Much could have been done to prevent their suicides, but these “star-crossed lovers’ ultimately are not able to avoid their destiny. A series of unfortunate circumstances result in disaster, and although many people could be to blame for their deaths Friar lawrence plays a particularly integral role. Friar Lawrence is the most to blame because he married Romeo and Juliet. If he had not married Romeo and Juliet, there wouldn’t be so many problems. Befor he married Romeo and Juliet he should have went to Lord Montague and Lord Capulet and talked to them about Romeo and Juliet wanting to marry. Another reason Friar Lawrence is at fault is...

...The death of Romeo and Juliet is surprisingly caused by the one of the least suspected characters in Shakespeare’s most renowned play. Friar Lawrence’s interference in the two rivaling families introduced much of the fighting, rage and death in these characters. Friar Lawrence causes untimely demise of Romeo and Juliet because he marries the two star-crossed lovers, helps Juliet escape the marriage to Paris, and also confesses his wrongdoings. Assisting Juliet in escaping the marriage with Paris, Friar Lawrence contributes majorly to giving Juliet the remedy that makes her fall asleep for 42 hours. When Romeo is banished from Verona and the Capulet parents force Juliet to marry Count Paris, Juliet tries to avoid marriage...

...Friar Lawrence is to blame for the death of Romeo and Juliet. It is clear that Romeo killed himself because he believed Juliet was dead because of the potion Friar Lawrence gave her.“Take thou this vial”(4.1.103).This passage suggests that Friar Lawrence is to blame because he gave Juliet the potion that made her seem to be dead which then led to Romeo committing suicide because he was depressed without Romeo, Juliet felt no reason to live which is then why she killed herself. Also, the letter did not make it to Romeo in time, he killed himself believing the false news that Juliet has passed.“The letter was not nice, but full of charge of dear import” (5.2.19-20).This evidence shows that Friar Lawrence is to be blamed because even though he...

...In the story of Romeo and Juliet, a tragedy occurs between two star crossed lovers in which the result is both of their lives are taken from them. Many people have debated on the subject of whose fault it actually is, but the person who needs to take most of the blame for what happened is Friar Lawrence. Friar Lawrence was the wise advisor to Romeo and Juliet, and he also was the adult in the situation. Even though not even all adults make the right decisions, he should have handled the whole situation better. For example, he should not have married the couple together because of how young and immature they both are. The Friar wasn’t thinking very well with the decision he make to join the two together, especially after how much trouble he...

...Friar Lawrence’s plan for Juliet to escape from Verona and Paris to live with Romeo by faking her death. He gave her a potion that will make her appear dead for three days, long enough for her to avoid her wedding to Paris and be placed in her family tomb. It is there where she will awake to find Romeo waiting for her so they can live happily together in Mantua. I think Juliet trusts Friar Lawrence because of the fact that he agreed to marry Romeo and Juliet in secret. Because of this, Friar would be executed if he wed Juliet to Paris as he already marrying Juliet twice while Romeo is still alive. Juliet trusts him because if he doesn’t help her out of this situation he will be executed and his soul will be damned for doing such a thing. Juliet...

...Friar Lawrence is not a gambling man, one would assume, but he decides to play a high risk/high reward game by marrying two new lovers together. While speaking to Romeo Friar Lawrence says, "For this alliance may so happy prove/To turn your households' rancor to pure love" (2.3.90-91). The friar is marrying the couple for one reason, the chance of stopping the Capulet-Montague feud, and while it being a noble reason, in doing so he puts two young adults at risk. Any sane person would not risk the only heirs of powerful families, lest they get targeted by the families themselves. But the friar, even as a wise holy man, is not in the right mind when he marries Romeo and Juliet. If the friar had refused to marry the couple he would have saved...

...In William Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet, Juliet, Friar Lawrence, and Romeo ostensibly are to blame for the deaths of both Romeo and Juliet. All three come into this context more than other character’s because they started everything from the beginning. Without Romeo and Juliet falling in love so quickly and then wanting to get married so early, none of the conflict would have happened. The Friar, on the other half, was middling with this idea and did not think to put an end to it. Juliet, Friar Lawrence and Romeo all are selfish and caused the deaths of Romeo and Juliet because Juliet had ended up trying everything just because she did not want to leave her lavish lifestyle, Friar Lawrence had only married the two in order to reconcile the...

