Braelen Jarrett 1/22/2018 My thesis statement is that Friar Lawrence is the person to blame for Romeo and Juliet's death. The character that I have chosen is Friar Lawrence. Lawrence was a holy man and a priest. In the classic play of Romeo and Juliet. Lawrence was the adviser in Romeo and Juliet isolation. Romeo came to Lawrence and asked him to marry him to Juliet. Friar Lawrence agreed to marry the two lovers in secret. While Lawrence began to marry the two, he was hoping that it would heal the feud between the Montagues and the Capulets. When Romeo was banish for killing Tybalt, he flees to
Mantua. Lawrence tries to get the two back together by faking Juliet's death. Friar Lawrence sent a message to Romeo to explain the plan about faking Juliet's death. The massage didn’t reach Romeo because the people of Mantua thought that the messenger came from a house that has a plague. Romeo came back to the tomb where Juliet's body was and thought that she pass. Romeo committed suicide and Lawrence came to the tomb, seeing that Romeo had killed himself he fled from the tomb because he heard the watch coming. When Juliet woke up from her slumber at the tomb and saw Romeo dead she picks up his knife and kill herself. If Friar Lawrence was not created the, ending would be different. If he wouldn’t have given Juliet the sleeping potion to fake her death both Romeo and Juliet would still be alive. If he would have stayed in the tomb with Juliet, when Romeo got to the tomb he could have told him that she was just in a slumberand not dead.
In the story of “Romeo and Juliet” it ends with both of them dying. The question is, who is to blame? Friar Lawrence should immediately be punished by the Prince for the deaths of Romeo and Juliet. He should be punished because Friar kept secrets from everyone but Romeo and Juliet, he planned Juliet's death, and he planned Romeo and Juliet's runaway.
Friar Laurence’s interference in the families of Romeo and Juliet set much of the fighting, rage and death of these characters into motion. Romeo and Juliet is the title of a great tragedy. This tragedy has been caused by Friar Laurence’s involvement in the marriage of Romeo and Juliet, the Friar’s lying to Capulet and his family, and his involvement in the false death of Juliet.
"Romeo and Juliet," a famous love story about two star-crossed lovers who take their lives in order to be together. Their deaths are at the fault of one Friar Lawrence who, being an adult, a man of God and a trusted person in the community, betrayed that trust and attempted to cover up his wrong doings with a plan that ended in tragedy.
Sometimes a trusted friend cannot give you good advice. In the play, Romeo and Juliet, by William Shakespeare, the character Friar Lawrence was a trusted friend who cost his friends their lives.Friar Lawrence is responsible for Romeo and Juliet’s deaths because he helped them rush their relationship and came up a faulty plan that eventually cost them their lives.
Primarily, the lazy and neglectful Friar Lawrence is to blame for Romeo and Juliet’s death. First of all, Romeo discovers Juliet supposedly dead, unaware that she is actually not dead. Romeo is obviously not informed about the plan, Friar Lawrence’s thoughtlessness is clearly shown when Romeo says “Come, bitter conduct, come, unsavoury guide! / Thou desperate pilot, now at once run on / The dashing rocks thy sea-sick weary bark! / Here’s to my love! [Drinks]. O true apothecary” (Shakespeare V, iii, 116-119). If Friar personally went to tell Romeo about Juliet’s plans, instead of promptly assuming that Romeo would get the letter, then Romeo would have not killed himself. The Friar should have taken the time and energy to make a face to face verbal exchange with Romeo, therefore it would have been merely impossible to
Youth and Age Should Friar Lawrence and the Nurse have been more careful about the way they encouraged Romeo and Juliet’s love? To what extent does Shakespeare present them as being to blame?
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.
...it has been debated endlessly on who is the real culprit of Romeo and Juliet's death. The most logical suspect as to why they really are dead is Friar Lawrence. Whether it is his unthoughtful actions or his bad timing, he is the one to blame. Before the untimely event of their deaths, Friar Lawrence was respected by almost everyone in Verona. However, his bad decisions including: marrying Romeo and Juliet without their parents' consent, giving Juliet a risky potion and plan, and not following through with his promises, led to his downfall. Friar Lawrence is the person closest linked to the event of Romeo Montague and Juliet Capulet's death.
to Romeo and he acted irresponsibly by just sending only one. letter and not thinking that this letter will reach Mantua or not. In conclusion, I think the most responsible is Friar Lawrence because he made a risky plan which led to the deaths of the two lovers. The The second character that I think is the most to blame for the deaths of Romeo and Juliet is Romeo himself, because he was too quick to fall in. love, he was in love first with Rosaline then Juliet.
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.
WHO IS THE BLAME? Good afternoon, my fellow audience. I am here today to persuade you on who I believe to be the character most 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 raises 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 death.
Friar Laurence made many poor and irresponsible choices throughout the play, and these choices ended up being fatal for Romeo and Juliet. By making these decisions, he is the single person that was most responsible for the tragic outcome of the play. The reasons Friar Laurence is the one who should be blamed for Romeo and Juliet’s death is because he gave a potion to Juliet to make her act dead, he did not deliver a letter of great significance and importance to Romeo, and he fled when Juliet was in the most danger at the Capulet’s tomb. These are the three significant mistakes that caused the deaths of two of literature’s most famous lovers.
Friar Lawrence is responsible for the deaths of the lovers, because he was secretive, did not communicate well, and he was a coward. He had the potential to stop everything and prevent the deaths. If he only had thought things through Romeo and Juliet would’ve survived. The deaths of Romeo and Juliet solely rest on the Friar’s shoulder. The Friar set up everything that happened and created a huge mess that could have been prevented. Sure other character contributed to the deaths but Friar Lawrence is the biggest contributor.
In Shakespeare's play, Romeo and Juliet, Friar Laurence has a major role. As a member of the Order of St. Francis, a group of wise and generous priests, Romeo and Juliet trusted Friar Laurence completely, turning to him for advice, and solutions. He was there throughout Romeo’s and Juliet's lives; he married them, came up with a plan to keep them together, and was a friend throughout their tragedies. However, Friar Laurence’s rash action in marrying Romeo and Juliet, his shortsighted plan for rescuing Juliet from an unwanted marriage to Paris, and his fear of committing sin all contributed to the deaths of Romeo and Juliet.
But, once reading the book thoroughly and consulting several sources, it is obvious who is solely to blame- Friar Lawrence. Because of the actions of Friar Lawrence, the play ended with two grieving families instead of two happy newlyweds. Although many characters contributed to their deaths, only Friar Lawrence was solely responsible for them. Friar Lawrence’s cowardice, secrecy, and miscommunication led directly to the deaths of Romeo and Juliet. The first factor that played a key part in the deaths of Romeo and Juliet is the fact that Friar Lawrence was a coward.
