Introduction
-Explain the central argument of ‘A most lamentable man’
-Cleary state whether you agree or disagree with this argument.
- If you DISAGREE, state why and who you think is responsible for the tragedy of Romeo and Juliet.
-If you AGREE, state why.
'A most lamentable man', written by Christine Marlowe, strongly states that Friar Laurance is not the cause of Romeo and Juliet's death but fate is.
Fate is most responsible for the tragedy for the following reasons: they were called "star-crossed" lovers, therefore no matter what anyone else did in the play it wouldn't have made a difference; the universe was against them and that everyone’s fate is sealed.
I disagree that friar Laurance is the cause of Romeos and Juliet’s death and that fate brought Romeo and Juliet together and that they died together.
