I use to believe that Friar Laurence was the most responsible for Romeo and Juliet's death. I said Friar Laurence because he had the chance to bring everyone together and tell both of the families that Romeo and Juliet are in love and getting married and he will be marrying them, but instead he kept it a secret. Then, he also ended up giving Juliet potion that made her sleep, so she can fake her death and they had this whole plan but the letter didn't get to Romeo so from there is when everything went downhill. See why I thought it was Friar Laurence but then, I realized it's not his fault he believed that he was doing good for helping them, and not realizing what the outcome became. Those weren't Friar Laurence's intentions. …show more content…
So, then I came to realize that Romeo and Juliet are responsible for their own death, because they were so in love they were blinded they didn't realize what they've done. See, Juliet was so hurt that Romeo was abandoned and so he wanted to fake her death so they can run off and be together because she loved him and for that she would do anything to be with him. Romeo would do the same that's why he came and snuck into the tomb to see Juliet, and wait until see awakens from the potion. They are so young but yet they believe in love so much, that they will do absolutely anything to make sure they're together even if it causes death. That's exactly what happened. As, Romeo was waiting for Juliet to wake up like she was suppose to, the potion took a bit longer than planned.
Friar Laurence had giving the wrong time to them, So Romeo believing the time he's gotten frighten and believes Juliet is really dead that the potion had killed her, so therefore he loves Juliet. Like I said he will do anything to be with her even if that means taking his own life to be with her , Romeo killed himself he took a potion and died all because he believed Juliet had died from the potion. So Romeo is dead no way to come back. Finally, Juliet decided to wake up from the potion, as she wakes up she sees Romeo laying there and the potion bottle she cries and realized that he had killed himself so he takes a dagger and kills herself. Boom Juliet is dead she died just because her lover had died. They were both so young and took their beautiful lives to be together in heaven. In summary, it turns out I was wrong about Friar Laurence being the fault for their deaths, he wasn't responsible for that, Romeo and Juliet were for their own deaths, because they both killed themselves , nobody told them to do that but them. Yes, Maybe Friar Laurence could have prevented it from happening but there was nothing he could of done, Romeo and Juliet were way too blinded to listen to anyone. But now they're both at peace

In the classic play Romeo and Juliet, Friar Laurence plays a major part. Romeo and Juliet trusted him entirely as he was the priest of their town. They turned to the Friar for help and advice at a few crucial points in the play. Little did these two lovers know that their decision to turn to Friar Laurence for help would eventually lead to their deaths. Friar Laurence was responsible for the deaths of Romeo and Juliet because he married Romeo and Juliet, he was afraid of committing a sin, and because of his faulty plan for saving Juliet from a marriage to Paris.
I think that Friar Laurence was to a large extent responsible for the deaths of Romeo and Juliet. However, several other factors contributed. and we can not solely blame one person. The circumstances, time period and characters need to be taken into consideration. & nbsp
Unfortunately, their love comes to an end, along with their lives, because of a misunderstanding and a persistent feud between their families. Although there are many characters in this play that have contributed to Romeo and Juliet’s death, Friar Laurence is the person most to blame. Friar Laurence’s actions throughout the play resulted in the two star crossed lovers’ death. He assisted the two when they wanted to get married, which began the disastrous events in the play. Friar Laurence says to Romeo:
...se he believes Juliet to dead, drinks poison to take his own life as a last resort. What Romeo is unaware of is that Juliet is very much alive, so it is very ironic when he says, “Death, that has sucked the honey of thy breath,/ Hath had no power yet upon thy beauty:/ Thou art not conquered; beauty’s ensign yet/ Is crimson in thy lips and in thy cheeks,/ And death’s pale flag is not advanced there” (V iii 101-105). This is fate in the works in the play. When Juliet sees that her love has not rescued her and rather is dead, she kills herself with a dagger found in the proximity. “O happy dagger/ This is thy sheath; there rust and let me die” (V iii 182-183).
Who is the most to blame for the deaths of Romeo and Juliet? In William Shakespeare's play, The Tragedy of Romeo and Juliet, Friar Lawrence gives Juliet a fake poison and when she takes it, she goes into a deep sleep that makes her appear dead. Juliet is then buried in her family's tomb and when Romeo goes to the tomb, he drinks actual poison and kills himself because he cannot bear to be without Juliet. After he dies, Juliet wakes up and sees that Romeo is dead so she stabs herself to death. Friar Lawrence is the one who caused all of this. Friar Lawrence makes three mistakes in this play. His first is when he marries Romeo and Juliet because they came from two feuding families. His second mistake is when he gives Juliet the fake poison to make her look dead. Finally, the friar gives the letter about "the fake death plan" to Friar John when he should have delivered it himself. Despite any other "at fault" characters in Romeo and Juliet, Friar Lawrence is the most responsible for the tragic events that occur in the play because of his miscommunication, dishonesty and poor decision making.
