Who Is To Blame For Romeo And Juliet's Death

While he thought that it was a good idea to let Juliet fake her death she wrote a letter to Romeo, that friar was supposed to go give to Romeo because in act 5 scenes 2 it says that. “friar was unable to deliver the letter informing Romeo that Juliet that is not actually dead”. So the blame should mostly go to friar cause if he would of just sent the letter to Romeo than Romeo and Juliet would have go married and no one would have died and they live happily ever after. Although he didn’t get time to go deliver than Romeo wouldn’t have killed

Friar Laurence makes not only one, but three mistakes that will eventually lead up to Romeo and Juliet’s death. The Friar’s first mistake was giving Juliet, an unstable fourteen year old, a powerful potion that would make her look dead, so she would not have to marry Paris. Friar Laurence actually shows his irresponsibility by saying, “Thou hast the strength of will to slay thyself…take thou this vial…no warmth, no breath shall testify the livest”( Act 4.1.). Had Friar Laurence not given Juliet the poison, she never would have been put in the position that she was in, which lead to her death.

A second reason the Friar should be held most responsible is the fact that he gave Juliet a remedy in order to “fake” her death. Friar Laurence tells Juliet:

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”.

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

Next, Prior to the deaths happening the Friar agreed to Marry the couple. He knew what the consequences could have been for both himself and Romeo and Juliet. He thought it would have helped end the feud, not thinking realistically. If he would have actually taken the time to think about what he was doing, and remember how unsupported both of their family's are, as well as the effect it could have had on Romeo and Juliet, maybe he wouldn't have done it. For example "So smile the heavens upon this holy act, That after hours with sorrow chide us not!"

Romeo and Juliet are in love with each other and they can not see each other. Romeo get’s in trouble and is banished which leads to both of their death’s. Everyone involved in the tragic event had something to do with the death’s. There are a couple people that should take the blame. Such as lord Capulet and lord Montague.

Unlike the Nurse, who was simply just going along with what others said, the Friar took action to encourage Romeo and Juliet’s marriage and actually make it happen. He was certainly well aware of the possible conflict that most likely would result from their marriage. However, he decided to ignore that and hope that their marriage would bring the two families together. While this shows good intentions, he clearly neglected to actually think this through. He could have first talked to the families and tried to bring them together without marrying them, or just refused to go through with the marriage this hastily and make them really think about things for a few weeks.

The Friar is like the local Pastor, he serves the church and offers people advice if they need it. When Romeo came to him asking what to do as he had fallen in love with Juliet, he scolds him for losing his love in Rosaline, because Romeo shed many tears for her. This is one instance when the Friar could have stopped their deaths, if he just told him he doesn’t know what he's talking about, and said you can’t love someone you barely met. After this Romeo asks him to stop scolding him, as the Friar also scolded him for loving Rosaline, but then the Friar says he scolded him for obsessing over her, not loving her. Then Romeo explains that Juliet loves him back, when Rosaline never did.

Though Friar Lawrence has good intentions and good meaning, his actions only make Romeo and Juliet’s lives harder and puts their relationship in jeopardy. After Romeo and Juliet meet at Capulet’s party, Romeo goes to Friar to wed him and Juliet together. They get wedded together that afternoon, though Friar still doubts his action. Friar we d the two hoping that “this alliance may so happy prove to turn your households’ rancor to pure love.”

Romeo arranges with Juliet’s nurse a pretext for Juliet visiting Friar Lawrence so that they can secretly get married: “Bid her devise/ Some means to come to shrift this afternoon./ And there she shall at Friar Lawrence’s cell/ Be shriv'd and married.” (II.iv.183-186). After Romeo and Juliet’s tragic incident, the friar makes known to the public for the first time that he married Romeo and Juliet and reveals the whole truth.

If he did that, Romeo would not have killed himself which also led to Juliet committing a suicide. They could have run away and lived happily after as to their original plan which did not reach Romeo. The letter was such a big thing that Friar may have given the letter himself to Romeo and explain the plan even more precisely and everything would have been fine. The Friar was also careless about

In the play Romeo and Juliet, a monk, Friar Lawrence, has hopes of ending a feud between two families. Romeo, a Montague, and Juliet, a Capulet, both go to Friar for advice during difficult times. No one will argue that Romeo and Juliet are desperately seeking advice from Friar, so they can be together forever. How far will Friar go with these lovers to end the family feud between the Montagues and Capulets? Friar is so desperate to end the family feud that he becomes deceitful by secretly marring Romeo and Juliet, giving Juliet a potion, and giving Romeo advice and hiding him during a desperate time.

When Romeo expressed his wish to marry Juliet to the Friar he replied that, “For this alliance may so happy prove,” (II.iii. ###). Agreeing to marry Romeo and Juliet, the Friar was hoping that the marriage would stop the families’ feud. Alas, his attempt was unsuccessful, as at the end of the play Friar Laurence tells of how after wedding of Romeo and Juliet, and partially due to its secrecy that it, “Was Tybalt's dooms-day, whose untimely death Banish'd the new-made bridegroom from the city,” (V.iii.240), and how due to the confliction of the secret wedding and Juliet's planned marriage to Paris, “then comes she[Julliet] to me, And, with wild looks, bid me devise some mean To rid her from this second marriage,” (V.iii.245). With the death of Tybalt, the banishment of Romeo, and the planned marriage to Paris, Friar Laurence's plan to stop the feud through love fell apart.

The Friar wanted so badly for the families to end their feuding that he didn’t do what was thought to be the right thing,which was to tell their families and not marry them, but, he simply agreed to their wish of him marrying them in hopes that order would be restored to the families in Verona. After Tybalt and Mercutio’s fallout, ending with the death of them both, Tybalt’s by Romeo, Romeo is banished. Shortly after his banishment, Juliet is informed of a wedding-her own. Her parents tell her that she is to marry her suitor, Paris. Juliet refuses and states, “Now, by Saint Peter’s Church and Peter too,
