Romeo and Juliet is a story written by William Shakespeare of a romantic tragedy that happened between Romeo and Juliet. The story teaches us to think intensively before we do something that can impact our lives so greatly. The story also teaches us how love can affect the decisions that we make rapidly. As a secondary character, Friar Lawrence was a mentor to Romeo; he taught him new things and helped to light a path that would make his future sophisticated. At the end of the story, Friar Lawrence made an impact on the tragedy that occurred where Juliet and Romeo die for their love for each other. Without Friar Lawrence in the story, the end tragedy may have not happened; furthermore Romeo and Juliet may not have been together
forever.
Montague and Capulet’s were banned to be together as a result of being enemies, but Romeo was a Montague and Juliet was a Capulet. They found every possible way to be together without their parents or family ever having knowledge of the intermix between them as a couple. Friar made a plan to keep them together forever as a couple that included making a strong sleeping potion strong enough to fake Juliet’s own death despite of her father’s chosen path. When Romeo thought she had truly died, he killed himself to lie right next to her forever. It did not matter to him the consequences, dead or alive he grieved to be right next to her for the rest of his life.
If Shakespeare had not had the idea to add Friar Lawrence to the story, this end result would never have happened. He made up the plan of Juliet faking her death along with the poison she used. Romeo and Juliet would never have lived the life they did nevertheless the animosity their parents had for each other. The two of them may have still found love in each other, but in the end would have lived a very diverse life.
The thought Shakespeare put into creating Friar as a secondary character allowed Juliet and Romeo able to stay together. Notwithstanding the two of them dying, they ended their life satisfied as well as in love. Friar’s plan was a great plan that ended with tragedy but not shame. Had Shakespeare never compute Friar Lawrence as a secondary character; it would have made a very different ending, theme along with the general story.
