The marriage of Romeo and Juliet was not meant to be, but it was made by Friar Lawrence. The marriage led to some of the turning points in the rest of the story. The three are responsible for their death because of their marriage and the plans they made to avoid having to get remarried. The families are also responsible for the death of the two because they did not let the two be together and forced them to marry others.

death of their children, the families saw that their feud was dumb. It showed them that if they would have let Romeo and Juliet be together and not have insisted that Juliet marry Paris that their children would still be alive and happy. He was looking at the big picture and that was trying to end the feud of the two families. If he had not married the two Juliet’s parents would have forced her to marry Paris. She did not love Paris, but she loved Romeo. Claim: It was not right for Friar Lawrence to marry Romeo and Juliet Evidence: The Friar was not supposed to do the marriage because of the church. The marriage killed the two. They were too young to be married. It might not have been real love. The Friar did not tell the families of the marriage so they tried to marry Juliet to Paris. The Friar now has to create a plan for Juliet to not marry Paris. Juliet loses her best friend the Nurse. Reasoning: The first thing that was done wrong about their marriage was hold old they were.
The two were too young to be married. Juliet wasn’t even thirteen before she got marriage. Maybe the two did not fully love each other. Maybe they were just infatuated with each other. The two could maybe fall out of love with each other later and divorce. The marriage basically helped cause the death of the two. If he would told the two families that he married Romeo and Juliet, he would not have had to create his potion plan. Without the potion plan Juliet never fake died which meant that the couple would have stayed alive. If he had not married them Juliet would’ve married Paris. Even though she did not love Paris she would have still been living.
Conclusion
The Friar was right about what he did. The marriage of Romeo and Juliet was both good and bad, but mostly good. The marriage helped to bring peace and unity between the families. It also brought happiness to the two lovers. The bad part was that the families did not see the error of their ways fast enough to stop the feud that their children had to die for it. If they would have noticed it before everyone could have been
happy.
Did you know that Romeo and Juliet was one of the biggest love story of all time. Romeo and Juliet is a story of two star-crossed lovers from two families the Capulets and the Montagues. The Capulets and the Montague had a big fight that made the families very angry at each other. Romeo and Juliet decide to get married. The two couple marry and run away. In the process both of them will die. When it comes to Romeo and Juliet who are the top three people that caused the two to die. The two people that are chosen are Friar Lawrence and Lady Capulet. Friar was chosen because he is the one that married Romeo and Juliet. Lady Capulet was chosen because she is forcing Juliet to marry Paris which is making Juliet want Romeo even more. The third thing
The Friar thought that this marriage will end an ancient grudge of two prominent families, when it will only separate them even more. Friar Laurence was helping Capulet and Lady Capulet mourn over Tybalt’s death. Paris says, "With these times of woe afford no time to woo!" . If everything was thought about clearly and not rushed through then none of this would have happened and Romeo and Juliet would not have died such a tragic death. Another example of the Friar lying is by not telling Montague and Lady Montague of Romeo and Juliet’s elopement. This only made matters worse, and now both Romeo and Juliet are dead. The Friar made this marriage a huge mistake, and he could have stopped the whole thing right there and then by just saying no.
When he says this, he is stating he will assist Romeo by marring the two, because through the marriage their families may learn to love each other; therefore ending the fight. Friar Laurence only married the two lovers because he thought it would have a positive impact on the families’ feud. However, he should of thought about the consequences and how since the head of the families were unaware, the marriage could only have negative affects. Also, they were never m...
First of all, the Friar unwisely agreed to marry Romeo and Juliet, even though he knows it will cause later problems. In the beginning, the Friar thinks that ".this alliance may so happily prove/ To turn your households' rancor to pure love." (II iv 91-92) This shows that the Friar has a slight hope of their marriage possibly working. Therefore, he decides to marry the two lovers.
If the Friar had not interfered, Romeo and Juliet would be alive now. Romeo and Juliet written by William Shakespeare tells the story of two young lovers from rival families. They fell in love, but they knew their family would not approve of their love. They would rather die than be apart. The friar married the two and made all the plans, he didn't stay with Juliet while she was unconscious, and he left Juliet alone with her dead husband. The friar is to blame for Romeo and Juliet's deaths because he did not take the necessary precautions to ensure the safety of the young couple.
The forbidden wedding of Romeo and Juliet could not have happened without the Friar. First of all, the Friar impulsively agreed to marry Romeo and Juliet, even though he knows it will cause later problems. In the beginning, the Friar thinks that "...this alliance may so happy prove; To turn your households' rancor to pure love." (II iv 91-92) Which shows that the Friar has a slight hope of their marriage possibly working. Consequently, at first, he shows no reluctance to marry the two controversial lovers. However, as time moves on, the Friar lets on that he has regrets about the marriage. The Friar feels that "Too swift arrives as tardy as too slow." (II vi 15) In other words, the Friar means that he senses that this whole wedding is happening too fast and he radiates a feeling of second thought. If the Friar had thought this crucial decision through he may have prevented many future tragedies. Accordingly, the Friar knows all along that "These violent delights have violent ends" (II vi 9) The Friar knows that this is an impossible situation, which if made possible by himself will without a doubt end up in tragedy in one way or another. Under these conditions, as the Friar predicts, Romeo sinks into a deep depression, as a result of the fact that he cannot see his wife. Romeo has a one-track mind that is focused on something he cannot have. Similarly, Juliet becomes depressed and is grieving over the reality of her and Romeo's separation. Without the Friar the two lovers would not have been married, which would have prevented both of these depressions and future problems to come.