He quickly gathered a few things to go visit her in her tomb. There, after seeing her lying there, Romeo put a vial of poison on his lips so he could forever be with his love. This act of love might have been a bit crazy, but that is how people will remember him. Romeo knew this was what he wanted and had to do to be with Juliet. Romeo died painlessly and unexpectedly.
There is a lot of blame to go around in the play Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare but in the end, Friar Laurence is responsible for Romeo and Juliet’s death. He agrees to marry them, which Romeo took as an act of approval for his and Juliet’s relationship. He also mapped out risky plans that he could have taken more caution when executing. Lastly, he was too wrapped up in the fact that their relationship could bring the Montagues and the Capulets together after too many years of conflict to see that the relationship would bring many dangers and that he should have at least attempted to slow it down.
Good afternoon, my fellow audience. I am here today to persuade you on who I believe to be the character mostly responsible for the death of the two main characters in the play, Romeo and Juliet, a tragedy written by William Shakespeare. It is almost an ironic play because of its open and easily known ending, but yet its ending emerges the controversial question, WHO IS TO BLAME FOR THE DEATH OF ROMEO AND JULIET? I believe every character in the book contributed to their deaths even Romeo and Juliet themselves, but Friar Lawrence bears a monumental deal of the blame because he was the principle and most reliable adult that could have steered the ‘inexperienced’ couple, but his incompetency led Romeo and Juliet to a violent
Juliet receives a vial containing a potion from Friar Lawrence, who has a plan that will make Juliet appear as if she is dead, so that when she awakens, she will unite with Romeo. Juliet considers several consequences before drinking the potion, such as losing her sanity or being buried alive. Despite her reasoning, she summons the courage to drink the potion, exclaiming “Romeo, Romeo, Romeo! Here’s to a drink.
Although many people or factors are involved, Friar Lawrence is the most to blame for Romeo and Juliet's tragic death. In the beginning Friar Lawrence should have never agreed to marry the two star crossed lovers. If he didn't marry them maybe their relationship could be a secret and then no one would die. Friar Lawrence's plan had a lot of flaws and missed crucial parts that were needed for his plan to work.
so then she will appear dead and not have to marry Paris like her father had arranged for her. The next day was the day of Juliet's wedding where she would be married to Paris. The night before she took the potion, the nurse discovered her lying on her bed looking like she had died. Romeo's man witnesses the funeral of Juliet and he tells Romeo of the news. Romeo is crushed so he buys a poison and heads back to Verona to die next to Juliet in her Capulet's tomb.
Friar Laurence, through his lack of good judgment, is largely responsible for the deaths of both Romeo and Juliet. Rather than being supportive of them and helping them disclose their loving situation, Friar Laurence took the “easy” way out. He succumbed to their desire to elope. He secretly married Romeo and Juliet instead of standing behind them and encouraging them to confront their families with the facts about their commitment to and love for each other. As a result, an even stronger bond between them was created through marriage: "For, by your leaves, you shall not stay alone / Till holy church incorporate two in one" (2.6.36-37). Friar Laurence married Romeo and Juliet, hoping that their union would bring an end to the constant feuding between their two families, the Montagues and the Capulets. Though the friar’s intentions were good and above reproach, they were certainly missteps along a pathway to tragedy. None of the tragedies would have occurred if Romeo and Juliet were not married. When Tybalt challenged Romeo...
The major climax of the play comes when the friar gives Juliet a potion that will make it seem as though she has died, when in fact she is alive the whole time. While in Mantua, Romeo mistakenly hears that Juliet has actually died and he goes to lay by her side. Just as he takes a vile of poison and dies Juliet awakens to find her love lying dead at her side. She cannot fathom living in a world without Romeo so she takes his sword and ends her own life.
Friar Laurence, is to blame because of his lack of good judgment. He is responsible for the deaths of both Romeo and Juliet. Instead of Friar Laurence helping Romeo and Juliet with their love situation, Friar Laurence took the easier route. He secretly married Romeo and Juliet instead of helping them face their families. He encouraged the two to confront their families stating that they are committed to each other and married. This only made Romeo and Juliet’s love stronger for one another. “For, by your leaves, you shall not stay alone/Till Holy Church incorporate two in one” (Romeo & Juliet. Act 2. Scene 6. 36-37). This shows Friar Laurence married the two, hoping to end the family feuding. Even though Friar Laurence had some good intentions there were defiantly some errors that happened along the way. So, it can also be seen if the two weren’t married the tragedies wouldn’t have happened. When Tybalt challenged Romeo to a fight, since Romeo was related to Tybalt, he refused to fight him and said, “Tybalt,
Once Juliet wakes up she finds Romeo dead on her lap and says “What’s here? A cup closed in my true love’s hand? Poison, I see, hath been his timeless end. O churl. Drink all, and left no fRiendly drop to help me after?
