The Blame As is the case with many others, Romeo and Juliet fell in love accidentally in the story “Romeo and Juliet,” by William shakespeare. Romeo’s unreal love for Rosaline was soon cleared with the introduction of the capulets daughter, Juliet. As can be known with any tragedy, their love failed. While many reasons remain for this failure, including fate, young age and a no rationality, it will be argued in this essay that Friar Lawrence also played a role in their love’s failure. Without thinking, Romeo and Juliet became victims of their own love chargeable to Friar Lawrence, young age and fate.
Shakespeare uses monologue, in Romeo and Juliet, to reveal how attentive Friar Lawrence was to portray that one would try to direct another, who has gone astray, toward the right path. After the prince declared Romeo is banished from Verona, Romeo was crying “tears [that were] womanish” about his banishment on the floor of Friar Lawrence’s chamber (Romeo and Juliet 3.3.120). Friar thought Romeo had matured after his mishap with Juliet’s cousin, Tybalt, but saw that he was an “unseemingly woman in a seeming man”(3.3.122). He then began to understand that Romeo’s “wild acts” were caused by “the unreasonable fury of the beast” inside him (3.3.120-21). Friar couldn’t believe that Romeo had chosen to “[kill] the love which [he] hast vowed to cherished” and he reminded him that “[he], the dear love [had sworn], but was a hollow perjury”(3.3.138-39). He knew that Romeo has a “noble shape, but [with] a form of wax, digressing from the valor of a man”(3.3.136-37).
The Friar mistakenly thinks he has been with Rosaline all night. Romeo clears up the miscommunication and tells him he is talking about Juliet. The Friar yells at Romeo for being so indecisive. For example the Friar says, “Lo, here upon thy cheek the stain doth sit of an old tear that has not stained yet.” The Friar is scolding Romeo because he was just crying over Rosaline a day ago and now he supposedly is in love with someone else.
Romeo, an overly dramatic character, is one who does not think things through. Romeo’s death was caused due to Friar Laurence, who failed to send a letter informing Romeo that Juliet was simply in a death like sleep. Romeo, being one to jump to solutions stated, ‘Noting this penury, to myself I said, “ An if a man did need a poison now”… (Shakespeare 5:1 Lines 51-52)’.
“Two opposed kings encamp them still In man as well as herbs”. In the play Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare, Friar Laurence’s soliloquy expands upon the idea of of plants and herbs relating to themes and characters in the play. Friar Laurence's soliloquy foreshadows to the end of the play, and death of Romeo and Juliet
Young men’s love then lies / Not truly in their hearts, but in their eyes… In one respect I’ll thy assistant be; / For this alliance may so happy prove / To turn your households’ rancor to pure love” (2.3.65-92). The friar tells Romeo that he does not love Juliet, he only loves her appearance, but he marries them anyways to possibly end the feud. The friar makes impulsive decisions without giving the situation much thought. He also performs another act of impetuosity in Act IV.
Romeo cuts Friar Lawrence off. Romeo- i beg your pardon sir but….. Juliet is not dead.
The tragic love story of Romeo And Juliet was a great story, but the real fault of the death was caused by Friar Lawrence. Juliet and Romeo was married by Friar Lawrence. The marriage was held secretly so no one would know. In the story Romeo was sent off. Juliet 's parents wanted her to marry County Paris because they had no idea of hers and Romeo 's marriage.
In William Shakespeare’s timeless play Romeo and Juliet, two star crossed lovers are faced with great adversity as they hide their romance from their feuding families. As author James Lane Allen once said, “Adversity does not build character, it reveals it”. Romeo, a Montague, struggles to hide his love for the Capulet daughter, Juliet, from his family and friends. The challenge of lying to his closest companions, and going against his family’s ways to secretly marry Juliet causes Romeo to act erratically and carelessly. Throughout Act 3 Scene One, Shakespeare exposes the lovestruck Romeo’s mercurial nature and impulsivity through his thoughtless actions.
Romeo tells Tybalt, “I do protest I never injur’d thee, but love thee better than thou canst devise” (162). Romeo tells Tybalt he loves him but cannot tell him the reason why, the reason being they are technically family now through his marriage to Juliet. Mercutio grows frustrated because Tybalt calls Romeo a villain, Mercutio believes Tybalt should not get away with being so insulting. Romeo reacts to being called a villain by saying “I love you so I don’t care that you called me a bad name. But you clearly don’t know me very well, goodbye!”
Also in Act 1 Narrator says “Romeo slew Tybalt”. Romeo killed Tybalt because Tybalt slew Mercutio. This stirred up Romeo and Juliet’s deaths. Romeo’s actions have lead to his and Juliet’s death. Which then leads to many consequences.
Juliet had woken up and while looking for Romeo only to find him slumped over her tomb with a mouthful of poison. Friar Laurence tried to get to Romeo before he got to Juliet but obviously that didn’t work. One he ended up in her tomb, other people weren’t too far behind. He says, “I hear some noise. Lady, come from that nest …
The Friar genuinely cared about Romeo, as he tried to provide the best advice to the young man. Prior to their marriage, Friar Laurence urged Romeo to be more cautious with his feelings, considering that he fell out of love with Rosaline so quickly. “Holy Saint
Scene 3. Line 65). Friar Laurence tries to keep romeo on the right path and he is always trying to look out for the best for Romeo. Parents should take their children’s identity crushes serious too because these crushes are what their children’s are looking up to and if they’re not showing support to what their children’s believe in it is going to
says to Romeo, “These violent delights have violent ends”. This is foreshadowing both Romeo and Juliet’s death by saying that the heavens have given Romeo a blessing, but every delight must come to an end. As Friar Lawrence tries to help Juliet, he could come to make things worse instead of better. His plan has many complex situations that could lead to having a bigger problem.
