Who Is To Blame For Friar Lawrence's Death

In the classic play Romeo and Juliet, Friar Laurence plays a major part. Romeo and Juliet trusted him entirely as he was the priest of their town. They turned to the Friar for help and advice at a few crucial points in the play. Little did these two lovers know that their decision to turn to Friar Laurence for help would eventually lead to their deaths. Friar Laurence was responsible for the deaths of Romeo and Juliet because he married Romeo and Juliet, he was afraid of committing a sin, and because of his faulty plan for saving Juliet from a marriage to Paris.

Now Juliet is left alone in a tomb alone knowing that her is dead. Friar Laurence also was suppose to give Romeo a letter with a plan but it never got delivered to Romeo. Friar Laurence ask Friar John “ Who bare my letter, then, to Romeo”. Friar John answered back “ I could not send it- here it is again-”. That’s another reason why Friar Laurence is at fault for Romeo and Juliet death, Never got the plan out letter to Romeo.

Some of his uncertainty was expressed when he said, “These violent delights have violent ends . . . Is loathsome in his own deliciousness, and in the taste confounds the appetite: Therefore love moderately: long love doth so, too swift arrives as tardy as too slow.” in which he cautions Romeo that the rash delight he feels with Juliet could lead to a gruesome ending. Additionally, he also said “So smile the heavens upon this holy act that after-hours with sorrow chide us not.” where he expresses his hope for the heavens to agree with his decision to marry Romeo and Juliet, so they won’t regret it later. Furthermore, Friar Laurence should be held responsible for Romeo and Juliet’s tragic ending because he turned a blind eye towards multiple miserable incidents. Some of these events include Mercutio’s death, Tybalt’s death and Romeo’s banishment. Even after these unfortunate occasions occurred, he still did not see the destructiveness of their relationship. Instead of putting the acquaintance to a halt, he instead helped formulate an even more complicated plan to ensure that it wouldn’t cease. He formed the plan to unite Romeo and Juliet in act 4, scene 1, lines 90-120 comprising of faking Juliet’s death and subsequently, informing Romeo of this strategy through a letter. Additionally, he states, “Take thou this

Friar Lawrence is most likely the biggest to blame for these lovers’ deaths due to the fact that he has given the poison to Juliet which causes Romeo's death and then Juliet's. Friar Lawrence comes up with what seems like a phenomenal plan; fake a death, escape the city, and live happily ever after! Sadly, Friar Lawrence is making a fatal mistake; instead of simply telling Romeo of his and Juliet's plan, he plans on sending a letter through Friar John. To his surprise the letter does not go through! "After I found him, the healthy officers,/suspecting we were in a house infected by the plague,/boarded up the doors, and wouldn't let us out. So I couldn't go/ to Mantua"(5.2.6-9). As Friar John explains, he was suspected of having the plague and was not able to deliver the letter to Romeo. Although the letter seems like a liable idea, it is not nearly as reliable as simply informing Romeo of the actual situation. By simply speaking face to face with Romeo, Romeo will know the situation of Juliet and the poison and will not kill himself. Therefore, by giving Juliet poison and not informing Romeo, Friar Lawrence is to blame for Romeo and Juliet's

One person who is to be blamed for the deaths of Romeo and Juliet is Friar Laurence. Although Friar Laurence is portrayed as a ‘good’ man – and seems to have/do no harm to the people of Verona – he is not completely blameless. In fact, Friar Laurence undoubtedly has the most blame for their death. In Act Two, Scene Three, Lines 90-95, Friar Laurence agrees to the marriage of Romeo and Juliet because Friar Laurence truly believes that if they were lucky enough, the two feuding households, the Capulets and the Montagues, would have their hatred between one another be turned into pure love. “O, she knew well/Thy love did read by rote, that could not spell./But come, young waverer, come go with me./In one respect I’ll thy assistant be,/For this alliance may be so happy prove/To turn your household’ rancour to pure love.” All Friar

