Friar Laurence is to blame for the deaths of Romeo and Juliet for three reasons. First, he never should have agreed to marry them in the first place. He did so because of his idea that their marriage might mark the end of the bitter feud between the Montagues and Capulets. The part of his plan which was missing, however, was how the couple would ultimately announce that marriage. Although his heart was certainly in the right place, his decision ignored the possibility that several things could go wrong.
Second, the Friar should not have given Juliet the sleeping potion which would allow her to fake her death. While his plan sounded good in theory, it also had too many variables. When Juliet came to him at the beginning of Act IV, he should
He gave Juliet, a suicidal and unstable fourteen year old girl, a potion to make her appear dead simply because she did not want to marry Paris. Had he simply taken her to Mantua instead of giving her the potion she would have never been put in the situation to kill herself. Friar Laurence displays his irresponsibility when he gives Juliet the vial saying, “if...thou hast the strength of will to slay thyself...take thou this vial... no warmth, no breath shall testify thou livest.” (IV,I,72,93,98).
“It is not in the stars to hold our destiny but in ourselves.” This is an ironic quote from William Shakespeare, who wrote the play, Romeo and Juliet. The main characters in the play, Romeo and Juliet, believe that their lives are all up to destiny, and because of this, they end up killing themselves because of miscommunication. For this, I blame Peter, Juliet, and most of all Romeo for their deaths. One reason why Peter is to blame is he invited Romeo to the party at the Capulet’s mansion for helping him read the list of invitees at the beginning of the play.
In William Shakespeare’s play, The tragedy of Romeo and Juliet, there is a common question asked. Who is to blame for the deaths of Romeo and Juliet? There are many characters in the play to be blamed, but the main three are Feud, Lord Capulet and Friar Lawrence. Feud plays a part in all of this because the Feud between the Montagues and the Capulets with bring Romeo and Juliet together. But Lord Capulet also plays a part in all of this, he didn't want to marry his precious Juliet to Paris right away, but she started to weep and he thought that if she was married, she would be happy, so he forced her into a marriage to Paris with the thought of ending her suffering.
Although Friar Laurence was just trying to help the couple, Friar Laurence’s misguided advice and impulsive decisions is what led to Romeo’s death. Many other characters contributed to Romeo’s death, it was Friar Laurence’s plan that primarily led to Romeo’s death. Firstly, Friar Laurence's decision to marry Romeo and Juliet in secret initiated a chain of events that ultimately led to their tragic end. In Act II, Scene 3, Romeo sought the Friar's help to marry Juliet, despite their families' enmity.
Firstly, The Friar’s plan is created due to his rashness. Juliet comes to the Friar for help as her parents are forcing her to marry Paris. The Friar responds to her by saying, “ When you’re in bed, take this vial, mix its/ contents with liquor, and drink. Then a cold, sleep-/inducing drug will run through your veins, and your/ pulse will stop…”(4.1.95-8). Instead of reasoning with this nervous girl, the Friar rashly gives her a potion.
The Killer Friar A Friar is a man of God. A man of whom is supposed to help God’s loving children and followers and a man whom is supposed to know what is best when it comes to being asked for advice. Friar Laurence in Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet is anything but what a Friar is supposed to be and ends up causing the deaths of four of six characters within the play. Friar Laurence did not physically go up and murder these characters but indirectly caused these deaths through leaving a suicidal alone and relying solely on the Church and himself rather than outside forces.
BLAME WHO?!?! Who do you believe is to Blame? In the play Romeo and Juliet written by Shakespeare, did Friar Laurence become the reason for R+J's death? He married them, gave Juliet the potion vial, and was supposed to send a letter to Romeo. So this means and shows that Friar Laurence is the reason that Romeo and Juliet are both dead.
If Friar didn’t marry them it would of not started the chain reactions of events that occur next. The play ends with three tragic deaths; those including being Romeo and Juliet. Friar Laurence is mostly to blame for the tragic events in Romeo and Juliet, because of he did things in secret, not communicating clearly, and not executing his plans. The first reason why Friar Laurence is to blame is because he married Romeo and Juliet.
