It is common knowledge that the play Romeo and Juliet ends in both characters deaths. While it may be initially thought that Romeo and Juliet caused their own deaths, the blame lies in adult figures of the play. If it weren’t for the actions of Friar Lawrence and Lord Capulet, neither Romeo nor Juliet would have died in the play, as Friar Lawrence executed the plan that led to Romeo and Juliet’s death, and Lord Capulet caused the plan to be necessary in the first place. Friar Lawrence formulated the plan that resulted in Romeo and Juliet’s death. He thought of it of it in a few moments after Juliet threatened to kill herself. Juliet was to drink a poison that would make her appear to be dead, yet she would wake up in a matter of days. Friar
The story of Romeo and Juliet, written by William Shakespeare, results in a tragedy where both main characters die. Friar Lawrence, a character Romeo and Juliet turn to for advice, is the cause of this tragedy. Friar Lawrence is responsible for organising the marriage of Romeo and Juliet, devising a plan to help Juliet fake her death, and he is responsible for the letter informing Romeo of this plan which does not arrive. These three events lead to both Romeo and Juliet committing suicide.

Some may say Juliet's father, Lord Capulet, some may say Juliet's nurse, but Friar Lawrence, the town advisor, is the one character that stands out the most. Although Friar Laurence appears as a kind-hearted and good-willed individual throughout the play of Romeo and Juliet, he serves as the character that brings about the tragedy. Friar Laurence fails, sealing the fate of the young lovers.

In Shakespeare’s play Romeo and Juliet, Romeo Montague and Juliet Capulet are two doomed lovers who derive from two rival families in the charming city of Verona. When the affectionate couple eventually get married, it only results in additional bloodshed from both of their families, inducing death on multiple people. However, their intense passion for each other is short lived when they both perpetrate suicide. In the end, Friar Lawrence was the main contributor to Romeo and Juliet’s tragic death. Friar Lawrence is responsible for Romeo and Juliet’s death.
Foremost, Friar Lawrence is responsible for the deaths of Romeo and Juliet through his actions of hiding their marriage. Despite the fact that Friar Lawrence consistently expressed positive intentions throughout the play, he also knew that the relationship between Romeo and Juliet was tremendously risky and that he should not have approved of their marriage in the first place. Friar Lawrence was rather skeptical before the marriage, but he did eventually approve
All of the characters contributed to Romeo and Juliet’s end, but only one was directly responsible for their deaths. It was love at first sight when the two young lovers eyes met at the dance, but they soon find out that their families are sworn enemies. This meant that they may not be meant for each other. In William Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet the blame should be on Friar Lawrence due to the fact that he didn’t tell Romeo and Juliet’s parents, gave bad advice, and he left Juliet at her tomb. By Friar Lawrence not telling Romeo and Juliet’s parents, the ominous plan they were clueless about what was going on with their children so they had no way of preventing their tragic end.
The suicides of Romeo and Juliet in William Shakespeare play were very disastrous and shocking. However, there is speculation that certain people are to blame for their deaths. There are many different people that could be blamed. I believe that Friar Laurence and Lady Capulet are to blame for the deaths of Romeo and Juliet.
The tragic death of Romeo and Juliet were caused by many people that took part in the play. Yes, Romeo and Juliet themselves made their own decisions which led to different outcomes. The question is, “Who is responsible for their deaths?”. From the evidence that was in the book, Friar Lawrence was the cause for their death. The Friar helps Juliet in making decisions and creating ideas of his owns which eventually led to this hot mess. Ultimately, the Friar, being the optimistic one, is responsible for Romeo’s and Juliet’s deaths.
I blame the parent, friar Laurence, and the apothecary for the death of Romeo and Juliet. The parents wanted to choose their love. This led to them both getting something to kill themselves. Romeo got poison that would kill him immediately and Juliet got a drug that makes her seem dead. She would be asleep for 42 hours. I blame the parents because they didn’t want them to be together. Romeo and Juliet’s families were always fighting. Their relationship was automatically being declined. Romeo was a Montague while Juliet was a Capulet. Their families fought for years. They didn’t want their children to marry an enemy. In the text, it says “two unlucky children of these enemy families became lovers and commit suicide.’’ They committed suicide
The plan was, “...When you’re in bed, take this vial, mix its contents with liquor, and drink. Then a cold sleep-inducing drug will run through your veins, and your pulse will stop.” He goes on saying that Romeo will come and save her by digging her out of the tomb that her parents will put her in. Not only is this a very dangerous plan that could lead to having Juliet getting buried alive; but there are many flaws in this plan. One of the flaws that did end up happening was Romeo not getting the letter about the plan, which led to Romeo thinking that his Juliet is dead, and now he wants to be dead. If Friar Lawrence just came up with a less dangerous plan then the deaths of Romeo and Juliet wouldn’t have
The simplest actions Friar Lawrence made was ultimately what killed Romeo and Juliet because of how big of a role he was to their actions and what they did in regard to their love. Without Friar Lawrence many things would not have happened such as the wedding which would not of forced Juliet to lie and fake her death, the potion of sleep/death would not have been made and Juliet’s plan to fake her death would not have happened and the message would have most likely been sent by horse. Overall, Friar Lawrence is most to blame in the tragic deaths of Romeo and Juliet in the Play Romeo & Juliet by William
A long feud between the Montague and Capulet families disrupts the city of Verona and causes tragic results for Romeo and Juliet. Love, revenge, and a secret marriage force the lovers to grow up quickly and fate cause them to commit suicide in despair. The Capulets are responsible for Romeo and Juliet's death due to prevention of Juliet's wedding. Since they are rival families, the Capulets don't want Romeo to marry Juliet. They want to intervene and stop anything from happening between them and make Juliet marry Paris, the rich boy from a “good family”.

The Act I prologue of Romeo and Juliet labels the two teens as “star crossed lovers”. While the idea of fate controlling the destinies of these characters is certainly romantic, human passions unchecked temperaments, and impulsive behaviors of a variety of characters led to the demise of the two, young lovers. Careful exploration of the text leads to the conclusion that Friar Lawrence bears the greatest responsibility for the deaths of Romeo and Juliet. Friar Lawrence most directly impacted the thwarted future of the only children of the Capulet and Montague families in the following ways: He had let Juliet trick Lady Capulet/ Lord Capulet that she had died, And he married Romeo and Juliet Successfully, But then he never did deliver the letter to Romeo so he could not act on the plan for Juliet and Friar Lawrence He thought that he had lost his “Wife”, Because he never received the letter from The Mailer Friar John
