Who Is The Friar's Death In Romeo And Juliet

Friar Laurence did not want to commit a sin, by marrying someone who was already married to someone else. Since this was the case, he did not want to marry Juliet to Paris. Juliet wonders about this in one of her soliloquies. “What if it be a poison, which the Friar / Subtly hath minster’d to have me dead, / Lest in this marriage he should be dishonour’d / Because he married me before to Romeo? / I fear it is” (Shakespeare 85).

The first reason why Friar Laurence is at fault because he married to Romeo and Juliet. Romeo went to Friar Laurence place to tell him about Juliet “ I have been feasting with mine enemy, where on a sudden one hath wounded me, that’s by me wounded”. After Romeo told Friar Laurence about how much he love Juliet and wants to marry her. Friar Laurence told Romeo he will marry them to, “ 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 households’ rancor to pure love”. Friar Laurence thought if Romeo and Juliet would of got married that would stop all the fighting between their families the Capulets and 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”.

The Friar had good intentions when he married Romeo and Juliet, as shown in this quote, “For this alliance may so happy prove/ To turn your households’ rancour to pure love” (2.4.91-92). In this quote, Friar Lawrence explains his reasoning behind marrying Romeo and Juliet, he thought that by marrying the two, he could stop the feud. This did not work as no one told the rest of the families and the Capulets tried to marry Juliet to Paris. The Friar also failed to get the letter to Romeo that would have told him that Juliet wasn’t dead. If Romeo had received this letter, he would not have committed suicide in Juliet's grave when he returned to Verona. Also, if the Friar had gotten to Juliet’s grave any earlier, he could have saved both Romeo and Juliet. The following quote is from the final scene of the play, “Miscarried by my fault, let my old life / Be sacrificed, some hour before this time, / unto the rigour of the severest law” (5.3.271-274). In this scene, the Friar admits the part that he played in Romeo and Juliet’s deaths. He volunteers himself to be punished for this, but the rest of the families and the Prince don't want to punish him. Although he meant well, Friar Lawrence’s actions resulted in the deaths of Romeo and

Friar Laurence simply influenced Romeo’s decision, it was ultimately Romeo and Juliet's decision to carry on with the marriage. In addition, Friar Laurence was put under immense pressure to marry the two lovers to promote peace or to stop the marriage and not be part of such a sinful act. Friar Laurence's inability to execute the most crucial aspect of the plan puts him at fault for the death. After being banished from Verona, wedding plans for Paris and Juliet being to start. Juliet has forsaken her love to Romeo, and decides that her marriage will be done with only one person, which is Romeo. The Friar promises Juliet that he will reunite them and they can live happily by telling Juliet “Shall Romeo by my letters know our drift, and hither shall hem come; and he and I shall watch thy waking, and that very night shall Romeo bear thee to Mantua” (4.1.114-117). The Friar begins to tell Juliet that his plan is foolproof, and it will help them escape safely into Mantua where they can live happily ever after. As the play continues on into act 5, Friar Laurence begins to send out his letter to Romeo. However, Friar John comes back to Verona and tells Friar Laurence “I could not send it—here it is again, nor get a messenger to bring it thee” (5.2.14-16). Friar Laurence is most to blame because he is unable to perform the most vital part of the plan. If Friar Laurence knew that the letter

Friar Laurence set up the marriage in a fast matter by essentially setting up the marriage of two teens in a span of a few days just because he wanted the satisfaction of both families feud concluded. In Act 2, scene 3, line 92-93, Friar Laurence states “For this alliance may so happy prove to turn your households’ rancor to pure love”. Friar Laurence in this sentence was handling the marriage in a fast manner only thinking the positive outcome of the marriage. If he waited a little bit longer, he would’ve found out that Romeo just came out of a relationship with Rosaline. If he knew the about the relationship, he would not assemble the marriage because Romeo is not mature yet in which would not result in the death of the star-crossed lovers. Another quote from Friar Laurence in which he wants both Romeo and Juliet to get married is in Act 4, Scene 1 , line 73-78 , Friar Laurence states “If, rather than to marry County Paris, Thou hast the strength of will to slay thyself, Then is it likely thou wilt undertake A thing like death to chide away this shame, That copest with death himself to ’scape from it. And if thou darest, I’ll give thee remedy.” This quote essentially states Friar Laurence telling the plan to Juliet in which will include a phase in which she will be in a state of death which will later be unsuccessful. Overall, these quotes prove that Friar Laurence is the one who set up the marriage resulting in the outcome demonstrating why he is most at

The Friar always had loving intentions, despite the shortcomings in his plans. When Juliet comes to the Friar, begging him to prevent her marriage to Paris or else she would kill herself, he comes up with a plan, “If, rather than to marry County Paris,/ Thou hast the strength of will to slay thyself,/ then is it likely thou wilt undertake/ a thing like death” (4.1.72-75).

When the Friar first meets Juliet, at Romeo and her wedding he advises them to, “Love moderately. Long love doth so. Too swift arrives as tardy as too slow” (2.6.15-15).

Once Romeo is banished from Verona because he killed Juliet’s cousin, Tybalt, Juliet seeks help from the Friar and he realizes that she, “Hast the strength of will to slay thyself, then is it likely thou wilt undertake a thing like death to chide away this shame, That copest with death himself to escape from it,” (4.1.72-76) The Friar by helping Juliet, gave Juliet the strength and courage to drink the vile of the potion to enter a sleep like death. At the conclusion of the play, the Friar, “Dare no longer stay”(5.3.159) and leaves Juliet in the capulet’s tomb with her beloved Romeo. The Friar did not urge Juliet to leave the tomb, but isolates her with Romeo making no effort to force her to leave. She results in taking her own life in desperation.
