While Romeo was banned from Verona and Juliet was sleeping, Friar Lawrence had to make sure his letter got to Romeo in Mantua. The man he sent came back telling him that there's an infection going around near Mantua and nobody wants to go and get infected. As Friar states, "Hath had no notice of these accidents. But I will write to Mantua, and keep her [Juliet] at my cell till Romeo come" (5.3.28-30). What he is saying is that he will write to Romeo again and keep Juliet at his office. While Romeo never got a letter from Friar Lawrence, Balthazar came to Romeo and told him that Juliet was really dead. Balthazar could get to Romeo but the man whom the Friar sent couldn't. Either Friar has a poor choice in delivery men, or he truly didn't care enough to make sure Romeo got that letter sooner. Friar's carelessness lead Romeo to kill himself, because he thought she was really dead. That leads Juliet to kill herself when she wakes up and finds Romeo dead.
To conclude, Friar Lawrence married Romeo and Juliet. He gave Juliet a potion to make her seem dead, and then he was careless in letting Romeo know of Juliet’s plan. Even though he did not literally kill them, his actions lead to their untimely deaths. This story is a classic that should be read to everyone, not because it's famous, but because the story shows how life is fragile, and how teenage love is one of the most powerful and destructive

Romeo and Juliet is a romantic love story about a young lad named Romeo who has fallen in love with Lady Juliet, but is unable to marry her because of a long-lasting family feud. The play ends in the death of both these characters and the reunion of the friendship between the families. Romeo is in love with Juliet, and this is a true, passionate love (unlike the love Paris has for her or the love Romeo had for Rosaline) that nothing can overcome, not even the hatred between their two families that is the reason for the death of their two children.