...e story that soon brought us to the anticipated tragic ending. If not noticed before, it should be brought to attention that everything bad that happened in the story started to come to play right after the wedding that the Friar made possible. Things were going swell for Romeo, he had just gotten married and everything was just fantastic until the death of Mercutio and Tybalt, where things started to get worse. If the wedding would not have happened so fast or at all, the story would not have been about two star-crossed lovers, but maybe two lovers who fought their judging families for love to have a satisfactory ending. This is not how the story of Romeo and Juliet gets its fame though. The tragedy is what makes up the story, all thanks to the Friar. This is why the Friar should be at blame for the ending of Shakespeare's "The Tragedy of Romeo and Juliet".
“Like all young people, Romeo and Juliet are uncertain and hasty in their first encounters with the problems of reality.” (Ribner, 474). Romeo and Juliet might have been in love, but they never had a chance to fully love one another, because they were together for only a short period of time. The only people that know about their love were the Nurse and Friar Lawrence. The nurse, who sided with Romeo and Juliet being together in the beginning, quickly changed her mind and told Juliet that she go
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...
In William Shakespeare's The Tragedy of Romeo and Juliet, two young lovers lost their lives when hate and love collided. From the Montagues came Romeo and from the Capulets came Juliet. The two families were feuding and Romeo and Juliet could not stand being without each other. They both killed themselves because they thought life was not worth living without the other. Though there are many who can be blamed for this tragic ending, there are three that are the most responsible.
In the play, Romeo and Juliet, there are several significant details that help the reader determine who really is responsible for their death. First, the character Friar Laurence failed to deliver the letter that explained that juliet wasn’t dead. Anoher important detail is that he agreed to marry them because he believed it would end their families feud. The third detail important to the play is that Friar Laurence suggested that juliet fake her own death. Another. These details are significant because they play a contributing role in why both Romeo and Juliet died.
	Due to the secret marriage, Romeo and Juliet tragically die. Had Romeo and Juliet announced their wedding, they could still be alive. Juliet would not have had to fake her death to get out of the arranged marriage with Paris if she had told her parents about her and Romeo. Romeo does not receive the information of the Friar and Juliet's plan in time, and he kills himself in anguish over her death. As Juliet awakes from her slumber, she sees Romeo dead. Juliet then kills herself in bereavement over Romeo's death. Had Romeo and Juliet announced their wedding, then none of these tragic events ever would have happened as a result of their parents dispute.
They felt that if one had died the other one could have no lived on because they couldn't live without each other. The fact that Romeo and Juliet were the reason they died is what made the tragic ending. The driving forces that of their death would be hiding the relationship, all the other deaths and their parents hating each other. “Then move not while my prayer's effect I take. Thus from my lips, by thine my sin is purged”(1.5.118-119) When Romeo wants to kiss her right away and thinks that he likes her although they haven't even talked in person yet. In the play Romeo and Juliet, Romeo thinks that right as he sees her that she's his and wants to kiss her yet he was just judging her by her looks and not her personality. “Holy Saint Francis! What a change is here” (2.3.73-74) Friar Lawrence is saying their vows to get married but they were so starcrossed they didn't realise it was too early. Perhaps they're death could have been cause by their rash decision of getting married. When Romeo and Juliet get married they think that it will bring both of the sides together although they were rash about it because they don’t know it will bring the sides together they just assume. “To turn your households rancor to pure love” (2.3.99-100) Romeo and Juliet decide that if they get married that it will bring both sides together although they have no idea that can even
Hate and love are two of the most important feelings we experience as humans. Hate starts wars, brings deaths and causes us to make decisions we can regret in the future. Love connects us, represents peace and helps us through tough times. These feelings are also driving forces of the storyline in "Romeo and Juliet". Published by Shakespeare in 1597, "Romeo and Juliet" describes a tale of forbidden love that resulted in the deaths of both Romeo and Juliet. The story begins in Verona, Italy. Two families, the Montagues, and Capulets despise each other. However, two children from opposite families, Romeo and Juliet, find themselves in love. In the end, they both commit suicide, only then do the families forgive one another. But, what really caused Romeo's death? Was it his love for Juliet that pushed him to suicide? Or was it hate between the Montagues and Capulets that forced Romeo's love story to end early? However, both love and
Friar Laurence, the man that married Romeo and Juliet, is very much a man of God. The Friar agreed to keep their marriage secret, but second guessed how Romeo truly felt. He felt that Romeo is moving too quickly with Juliet. The
