Romeo and Juliet text response
Romeo and Juliet text response, James Jones, 18/8/14.
Romeo and Juliet’s deaths are ultimately a fault of Friar Lawrence. He was heavily involved with both parties and their families, not only was he the head of the town’s church he was also Romeo’s spiritual guide. Friar Lawrence was the man who gave the potion of seaming death to Juliet, but when we look more into depth that was not his only fault, It was Friar Lawrence’s fault for the deaths of Romeo and Juliet as he had prematurely married the couple after just a day of meeting each other as well as not telling Romeo about the plan to fake Juliet’s death, on top of this if he had told both family’s about the marriage rather than keeping it a secret, he would not have been at fault of the death of five lives.
Friar Lawrence married the young couple after only a day of meeting each other with no consent from either of the teenagers’ parents, even though he had good intent to join the Capulet and the opposing Montague family’s to end the war between them, he went the wrong way about doing so. He may not only have been the cause for Romeo and Juliet’s deaths, but also that of Mercutio and Tybalt. Marrying a teenage couple after just one day of knowing each other is one thing but not only that, Romeo’s prior love for Rosaline had ended when he met Juliet, which to any sane man would show that he was obviously immature in relation to feeling and emotion. Juliet being only 13 years old was also immature and as well as only just starting puberty, such as having easily fallen in ‘love’ with Romeo after just met him, she has not yet experienced a lot of what the outside world has to offer as she is sheltered by her father lord Capulet, so when the outside world found its way into her life (Romeo) she immediately fell in love with it and him. Furthermore it was again Friar Lawrence’s fault for devising a plan in which Romeo had no knowledge of, in giving Juliet a portion of seaming death. Friar Lawrence devised
