How Did Romeo And Juliet Take Their Lives

Juliet chooses to fake her, and one of Romeo’s men catch word of it and deliver the news to Romeo. As Romeo races back to Verona, Friar John was on his way to deliver the truth to Romeo but couldn’t make it to him in time. Romeo breaks into the Capulet tomb to see Juliet for himself. When he does see that Juliet is “dead” he does not choose to live any longer and decides to end his life by drinking a poison. When Juliet awakes and sees Romeo dead next to her she cries and tries to drink from the bottle the poison was in so she could die as well since there was nothing left in the bottle she decided to grab Romeo’s dagger and stab herself, and so she

Juliet ask Friar Laurens to help her avoid her marriage to Paris or she will kill herself. Friar Laurens comes up with a plan and gives Juliet a potion and tells her to fake her death. In Act 4, Scene 1 Friar Laurens tells Juliet “I hear thou must, and nothing may prorogue it, On Thursday next married to this county And, if thou darest, I’ll give thee remedy.” Although he didn’t force Juliet to take the potion he still came up with the plan to help Juliet get out of the marriage and meet up with Romeo, which failed because Friar Laurens sent another Friar to give Romeo the letter.

This quote explains a portion of the Friar's plan. After Juliet drank the potion, things went very wrong because she was in a deep sleep for too long, which made people believe that she was dead. In addition, Romeo thought Juliet was dead, so he ended his life. So, because of the Friar’s impulsive plan, Romeo died and Juliet ended her life, after finding Romeo dead. The Friar also secretly married Romeo and Juliet.

“Take thou this vial, being then in bed, / And this distilled liquor drink thou off” (Shakespeare 4.1.96-97) This quote reveals that Friar gave Juliet the sleeping potion to drink the night before Paris and Juliet were to be married. The plan that he had in mind was for Juliet to drink the sleeping potion that would make her appear dead for forty-two hours, be buried in the Capulet tomb, then be saved and took to Mantua by Romeo when she woke up. However, it is later revealed that Friar John couldn’t bring the important letter Friar Laurence wrote to Romeo that described the plan because he was quarantined inside of a house because town health officials suspected he was infected with the plague. When he heard of this, Friar Laurence was going to write to Romeo again, meanwhile taking Juliet to his cell when she woke up and keeping her there until Romeo arrived. It was too late, since Romeo already heard that Juliet was dead from Balthasar, causing him to already be on his way to Juliet’s grave to kill himself so he could be with her. Friar Laurence allowing Juliet to drink the sleeping potion before he was certain that Romeo knew about the plan was ultimately what caused the death of Romeo and

In the play Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare, Friar Laurence is to blame for the death of Romeo and Juliet. Friar decided to marry Romeo and Juliet, to attempt to mend the feud between their families. As the play continued, Friar Laurence had provided dangerous medicine to Juliet, leading to Romeo and Juliet’s deaths. Because of mishandling the medicine and marrying Romeo and Juliet Friar Laurence is to blame for the deaths of Romeo and Juliet.

Multiple characters are responsible for the death of Romeo and Juliet, But Friar Laurence is the overall guiltiest of them all. Let's begin when Romeo had found Juliet in a trance, he was completley unaware that she was not dead, all because the Friar did not take the time to personally tell Romeo of the plan. He was just relying on Romeo receving the letter that unfortunately did not make it to him. For example ".. A dateless bargain to engrossing death!"

First, Friar Lawrence agrees to marry Romeo and Juliet to end the feuding between the families. He says, “In one respect I’ll thy assistant be:/ For this alliance may so happy prove/ To turn your households’ rancour to pure love.” (2.3.90-92). Secondly, he organizes a plan for Juliet to take the potion to fake her death. In the plan he also decides to send a message to Romeo explaining their plans but Friar John says “I could not send it – here it is again –/ Nor get a messenger to bring it thee,” (5.2.14-15) to Friar Lawrence so Romeo was never informed of the plan. Lastly, at the end of the play when he finds Juliet and a dead Romeo, he leaves and says “Come go, good Juliet, I dare no longer stay.” (5.3.159). Once both sides are involved, it means Romeo and Juliet must be

