    Romeo and Juliet are husband and wife. I married them in secret, and that same day was Tybalt killed and Romeo banished. Juliet pined for her bridegroom and not for Tybalt. You (Capulet) while trying to make her happier promised her to Paris and would have ordered her to marry him. Then she came to me asking that I devise a plan to prevent her second marriage, or she would have killed herself right there in my cell. So I gave her a sleeping potion, which was intended to make her appear dead. Meanwhile, I wrote a letter to Romeo telling him to come here to take Juliet from her borrowed grave when the potion wore off. But Friar John, who was sent to deliver the message, was detained and brought the letter back to me. So I came alone at the time when Juliet was to wake up to take her from the vault and hide her in my cell until I could send another message to Romeo. When I got here, just a few minutes before Juliet should awaken, I found both Paris and Romeo dead. Juliet woke up, and I tried to get her to leave. I heard some noise and was scared away, but Juliet would not come with me. It seems that she stabbed herself. This is the whole story, and Juliet's Nurse also knew of the marriage. If this is all my fault let me be sacrificed to the full extent of the…

    Rather he kept on endeavoring to keep Romeo and Juliet together. The arrangement he prepared for this, be that as it may, was childish, half-baked, and unsafe. Monk Laurence formulated the arrangement in flurry and in franticness on the grounds that Juliet was there in the minister's nearness undermining suicide as opposed to wed Paris. "Unless thou disclose to me how I may anticipate it. /If, in thy shrewdness thou canst give no help,/Do however call my determination savvy,/And with this blade I'll help it by and by" (4.1.51-54). To conciliate Juliet, Friar Laurence gave her an elixir to expend that would empower her to pretend passing, along these lines turning away marriage to Paris. He, in the interim would send a note to Romeo educating him of the deception that was being executed on the Capulets and Paris, and requesting that Romeo meet him at the cemetery where Juliet would welcome them fit as a fiddle. Sadly, the message never arrived. This was uncovered when Friar John told Friar Laurence, " I couldn't send it, here it is again/Nor get an errand person to bring it thee" (5.2.14-15). Monk Laurence clearly had not told the delivery person the significance of the letter achieving Romeo. What's more, if Friar Laurence had taken after the first assention he made with Romeo: "Visit in Mantua; I'll discover your man,/Every great hap…

    Mercutio, a friend of Romeo, dissents his request and challenges him instead. This altercation led to the death of Mercutio, which led to Romeo’s desire for vengeance. Tybalt reaches his demise as Romeo stabs him with his sword. Romeo flees to Friar Laurence’s cell and receives the news that he is exorcised from Verona. Tybalt’s death causes Lord Capulet to move Paris and Juliet’s wedding on Thursday. Helpless, Juliet consults Friar Laurence for advice about postponing the wedding. Friar Laurence fabricates a plan to get Juliet away from Paris. “If, rather than to marry County Paris,/ Thou hast the strength of will to slay thyself/ Then is it likely thou wilt undertake/ A thing like death to chide away this shame…” (IV.i.71-74) This is another mistake because he should have thought of an easier solution: one that doesn't require Juliet to fake her death, as it is a spurious plan. After informing Juliet with the plan, he proceeds by giving her a potion to mimic the effects of death. “Take thou this vial, being then in bed,/ And this distilling liquor drink thou off…” (IV.i.93-94) He also says he will get another friar to deliver the information about the plan, in the form of a letter, to Romeo. “I’ll send a friar with speed/To Mantua with my letters to thy lord.” (IV.i.123-124) Friar Laurence’s omission to deliver the letter himself was another…
