding and doesn’t wait to visit Friar Lawrence. The fact that Romeo and Juliet didn’t stop to think about marriage is one of the factors that contribute to their deaths. The Friar also thinks Romeo is in love with Rosaline and expects that he has spent the night with her, because he is in a good mood “God pardon sin! Wast thou with Rosaline”, but instead he has spent the night with Juliet. Romeo has a close relationship with the Friar, he acts as a father figure. This is shown when the Friar tell him he is banished. Romeo threatens to kill himself but Friar Lawrence stops him and gives Romeo some advice as Romeo knows he can trust the Friar “ Let me dispute with thee of thy estate”.

In the tragic play Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare, Romeo met Juliet from an enemy family in a party that he was not supposed to attend, and they quickly fell in love. Of course, this forbidden love brought unfortunate luck, and both Romeo and Juliet died at the end of the play. Who shall be held responsible for the death of Romeo and Juliet? This question has been bothering people, and yet to be answered. There are indeed many variables that have affected this, but I think Romeo himself is responsible for his own death and the one of his wife Juliet. Since the beginning of the play, Romeo has been acting foolishly, and he could not behave and calm himself down. If he had behaved well and thought before doing whatever he was going to do, everything could’ve been better.

The Responsible Character Behind the Tragic Deaths of Romeo and Juliet In writing Romeo and Juliet, Shakespeare has created a play involving the complex entanglement of all of the citizens of Verona in the tragic demise that befell the young lovers. The appeal of the play is Shakespeare's masterful stagecraft, because the audience are told of the tragic ending at the beginning of the play, but want to know how they are driven to their deaths. By involving everyone, the audience is left guessing until the end.

The shocking and tragic death of two young teens, both from families that hate each other. A Capulet and a Montague, both dead, and their families are grieving. But who is to blame?

What made these two young people do such a terrible thing to themselves, like committing suicide? Their deaths are surely related, but somebody must be blamed! To answer the question, three people are responsible for the death of Juliet Capulet and Romeo Montague. Three people you may ask, and yes, three people. No, these three people did not plot together to ruin Juliet and Romeo’s lives, forcing them to commit suicide. Surprisingly,

In Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet, Friar Lawrence plays a great role and contributes to one of the biggest events throughout the play. As a member of the Order of St. Francis, a group of wise and trustworthy priests, Romeo and Juliet trusted Friar Lawrence, would often turn to him for advice and solutions. Romeo and Juliet’s death were a result of Friar Lawrence’s poorly thought out decisions. Friar Lawrence guided Romeo and Juliet, he married them in secret and gave Juliet the vial that ironically caused her and Romeo’s deaths.

When tragedy intervenes in love, who could we blame? Could death or prejudice be responsible for intervention, or even the destruction, of love? In the famous play, “Romeo and Juliet,” two young star-crossed lovers, by the names of Romeo and Juliet, experience various conflicts regarding their forbidden marriage. When they feel what they share is love at first sight, there is one problem: They both belong to opposing families. We may see though, that there may not be one person to blame, but rather the feud between the families itself, with an overall theme of stress on the couple, from Romeo’s banishment, to Friar Lawrence assisting the children, and finally with the inevitable death of the two.