Friar Laurence simply influenced Romeo’s decision, it was ultimately Romeo and Juliet's decision to carry on with the marriage. In addition, Friar Laurence was put under immense pressure to marry the two lovers to promote peace or to stop the marriage and not be part of such a sinful act. Friar Laurence's inability to execute the most crucial aspect of the plan puts him at fault for the death. After being banished from Verona, wedding plans for Paris and Juliet being to start. Juliet has forsaken her love to Romeo, and decides that her marriage will be done with only one person, which is Romeo. The Friar promises Juliet that he will reunite them and they can live happily by telling Juliet “Shall Romeo by my letters know our drift, and hither shall hem come; and he and I shall watch thy waking, and that very night shall Romeo bear thee to Mantua” (4.1.114-117). The Friar begins to tell Juliet that his plan is foolproof, and it will help them escape safely into Mantua where they can live happily ever after. As the play continues on into act 5, Friar Laurence begins to send out his letter to Romeo. However, Friar John comes back to Verona and tells Friar Laurence “I could not send it—here it is again, nor get a messenger to bring it thee” (5.2.14-16). Friar Laurence is most to blame because he is unable to perform the most vital part of the plan. If Friar Laurence knew that the letter

Benvolio acted abruptly, telling Romeo information under false pretences. Originally, the plan between Friar Laurence and Juliet was to have Juliet take a potion that was made by Friar Laurence and have her fall into a sleep

Usually, elaborate and complicated plans do not turn out the way that they are supposed to, especially in this scenario. Later in the play, Romeo is banished from Verona for killing Tybalt. Friar Lawrence tries to help the young lovers using a potion, “ a thing like death to chide away this shame, that cop’st with death himself to ‘scape from it...And if thou dearest, I’ll give thee remedy.” (183). This potion would make Juliet appear dead for 42 hours, and then she would arise. Giving an almost deadly potion to a 14-year old does not seem like a responsible measure to take. Friar thinks that when Paris sees Juliet dead, he will stop pursuing Juliet for once and Juliet will stay loyal to Romeo. Friar sends a “letter was not nice but full of charge of dear import, and neglecting it may do much danger.” (219). This letter includes the potion plot and what Friar’s intentions were. Unfortunately, Romeo never receives this letter and never gets to know that Juliet will stay loyal to Romeo,

Unfortunately, when Juliet awoke, it was to Romeo’s dead body, and she too killed herself. The whole arrangement, a bundle of poor lies, was set in place so the two of them could run away without

He gives her a vial of potion that she will take to hibernate. Because of this, Romeo believes Juliet is truly dead and he kills himself, wanting to be with her. During this time of chaos, Friar Lawrence was supposed to go down to the cellar and get Juliet so she didn’t suffocate, but he didn’t help Juliet. He let her kill herself, which is exactly what happened.

“And if thou darest, I’ll give thee remedy.” Here Friar Laurence is telling Juliet that his plan with the remedy so she can leave with Romeo after she wakes up. He also tells her, “Look that thou lie alone: let not thy nurse lie with thee in thy chamber. Take now this vial being in bed.” This is when he tells her what to do with the vial the night before the wedding with Paris. He is responsible because he told her to drink the potion when she could have just run away or kept refusing to marry Paris.

The hatred between the Montagues and the Capulets triggered Friar Laurence to give Juliet a sleeping potion, an action with grave consequences. Her dilemma is that her father, Capulet, is ordering her to marry Paris but she can't because it would go against her religion because she is married in secret to Romeo. Juliet asks Friar Laurence for a solution to her dilemma. The Friar proposes that Juliet take a special potion that would make it seem like she were dead. This is the Friar's instructions to Juliet as to when to take the potion and the effects of the potion:

Romeo and Juliet deceive others due to the poor guidance they receive about their situation. They resort to deceit as a resolution for their desperate situations. Friar Laurence performs their secret marriage as he believes that this alliance could ‘…Turn [their] household’s rancour to pure love’. Juliet is later forced to marry Paris and asks the Nurse for assistance. The Nurse replies that Juliet is ‘…better in this second match’. The Nurse helped Juliet to marry Romeo but as the situation becomes tricky, she betrays Juliet and encourages her to marry Paris; she provides poor guidance in doing so. This poor advice convinces Juliet to consider a plan involving a ‘desperate… execution’. This desperate execution is provided to Juliet by Friar Laurence who provides Juliet with a potion that puts her in a sleep like death. The Friar
