Who Is To Blame For The Death Of Romeo And Juliet

In the play, Romeo and Juliet, there are several significant details that help the reader choose who take the blame for the death of Romeo and Juliet. First, the character Friar Laurence should have never married them in the first place. Another important detail is that Friar Laurence it might have ended the feud between the two families they always fighting with each other. The third detail important to the play is that he should have never given Juliet the sleeping drug to make her fake her own death. Finally, the Shakespeare that tells the reader that Romeo has killed himself to be with his love in the afterlife because he couldn’t be with her while she was living. These details are significant because it shows how friar Laurence is responsible for the deaths of Romeo and Juliet just days after the weeding.

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.

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.

Friar Lawrence is to blame for the deaths because he’s the one that came up with the plan to make Juliet appear dead. Romeo was supposed to be with her but it didn’t work out all that well. Friar Lawence gives her the potion and in Act Four, scene 1, lines 98-99 Friar Lawrence says “ No warmth, no breath, shall

Love is the tightest bond two people can share, so tight people go to the extremes. In the play, “The Tragedy of Romeo and Juliet”, Romeo and Juliet end up dead in the end. Although there are many people to blame, Friar Laurence is primarily blamed for the deaths of Romeo and Juliet.

According to Act V Scene III it states, “Come, I’ll dispose of thee among a sisterhood of nuns.” Juliet relies “ Go, get thee hence, for I will not away. Then Friar Lawrence left Juliet to be with her husband. According to this quote, it seems like Friar Laurence does not care for Juliet. He is only trying to protect himself from the watchman. He should not have done that because earlier in the book she was threatening to kill herself. According to Act IV Scene I, it states “ I long to die if what thou speak'st speak not of remedy. According to that quote, she's saying if you don’t have anything to fix this I will be able to take my own life to be with Romeo, hat s when Friar Lawrence gives her the potion and tells her to take it.He left her in a upsetting mood. Hs e had more of a chance to take her life. He should have conforted her, but he didn’t, and left her to be on her own. Then she had killed herself.

In the play, Romeo and Juliet, by William Shakespeare, Friar Laurence is responsible for their deaths. So many things were done wrong by Friar Laurence, that lead to their deaths. The first mistake that Friar Laurence made was to agree to marry the two in secret and without the permission of their parents. The next bad advice he gave, was when he instructed Juliet to fake her own death. The last wrong thing was giving the message for Romeo to an unreliable messenger. If any of these events did not take place, their deaths could’ve been avoided.

Friar Lawrence is the one to blame for Romeo and Juliet's deaths because he fell upon several faults that he should not have encouraged. Some things Friar Lawrence did that was not good is providing the poison and sleeping potion to Juliet so

In ¨The Tragedy of Romeo and Juliet¨,there seems to be the question of who seems most responsible for the deaths in Romeo and Juliet? I’ve come to the idea that it is the prince, Escalus who caused or atleast could’ve stopped these deaths from ever starting to unfold. He was so anonymous of every problem happening and never took charge of the situation until it concluded. He had to ask of benvolio”who began this bloody fray” when Mercutio and Tybalt were dead. He never had men prepared of any casualties that could happen or any men on patrol so no fight broke out in the first place.

Friar Laurence’s character flaws greatly impacted the end result of the play. The Friar should be punished for his poorly made decisions throughout Shakespeare’s story. His first mistake was when he initially helped Romeo and Juliet with the aid of the Nurse. Both Romeo and Juliet are children and their parents should be included in every decision made for them. The Friar married Romeo and Juliet in Act 3 of the play. “Till Holy Church incorporate two in one” (3.1.37) The marriage was the start of many issues. Such as Juliet’s inability to wed Paris, being a married lady. This led to Friar’s next choice of giving Juliet the sleeping potion—making her appear dead. “Take this vial, being then in bed,” (4.1.93) Giving Juliet the poison was the reason why so many characters had died in the end of Act 5 of the play. Paris had died fighting Romeo because he thought he was attempting to steal Juliet’s “dead” body. Romeo, ignorant of the fact that Juliet was not dead, killed himself. Juliet committed suicide because of her fiancé lying next to her lifeless. The poison given by Friar

After she had drank the potion, the message Friar Lawrence sent failed to reach Romeo. Later, Romeo had killed himself because he thought Juliet was dead.

When Friar Laurence and Juliet came up with the solution to fake her death instead of telling her parents. He gives her a sleeping potion and tells her to not let anyone sleep in the room(4.1.91-122) This is an extremely irrational decision and something was bound to go wrong. Romeo also made many irrational decisions. These included killing Tybalt and Rushing to Verona right after he heard Juliet had died. If he hadn’t done these things the tragedy would not have happened. There were also other reasons for the tragedy of Romeo and

The most important part of the plan that Friar Laurence does not think about is the transportation of the letter explaining to Romeo that Juliet is not actually dead and to go to the tomb. Some critics say that the lovers never would have died, “if Friar John had not gone to quarantine.” (Greenhill) Since Romeo does not receive the note, and Romeo’s friend sees Juliet dead and tells Romeo, Romeo does not know that she is not actually dead, just asleep. This is shown near the end of the play when Balthasar says, “Then she is well, and nothing can be ill: her body sleeps in Capulet’s monument, and her immortal part with angels lives.” (Romeo and Juliet 104) Relating back to the scene when the note did not reach Romeo, he still does not know that anything has happened to Juliet until Balthasar tells him what has happened. At first, Romeo does not believe him but soon goes to an apothecary for a poison to use to kill himself alongside Juliet. Another huge flaw from Friar Laurence that could have saved the two from killing themselves is when Friar arrives in the tomb too late. He finds Romeo dead and Juliet still asleep. The two are so close in coming in contact that only a few minutes after Romeo drinks his poison, Friar walks into the tomb as Juliet awakens. “Romeo! O, pale! Who else? what, Paris too? and steep'd in blood? Ah, what an unkind hour is guilty of this lamentable chance! The lady stirs.” (Romeo and Juliet 112) Right after this, Juliet awakens hoping to find Romeo, but she finds him dead instead.

The story Romeo and Juliet is known as one of the most beautiful love stories ever told. Despite the tragic ending many view the famous story as romantic but sorrowful. Shakespeare takes two star-crossed lovers full of passion and rushes them in to love too quickly. This causes them to take their lives so they can be together forever. Many wonder “Who is responsible for the death of Romeo and Juliet?” Some believe that it was not just one person who takes the blame, but a number of people. Friar Lawerence, the two lovers, and their parents all have a part in the tragedy that is Romeo and Juliet.

“ Take thou this vial being in bed, and take this distilled liquor drink thou off” ( IV.i.93-94). This shows that he gives Juliet the sleeping and directions on how she supposed to take the potion correctly. “ When presently through all thy veins shall eun a drowsy humor” (IV.i.95-96). Also he told her what it would feel like and how it will affect her. Based on the play the Friar lawrence had known about juliet wanting to fake her death. He suggested for her to drink the potion and still didn't go tell romeo anything that was going
