In the play of Romeo and Juliet there we many people to blame for their deaths: Romeo, Juliet, Tybalt, Friar John. The person who had the biggest influence on Romeo and Juliet was Friar Lawrence. Everyone trusted him especially Romeo. Friar Lawrence affected Romeo and his family in many ways. Friar Lawrence already knew about Rosaline but once he found out about Juliet he thought this could be the solution to their family feud. "In one respect i'll thy assistant be, for this alliance may so happy prove to turn your households' rancor to pure love." He wanted to marry them so that both families would stop fighting.

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.
In Romeo and Juliet, a tragedy by William Shakespeare, Friar Lawrence plays a dominate role in the eventual death of Romeo and Juliet even though he is not on stage for most of the play.

Friar Lawrence believes that this holy marriage would bring the Capulet family and Montuague family closer together, for he anticipates that the families will stop hating each other and be peaceful. His attempts to make the marriage of Romeo and Juliet are admirable but poorly planned.
Romeo and Juliet died for they're love, they did everything they could to stay together as lovers. They're deaths wasn't planned it was all in the hands of one person. In my perspective Friar Laurence was the main blame for the death of the couple. I believe this because if Friar Laurence could have went to the families and told them that the feud between them would have to end. Everyone trusted Friar Laurence, if he would've asked them to stop there's a good chance Romeo and Juliet would still be alive.

The introduction to this character shows us that he just wants both of the families to come together and be one. In the mists of this Romeo brings up the topic of his love interest to Friar, and automatically it Friar Lawrence has something to say about how wonderful the news was. He decides to marry them, even tho both families have not consented to the marriage, and he is willing to keep it a secret. Once Romeo kills Tybalt and is banished the Friar comes up with a plan to get the two lovers back together. Although he doesn’t carry out the plan himself by giving the letter to Romeo to explain what has happened to Juliet, which he should have done, it leaves the sense that he is to blame for the deaths of the two children in love. If the letter to Romeo would have been delivered from the Friar Lawrence Romeo and Juliet both wouldn’t have killed themselves, but would have ran off to be one.
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.

Many debate and argue the place of blame Shakespeare shows for the untimely death of Romeo and Juliet, which some push towards fate, but truly falls on the characters’ shoulders. Forces originating from inside themselves and from other roles in the play result in the piteous death of the two seemingly “star-crossed lovers”.

William Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet is an important play because of serious and severe mistakes that lead to the tragic deaths of the two star-crossed lovers. Once a mistake is made, the consequences of it pour forward almost immediately. Lord Capulet lacks the ability to empathize, which leads him to unknowingly make a mistake. The Nurse does not believe in intense and spiritual love and it is this belief that leads her to make the blunder of betraying Juliet. Friar Lawrence thinks he can help everyone but he lacks discernment and this ends up contributing to his numerous blunders throughout the play. Romeo and Juliet’s deaths are caused because of their own flaws, actions and hasty decisions, but equally due to the copious obstacles
In The Tragedy of Romeo and Juliet I believe the Friar Lawrence is at fault, there were many warning signs that he wasn't doing the right thing and he did what was in his best interest. Sometimes you don’t mean to mess things up, but you end up anyway. That's what ended up happening to the friar in my opinion. He found himself caught in a terrible situation that turned for the worse after some of his controversial decisions. Those decisions range from when he first agreed to marry the two young lovers to when he failed to inform the families after things started to get grotesque. Then his last and final tragic mistake was when he came up with an irrational plan to keep Romeo and Juliet together and keep Juliet from marrying Paris.
Friar Lawrence had the potential to prevent the deaths of Romeo and Juliet, and instead, because of his choices, he caused them. Yes, the other characters may have contributed to Romeo and Juliet’s death, but Friar Lawrence caused it. The blame rests solely on his soldiers. Works Cited Aubrey, Bryan.
