Friar Lawrence In Shakespeare's Romeo And Juliet

Friar Lawrence is responsible for the deaths of “Romeo and Juliet” . In the play “Romeo and Juliet” by William Shakespeare the two families Montague and Capulets hated each other. Juliet who was a Capulet, feel in love with Romeo,which is a Montague. Friar Lawrence gave juliet the potion to fake her death,And that caused Romeo to assume Juliet was which made him kill himself.

Who’s fault is it for the various deaths? In “Romeo and Juliet” by William Skakespeare there’s various deaths. Teenage lovers fell in love but their familes hated each other. When they got married no one knew. Friar Lawrence married them in private but, the nurse did know. In Romeo and Juliet, Friar Lawrence is to blame for all the various deaths. He married Romeo and Juliet and came up with the plan for Juliet to appear her death.

The play Romeo and Juliet is a tragic love story written by William Shakespeare. Shakespeare has written multiple other tragic plays such as Hamlet, Othello, and King Lear. Many people still have one question, and that is who is the most to blame for the deaths of Romeo and Juliet? The play is filled with many characters and every character plays a different role. But, in my opinion, Friar Lawrence is the most to blame for Romeo and Juliet deaths. The reason behind this is because he was the one to suggest their marriage to create peace between the two families. Friar Lawrence was also the one to provide Juliet with the poison and the message didn't get through to Romeo correctly making him kill himself. The play Romeo and Juliet is about two lovers that fell in love and if one does something the other will do.

The next event that contributes to their deaths is Friar Laurance's faulty planning in the fake death of Juliet. Friar Laurance did not thoroughly plan the fake death of Juliet. He failed to inform Romeo that her death was fake. "I could not send it. Nor get a messenger to bring thee, so fearful were they of infection." (Act 5, scene 2, 14-16). Friar Lawrence did not stress the importance of the letter. As a result, Friar John did not see that it was delivered to Romeo. Another fault in his plan was informing Romeo of who was delivering the letter. "I'll find out your man,/ and he shall signify from time to time/ every good hap to your chances here". (Act 3, scene 3, 169-171) The Friar forgets to inform Romeo who would be bringing the message, that it would be one of his fellow Friars. In Act IV, Scene I Juliet goes to the Friar for advice. In his cell she encounters Paris, after chatting for awhile she requests to see the Friar alone, where the Friar tells her his plan. "Hold, then; go home, be merry, give consent/ To marry Paris: Wednesday is to-morrow:/ To-morrow night look that thou lie alone;/ Let not thy nurse lie with thee in thy/ chamber:/ Take thou this vial, being then in bed,/ And this distilled liquor drink thou off;" (Act 4, scene 1, 89-93). The Friar has not considered the all the possible outcomes of his plan. He tells Juliet she must drink the potion

Friar didn’t want to have to marry Juliet to two people as that would be against the law. So, Friar then gave Juliet a sleeping potion where she was supposed to be asleep for 42 hours. This plan lead her family into great devastation. Friar knew that it was wrong to give Juliet the potion, but he thought that if he didn't she would proceed to kill herself right there in his cell. "If, rather than to marry County Paris, Thou hast the strength of will to slay thyself, Then it is 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 you thee remedy” (Shakespeare 453). Because Friar gave Juliet the sleeping potion he had to keep up his end of the deal by letting Romeo know the

In William Shakespeare’s play Romeo and Juliet Friar Lawrence is the priest. In Romeo and Juliet two teenagers fall in love and cause tragic events to unfold and people die because of the love that these two teenagers have. Friar Lawrence is to blame for the tragedy of 6 deaths for two reasons. He married Romeo and Juliet and then tried to help them avoid consequences of getting married. Friar Lawrence is undoubtedly to blame for the tragic events that unfold in Romeo and Juliet.

In the tragedy of Romeo and Juliet, I believe that Friar Lawrence is responsible for Juliet's and Romeo’s death. To begin, Friar Lawrence was the person who married Romeo and Juliet, hoping that the feud between their families would end. “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 so happy prove to turn your households’ rancor to pure love.” (Romeo and Juliet 2.3.96-100) Romeo goes to Friar Lawrence for advice and he agrees to assist him. In their plan of Romeo and Juliet getting married, Friar Lawrence believes that the two young kids could stop the hate between the two families. The last line says “For this alliance may so happy prove to turn your

Friar Laurence intended to bring the feud between the Capulets and the Montagues to an end. To accomplish this, he secretly wed Romeo and Juliet and lied to their parents. Friar Lawrence was trying to accomplish something good, but in the end, people died as a result of his actions.

Friar Lawrence is a character that has a hand in most events in his story. He is a character in Romeo & Juliet by William Shakespeare. I will be explaining what events the Friar affects by making decisions based on emotion. The Friar did not ask or tell anyone about him marrying Romeo and Juliet.

Many people could say that the protagonists of the story Romeo and Juliet have side figures that act as their true parents that help them accomplish their goals in life. In this case, people identify Friar Lawrence and Romeo’s father and the Capulet’s Nurse as Juliet’s mother. By blood these people are not related to either character but many people say that the things they do for these children act “parent like”. Truly, in the book, Lady Capulet suggests that the Nurse mainly took care of Juliet as an infant and Romeo was guided by Friar Lawrence to be the best man he could be. Overall, I believe that Friar Lawrence and Nurse capulet are the “true” parents of Romeo and Juliet.

In Romeo and Juliet, William Shakespeare ingeniously introduces a character whose intention is to work against misfortune, but instead incites the tragedy. Friar Lawrence is who Romeo looks to for help in dire situations—being a man of God, Friar Lawrence is there to guide him towards what heaven intends. Unfortunately, the Friar does just that. While the Friar acts as Romeo’s foil, he also unintentionally orchestrates his demise. Friar Lawrence is an accomplice to the stars that cross the lovers.

In certain situations, Friar Lawrence doesn’t seem to care about the disposition or the emotions of others; he tends to disregard the consequences of certain decisions and follows through with them anyway. When Friar Lawrence walks into the Capulet house on the day of the wedding, he is well aware of the situation at hand but decides to act like all is well. As he is walking into the house, he exclaims, “Come, is the pride ready to go to church?”(201). He knows that Juliet took the potion and he also knows that Juliet appears to be dead but he acts as he is unaware of the situation. Once he arrives and sees the effect of Juliet’s death, he is hesitant to comfort the family; instead, he scolds them for being upset. While many are sobbing at

Although Romeo and Juliet are often portrayed as two partners who are exceptionally in love, their remarks and impulsive actions throughout the entire play prove that, Shakespeare, the genius behind Romeo & Juliet, was only mocking love and the two “star-crossed lovers” were actually just infatuated with each other.