Friar Lawrence would take most of the blame for the tragedy of Romeo and Juliet because he was an adviser to them and he was the one who gave Juliet the idea of drinking a 42hr sleeping potion which was not a good idea. He did everything he could to save this relationship but did he ever think twice before doing it? The Friar knew what was going on between Romeo and Juliet yet, he didn’t tell them to slow down, sit and talk to them about their relationship or try talking with both families and try to end the feud between them (if that was the case). He should’ve done something to prevent this from happening. And also, he shouldn’t have given the sleeping potion to Juliet.
Imagine a trusted counselor who betrays others by giving terrible advice. In Romeo and Juliet written by William Shakespeare, a similar situation occurs among Friar Lawrence, Romeo, and Juliet. The opposition believes that Friar Lawrence would not be responsible and it would be Romeo and Juliet’s fault due to do the several years of the hatred toward the two families. After analyzing all the information, it is Friar Lawrence’s fault for the death and Romeo and Juliet because the Friar constantly left out valuable information that he is supposed to tell Romeo or Juliet.
As they arrange a marriage behind everyone’s back, everything seems to be testing them; including a fight that broke out and ended in Tybalt’s murder and Romeo being banished from his hometown, Verona. Juliet could not go without being with her love, Romeo, and quickly had to find a way to be with him before her other marriage that her father arranged for her took place. As the friar arranges a plan for the two star-crossed lovers to reunite, things don’t work out the way they’re supposed to and end in the deaths of both characters. In Shakespeare’s, “Romeo and Juliet” Friar Laurence is to blame for Romeo and Juliet’s deaths because he is devious and has a poor planning ability.
Romeo and Juliet: Friar Laurence is to Blame In Romeo and Juliet, Friar Laurence plays a major role in the deaths of the pair. The Friar is a member of the Order of St. Francis, a group of wise and generous priests, Romeo and Juliet trusted Friar Laurence and his insight, turning to him for advice, and solutions. However, Friar Laurence’s rash decision in marrying Romeo and Juliet, his reckless plan for rescuing Juliet from an arranged marriage with Paris, and his fear of committing sin all added to the deaths of Romeo and Juliet. 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. Friar Laurence, through his lack of good
When thinking about tragedies William Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet comes to mind. Romeo and Juliet is a tragic story that takes place in Verona where the Montagues and Capulets fight due to their generations of hate. Which their rage ends the life of two lovers, Romeo and Juliet. Romeo, the son of Montague, is a love sick and emotional young man that would do anything to win love. Juliet, the daughter of Capulet, is a thirteen years old young girl that fell in love with Romeo.
He was trained to be kind, responsible, and believe in humility, but one of the Friar’s biggest issues was his ego and his lack of following through. He thought that he was the only person smart enough to make peace between the two feuding houses. He thought that marrying Romeo and Juliet would automatically make peace and when it didn't, he makes up a plan that could had fixed the families and saved their children if he had executed it correctly. He was so pleased that he made a plan that seemed infallible, he sent away a letter to Romeo explaining his idea and not to worry if you hear about juliet dying because she is just under a sleeping potion, But He did say of the urgency of the letter to the deliver and it doesn't get sent in time. Meanwhile Juliet is alone in a tomb with nobody watching her, The Friar should had been there making sure she was safe.
Friar Laurence is to blame as well because if he would have went and told Romeo personally about the plan which was to put Juliet to sleep for 42 hours and when she woke up Romeo was to be there at her side. If Friar Laurence wasn 't lazy Romeo 's death could have been avoided. Next, Friar Laurence would have went into the Monument with Juliet waiting for Romeo instead of showing up after; Romeo would have not assumed that Juliet was dead and then proceed to kill himself. Friar had the chance to fix the previous mistake of not talking to Romeo face to face. I say that because when he found out that the letter didn 't get to Romeo he should have went to the Tomb where Juliet was and sat there with her until she awakened and explained to her what happened and sat together waiting for