...the ultimate downfall of Romeo and Juliet, the character that was responsible for the tragedy of Romeo and Juliet was Friar Laurence. One reason that Friar Lawrence is responsible for the death of Romeo and Juliet is because he agreed to marry the two in opposition of his judgment and wisdom. He states, “For this alliance may so happy prove/ To turn your households’ rancor to pure love” (II.vi.10-11) Friar Lawrence married Romeo and Juliet so that their families would stop fighting, which did not work, as a result contributing to their deaths. When he married both of them it was a selfish act because he did not think how it would affect Romeo, Juliet, and their families. Friar Lawrence's judgment to marry Romeo and Juliet contributed to their deaths. Another reason that Friar Lawrence is responsible for the death of Romeo and Juliet because he did not do enough to warn them of the risks. He says, “These violent delights have violent ends/And in their triumph die, live fire and power” (II.vi.10-11). Friar did not emphasize his point enough, he could have said this many times to Romeo and Juliet. He contradicted his words with his actions because he said this and then he agreed to marry both of them to each other. Friar Lawrence did not do enough to warn Romeo...

...In the play Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare, a tale of great loss and tragedy is told. I believe that Friar Lawrence is to blame for the death of Romeo and Juliet because he helped them get married and encouraged their relationship, his plan had many flaws, and he gave up on trying to save Juliet. After Romeo and Juliet met at the balcony, they made plans to be married. Romeo goes to Friar Lawrence to get his help for their marriage. Friar Lawrence agreed to marry them: “In one respect I’ll thy assistant be, for this alliance may be so happy prove to turn your households’ rancor into pure love” (2.397-99). The friar believed that this forbidden marriage might mark the end of the bitter feud between the two families. The friar proved himself to be loyal and peaceful throughout the play, but he was oblivious to the chaos he created by marrying the...

...The characters to blame for Romeo and Juliet’s death are themselves, along with Friar Lawrence. Romeo and Juliet are both to blame because of their impatient attitude and quick decision making, along with their adolescence. I believe that several characters are to blame for other than Romeo and Juliet, but if I had to choose, it would be Friar Lawrence. His encouragement towards Romeo and Juliet being together was a huge impact on how the story turned out. In my opinion, Friar Lawrence is most to blame for the death of Romeo and Juliet. From the beginning of the play, Friar was the one to agree to marry the two of them. Friar should’ve been the practical one, knowing that it was a bad idea to have Romeo and Juliet together, but instead he...

...No plan is perfect, no matter how hard and how much you think about it. A successful, plan consists of having a back up. In the play Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare, Friar Lawrence hastily thought of a plan to reunite Romeo and Juliet. Unfortunately, for Friar Lawrence plan didn’t go the way he wanted it to. “These violents delights have violent ends” (109). Friar Lawrence is trying to stop Romeo and Juliet from getting married. In other words, he tries to warn Romeo and Juliet by saying that what starts violently often has an intense end; he says this because of the fact that Tybalt kills Mercutio, and Romeo killed Tybalt (Juliet’s cousin). In brief, Friar Lawrence warns Romeo and Juliet about their tragedy ending. “For this alliance...

...of the deaths in the play Romeo and Juliet written by William Shakespeare? To narrow it down to just one person, you would have to look at the big picture. Who brought Romeo and Juliet together and united them? Friar Lawrence is the culprit. Friar Lawrence is most responsible for their deaths, because he married the two star crossed lovers. He kept their union a secret, and tried to cover up his mistake by giving Juliet a sleeping potion . Friar Lawrence was “mixing oil and water” when he married Romeo and Juliet. The two teen lovers came from families that had been feuding with each other for generations and generations. Friar Lawrence knew that these families had grudges towards each other, therefore he was aware that he was potentially creating problems by marrying the two star crossed lovers. The Friar's original plan was to bring the two feuding families together. Yet he did not let the families in on the union. By not telling either family, he just kept Romeo and Juliet's love a secret. The Friar should have told the two young lovers to get consent from their parents or refuse to marry them at all....
