Romeo And Juliet Who's To Blame

One example of how Friar Lawrence is responsible for the death of Romeo and Juliet is that he gave the vial of potion to Juliet to help her fake her own death. Since Tybalt was murdered, the wedding idea between Juliet and Paris was introduced to cheer everyone up. Friar gave Juliet a potion that would make her seem dead for the next 42 hours and he would send a letter to Romeo telling him not to worry. “Shall, stiff and stark and cold, appear like death/And in this borrowed likeness

In the play Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare, multiple characters were responsible for the tragic ending of the play. One of the characters was Friar Lawrence who was a religious figure who married Romeo Montague and Juliet Capulet, two lovers from feuding families.Friar Lawrence is a mentor to Romeo and offers him advice about loving Juliet. Friar Lawrence cared for both Romeo and Juliet and married them despite knowing that the lovers were supposed to be sworn enemies due to their feuding families. He also rushed to Juliet’s tomb in order to make sure nothing bad had happened to Romeo or Juliet because Friar John’s failure to deliver the letter which was a crucial part of Lawrence’s plan to reunite the lovers. The letter outlined the friar’s plan and explained Juliet’s supposed death to Romeo but it didn’t not reach him in time which eventually led to the double-suicide of the lovers. However, Friar Lawrence concocted a poison which simulated a death-like state and gave it to Juliet which could have actually killed her which is a punishable deed. Friar Lawrence committed

In the play, the Friar was responsible for marrying Romeo and Juliet. So when Romeo was exiled and Juliet was to marry Paris, this caused the two lovers to do anything to be with there Juliet or Romeo. Therefore, the Friar then devulged a plan for Juliet to drink a potion that would make her appear dead, so then the Capulets would take her to the grave. However, when Romeo arrived and Juliet had not awoken from this sleep he believed that she had died taing his own life, followed by Juliet taking her life. If Friar Lawrence had not married Romeo and Juliet or thought up this plan, Romeo and Juliet would still be

What contributed to the death of Romeo and Juliet was the family feud between them,

In order to do this plan, Juliet would take a potion and wake up right before getting married to Romeo. “Hold, daughter, I do spy a kind of hope, which craves as a desperate an execution as that is desperate which we would prevent.” (4.1.75-77)In these two lines, Friar Lawrence is saying that there is hope in the situation they are dealing with. He is also saying that they can prevent the execution by following his plan. As Juliet hears him, she decides that she would take the potion as long as it can prevent Romeo from getting hurt or executed.Finally, Friar Lawrence decided to write a letter informing Romeo what was going on. Instead of himself giving the letter, he made somebody else give it to Romeo. By doing this, it caused many problems, resulting in Romeo and Juliet dying.“Within this three hours will fair Juliet wake. She will beshrew me much that Romeo Hath had no notice of the accidents; But I will write to Mantua, and keep her at my cell till Romeo come-” (5.3.26-30)In three hours Juliet will wake up. Friar Lawrence hasn’t been able to give Romeo the notice that Juliet is faking her

Romeo and Juliet were two young people from feuding families, who fell in love. Their love was so strong, that they ended up dying for each other. The ironic twist at the end of the story surprised many who had read it. But who is to blame for this tragedy? Many characters in this play could be to blame. We believe that some of the characters to blame are Capulet, Friar Lawrence, plus Romeo and Juliet themselves.

Juliet goes to friar Lawrence “obid me leap rather the marry Paris” friar Lawrence then makes plan to kill Juliet for a while until Romeo comes and helps him. Although Friar Lawrence gave Juliet the choice, he still gave it to her and was the one who gave her the potion and gave her the idea. Friar Lawrence gave Juliet the potion which ended in Juliet dead, and it all gets tied back to Friar Lawrence who was the start of why Juliet needed the potion Friar Lawrence gave the letter to someone who was not able to take the letter safely to Romeo and therefore Romeo was not informed of the plan. Friar Lawrence asked Friar John “who took my letter to Romeo, then?" as the friar asked him, he realized that the letter did not get to him, and he now had to go to the tomb himself.

Friar Lawrence planned to fake Juliet's death. Juliet thought it would be a fantastic idea to go and ask Friar for a plan. Friar thought about it, and after thinking he decided it would be a great plan to fake her death. Since Juliet didn’t want to marry Paris, she and Friar made up a plan to fake her death. “Hold on, then.

He made a whole plan just for Juliet to be able to be with Romeo after he gets banished for the murder of Tybalt, which involves dropping everything she has and faking her own death. In the play The Tragedy of Romeo and Juliet, in 4.1.95-100, Friar Lawrence tells Juliet his plans for her. He states, “Take thou this vial, being then in bed, And this distilling liquor drink thou off; When presently through all thy veins shall run A cold and drowsy humor; for no pulse Shall keep his native progress but surcease No warmth, no breath, shall testify thou livest.” For my second piece of evidence, in 5.2.24-30, he says to himself, “Now must I to the monument alone; Within these three hours will fair Juliet wake. She will beshrew me much that Romeo Hath no notice of these accidents; But I will write again to Mantua, And keep her at my cell till Romeo come; Poor living corse, clos’d in a dead man’s tomb!”

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

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,

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

Juliet wanted to get out of an arranged marriage with Paris so badly, she wanted to kill herself. She was also distraught because Romeo was banned from Verona, and she can’t see him. Friar Lawrence helped her plan to fake her death, he gave her a potion to make her fall asleep for forty-two hours. “Take thou this vial, being then in bed, When presently through all thy vein shall run a cold and drowsy humor; for no pulse shall keep his native progress, but surcease; no warmth, no breath, shall testify thou livest…”(Shakespeare 818). This quote helps show that Friar was helping Juliet.

Friar Lawrence, like Romeo, had a lot of bad decisions or ideas. One thing that he did was marry Romeo and Juliet. He did this without anyone besides the Nurse knowing and with the whole feud thing hanging over them. It’s reasonable to believe that it may have ended the feud, but it also could have made it so much worse. Another thing that Friar Lawrence did was give Juliet the potion.

Romeo Montague and Juliet Capulet, two star-crossed lovers, will do anything to show their deep affection for each other. Since they are from two different families, who happen to be enemies, they can be punished for expressing their love for one another. Unfortunately, their passion sparks many outrages. Due to Father Capulet’s feud with the Montague family, Romeo and Juliet's love life results in death.
