Romeo And Juliet Responsible

“Fate is the endless chain of causation, whereby things are; the reason or formula by which the world goes on” the fate of Romeo and Juliet had happened due to a chain reaction of events that had occurred in the three days they fell in love. They are called star-crossed lovers for a reason. The decisions Romeo, Juliet, the Capulets, Montagues, and the friar had affected the course of events that caused the two to give up their lives in the name of love. Rushed love..

The one most responsible for the tragedy that had happened in the past three days is the one named Friar Laurence. The Friar is the one that had come up with the plan for Juliet to fake her death. The plan the Friar created had a more of an unneeded reaction from the whole city of Verona, attracting Romeo to the city as well. Juliet wasn't dead, but only asleep from a potion the Friar made; the idea to give Juliet the potion was the Friar’s as well. After Juliet's so-called death, Romeo assumes Juliet is “dead” in the tomb and kills himself.

The Friar basically created a chain reaction. When Juliet wakes up, he tried to get Juliet to exit the tomb but

failed. Instead of just giving up, the Friar should have persuaded her to get out. Longing to be by the side of her Romeo, she takes his dagger and plunges it into herself dead. Last, the Friar knew that marrying Romeo and Juliet was questionable, but did it anyways. Friar laurence also made the mistake of entrusting Friar John to deliver the important letter to romeo, concerning the Friar's plan. The letter, never being received by Romeo, created a miscommunication and misunderstanding ending in the death of Juliet and Romeo

Friar Laurence was motivated by his love for Romeo and the feuding families. He did everything to get a chance to end the feud and unite the families, the Montagues and Capulets. The Friar wanted to make Romeo and Juliet happy by marrying them. “Eventually, however, he agrees to marry Romeo and Juliet, hoping that the marriage will end the feud between their families” (A2 S2.) The Friar's plan was for Romeo and Juliet to be happily together but backfired. Both families realized that their feud caused Romeo and Juliet to go to extreme measures to be together, and in the end kill themselves.

The tragedy of their death caused Capulets and Montagues to end the feud.

Others may think that Friar Laurence is the one not responsible for this catastrophe. It is true that Benvolio did convince Romeo to go to the Capulet ball, but it was not Benvolio’s fault that Romeo saw Juliet. Benvolio had no intent of Romeo falling in love with Juliet; they went to see Rosaline because she would be attending the Capulet ball as well. Thinking about it, Benvolio didn't have any major effect on Romeo and Juliet’s relationship, although the death of Tybalt slightly did, that would be the only major impact. Unlike the Friar, who actually devised the scheme. “Romeo finds out about the party and discovered that Rosaline, the girl who rejected him, will be present. Benvolio urges Romeo to go to the party to see how Rosaline compares to the other women” (A1

S1.)

Friar Laurence is the culprit for causing all the distress in Verona for the three days of
time. The domino effect the friar created had gone spiraling into darkness when his plan went overboard and lead from one death to another. If the Friar didn't marry them and saw the
fault in marrying them, then maybe they wouldn't have died. The Friar was right that Romeo was rushing into love, but he did not stop Romeo from what he feared, but could have prevented. The outcome The Friar had planned to happened wasn't intend to happen and was unintentional. The consequence the Friar should face is a 15-year sentence, in exile or banishment.