Friar Laurence and the Nurse are to blame for the suicides of Romeo and Juliet through helping them be together and miscommunicating with others. First, Friar Laurence is to blame for the suicides of Romeo and Juliet because he arranged a secret wedding for the two. When Romeo comes to Friar Laurence to ask if he could marry himself and Juliet, Friar Laurence tries to tell Romeo no for a little while, but after a very little bit of persuading, Friar Laurence says “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 your households' rancour to pure love.” (2.4.88-93). Without even thinking about the consequences of marrying Romeo and Juliet, especially in secrecy, Friar Laurence does it anyway. Romeo and Juliet’s death could have easily been prevented if Friar Laurence thought his actions through about marrying them. Secondly, the Nurse and Friar lawrence are to blame for the suicides of Romeo and Juliet by helping them spend their wedding night together. When the Nurse, after she tells Juliet that Romeo was alive she says “Hie to your chamber. I’ll find Romeo/To comfort you; I wot well where he is./ Hark ye, your Romeo will be

Friar Lawrence should’ve delivered the letter to Romeo instead of making someone else because if he did it himself then he could’ve saved most of the people from dying. Friar Lawrence shouldn’t of assumed that friar john would’ve been able to send/deliver the letter because it was the reason that Romeo didn’t know about Juliet’s fake death and her being okay.

In the loving yet tragic tale of Romeo and Juliet, Friar Lawrence is to blame. Friar Lawrence should be punished for his choices he made regarding Romeo and Juliet. In fact, Friar Lawrence agrees, “And here I stand, you can question me and punish me. I have already condemned and excused myself.”(Act 5, Scene 3) Friar Lawrence is at fault for not delivering the letter of his and Juliet’s scheme to Romeo himself and for running away when Juliet needed him the most. However I do not believe he should be sentenced to death, but rather should no longer be able to marry people.

The deaths of the two lovers Romeo and Juliet were unnecessary and could have been avoided in many ways. The main person that is to blame for their deaths is Friar Lawrence. The Friar was an outsider looking into the family feud thinking it was ridiculous for the two lovers to not be able to be together. He underestimated the seriousness of this family feud and overestimated in Romeo and Juliet and neither were mature enough to go through with his complex plan. The Friar is the person most to blame for the deaths of Romeo and Juliet because, he was the one who gave Juliet the sleeping potion as part of his plan to fake her death, he conducted the awful plan to fake Juliet’s death, and followed through with the plan without properly informing

In( act five scene two line numbers fourteen through twenty- one) we have Friar Laurence talking about the letter for Romeo that did not make it to him. “Friar Laurence: Who bare my letter, then to Romeo? / Friar John: I could not send it here it is again. / Friar Laurence: Unhappy fortune! By my brotherhood, the letter was not nice, but full of chore, and neglecting it may do much danger”.

The deaths of Romeo and Juliet is technically suicide, but who cause the fate of their death. There are two main victims who helped them commit suicide. Friar Lawrence and both of their parents had many reasons why they are the criminals of the misconception who had killed whom. Friar Lawrence always talks down to them. The parents wanted them to be separated in the first place. Love is what is the fate of their death, but these explanations had something to do with the outcome.

This rearranged the plan Friar Laurence and Juliet had, leading to the suicide of Juliet, following Romeo’s. “Unhappy fortune! By my brotherhood, The letter was not nice but full of charge, Of dear import, and the neglecting it May do much danger” (Act 5, Scene 2). Friar John is talking to Friar Laurence telling him that he could not deliver the letter to Romeo. Friar Laurence is telling him that this the letter was not just a nice greeting, it was full of very important information that Romeo needed to know. He should have told Friar John that the letter was important before he went to Mantua, so he would feel obligated to send the letter. “She will beshrew me much that Romeo Hath had no notice of these accidents. But I will write again to Mantua, And keep her at my cell till Romeo come. Poor living corse, closed in a dead man’s tomb!” (Act 5, Scene 2). The quote highlights that Friar Laurence’s plan altered because the letter wasn’t sent to Romeo. Furthermore, he wants to send another letter to Romeo in Mantua, to replace the one that was never
