“Yea, noise? Then i’ll be brief. Oh happy dagger! This thy sheath: there rust, let me die.” , the last words of Juliet Capulet. In the play, The Tragedy of Romeo and juliet, by William Shakespeare, a famous poet, is a tale of a young teenage couple from two feuding families that fall in love one night and die about three days later. Some may say that the families and the prince were responsible for the tragedy, but the one who should have most of the blame is friar Lawrence. Despite his help on marrying the younger lovers, he’s to blame for his plan on preventing another marriage, his reasons to marry the two, and the consequences of what he did. Although his reason to marry Romeo and juliet was a good intention, however he knew the consequences of the marriage and was ignorant of the prince’s word. The intention was that he’ll marry the two lovers in order for the families to stop their feud and because …show more content…
Some could argue that the evidence isn’t that much proof for the man’s crime, but consider that if the families were to ever find both of their children are married it could result in a bigger fight which Friar was aware and yet he married them any despite him knowing the situation.

In the beginning of the play, the prince came into the streets of Verona and tells the Montagues and the Capulets that if they fight again the prince will kill them as a result ( Act 1 scene 1, 74-95). The reason this evidence is significant is that fact that in the earlier discussion for the story said that friar decides to marry the two even though it’ll be against the parents’ will and based from his dialogue he’s taking a risk like it’s not
In the play “The Tragedy of Romeo and Juliet” the prince states that someone will be punished for Romeo and Juliet’s death, and in my eyes, I foresee that Friar Lawrence is going to get blamed dur to his elaborate plans and making them keep fighting. For example, why would Friar Lawrence let Romeo and Juliet if he knew that neither of the parents would have allowed it. “Come, come with me, and we will make short work. For, by your leaves, you shall not stay alone Till holy church incorporate two in one.” That connects to my first claim because it shows how willingly and fast he wanted to get them married so they can have some alone time.
Tybalt- although a character not often thought of too much in the play of Romeo and Juliet, he does have some significance to the story. He’s important enough to be killed, anyway. It is said that he was killed by Romeo... but is that really true? Yes, Romeo did stab him to death, but who is the real person to blame? The culprit here would be none other than… Tybalt himself!
Although many characters were to blame for the tragic ending, these characters were ultimately the main reason why Romeo and Juliet’s lives were cut short. However, despite the fact that William Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet was written in the 16th century, it reflects similar types of problems that we have faced in the twenty-first century. Although we may not have the same problems like the plague or deadly family feuds that were during the 1500s and 1600s, we have several problems like the following recent tragedies: the Isis Paris Attack, the Zika Virus outbreak, the San Bernardino Shooting, and the Antigo High School Shooting. Clearly, tragedy is an inevitable thing and is not only one person’s fault. Tragedy can be seen anywhere whether

Mario Teguh: “ Never make a permanent decision when you’re upset, sad, jealous, or in love.” In the story of Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare, the title characters made permanent decisions while they were upset, and this lead to their dermises.

In times of tragedy, people look for answers and someone to blame. This is the case in William Shakespeare 's Romeo and Juliet. The character, Friar Lawrence who was a trusted man of the cloth, allowed the two young protagonists Romeo and Juliet from opposing families to get married. Then later in the novel, he created a plan with the hope of the two lovers being together after they were separated by a tragic event, but ended with the two killing themselves. Being so, Friar Lawrence is the cause of the tragic ending in Romeo and Juliet, as he agreed to marry the two lovers without their parents permission, and devised a plan that ended with the lovers suicide.
The concept of blame is extremely prevalent within the play, “Romeo and Juliet,” written by William Shakespeare. More precisely, whose fault it is for the death of the two star crossed lovers for which whom are the protagonists. There are many different opinions on the topic of whose fault it is for the death of Romeo and Juliet, but it is very widely thought to be Friar Lawrence’s fault, along with Romeo and Juliet, for the unanticipated death of the two star crossed lovers.

Friar Lawrence also made the daring decision of marrying Romeo and Juliet. The marriage of Romeo and Juliet was an illegal marriage because they were each from opposite opposing families.

I do spy a kind of hope/ Which craves as desperate an execution/ As that is desperate which we would prevent,” said by Friar Lawrence himself, shows just how desperate and daring this plan to reunite Romeo and Juliet really is, but there is hope (4, 1, 69-71).
This ultimately resulted in the deaths of Romeo and Juliet at the fault of Friar Laurence. To begin, one way that the blame for the deaths of Romeo Montague and Juliet Capulet can be placed on Friar Lawrence is the fact that he is the one who officiated the marriage in the first place. Had he not done this, and simply went straight to their parents and reported them as he should have, it would be highly likely that they would have just separated since their parents knew about the relationship. This is shown with the quote, "Come, come with me, and we will make short work; / For, by your leaves, you shall stay not alone /
Romeo and Juliet's deaths are not all Friar Lawrence's fault. Many people are to blame for their deaths. It is lord Capulet's fault because he continues the feud making there love forbidden. It's also Romeos and Juliets fault because they both dont think about their actions causing not only their own deaths but others to. The deaths of the star crossed lovers is mostly due to people not thinking about their actions causing rivalries between the families if the feud wasn't there then there love would be accepted.
