Friar Lawrence To Blame In William Shakespeare's Romeo And Juliet

“Young men’s love lies not truly in their heart, but in their eye’s.”

Friar Lawrence said this just after Romeo told him about Juliet. Friar Lawrence is

explaining why Romeo is not truly in love with Juliet by basically telling him that he just

thinks she's pretty and that Romeo is not truly in love with her. Is just one reason

why these events are truly Romeo’s fault. Romeo is the most to blame for the events

that took place in William Shakespeare’s rendition of Romeo and Juliet.

Romeo fell in love with Juliet way too fast. Romeo saw Juliet at this party and he

went up and talked to her for a minute. after he hit on her, they kissed, and then Juliet

persuaded him to kiss her again. Romeo walked into Lord
Capulet’s party, him and

Benvolio were walking around and Romeo spotted Juliet and he walked over to her.

Romeo started flirting then Juliet started talking back and Romeo said he wanted to kiss

her and she let him. Then Juliet told the young Montague the sin was on her lips and

Romeo kissed her again. After that Romeo snuck into Juliet’s garden and started talking

to here and she responded, then after just a few minutes of talking Juliet made Romeo

purpose to her and he said he would have his answer by tomorrow and he said yes. So

they were married secretly. As Juliet's husband snuck into the Capulet's garden he

started yelling for Juliet but, Juliet could not see him, so she called for him and he came

out and spoke to her about their love. Juliet made him purpose to her or they could not

be together. Romeo answered yes and they got married in secrecy.

Romeo had already let all of these events happen and after all of it, he still was

untruthful about his marriage to Juliet. Romeo killed Tybalt, but before he did, he didn't

try to explain that he was married to Juliet or that they were cousins. Romeo also didn't

try to explain himself to prince before being banished or after the punishment was

already set. As Mercutio and Tybalt were fighting Romeo grid to jump in and stop the

fight but as Tybalt tried to stab Romeo he missed and stabbed Mercutio, and as

Mercutio died Romeo became enraged at Tybalt. Later that evening Tybalt came back

to kill Romeo, but Romeo was so mad he didn't try to explain why Tybalt shouldn't try

and kill him and Romeo stabbed him. Also Romeo had another chance to explain later

in the book, he could've told prince why not to banish him but instead took his

punishment and didn't say a peep.

Some people believe that Juliet is the one responsible for the events because

she suggested marriage between her and Romeo; however, Romeo is still guilty

because he reacted too fast to Juliet when she appeared dead but was actually alive.

Romeo heard of Juliet's untimely death and ran into the city and convinced this

malnourished apothecary to sell him some very strong poison, then he went to Juliet’s

tomb and killed himself next to her stone slab.
And before doing this he threatened to kill

Balthasar, his servant, by ripping apart his limbs and spreading them across the

churchyard. The young Montague was in the city of Mantua when Balthasar told him

about Juliet and that she was “dead.” Hearing this Romeo started searching the city for

an apothecary to sell him poison, he had found a small and starving one and asked him

for the poison but the apothecary would not sell. Romeo then convinced him to sell the

poison by insulting him and then Juliet’s lover went down to her grave and drank the

poison by her surprisingly non-pale blushing cheeks and died.

Which character is the most to blame for the events that took place in Romeo

and Juliet? Romeo is the most to blame because he fell in love with Juliet to fast, he

saw her in this crowded party. He then walked over to her, they talked for a minute and

Romeo kissed Juliet twice. Needless to say Romeo is way too emotional and unstable

to marry a young woman. All in all Romeo could've avoided all of this if he could have

kept his emotions in
check.
