    The day after Romeo and Juliet meet, Romeo goes to Friar Laurence about his desire to marry Juliet. Friar Laurence is suspicious of the relationship between the two young lovers. Friar tells Romeo that “[young men’s] love […] lies not truly in their hearts, but in their eyes” (II.III.68-69). Romeo objects that he does indeed love Juliet and tells Friar that he should be grateful Romeo has buried his love for Rosaline. Foreshadowing occurs when Friar retorts that Romeo “[did not put his love] in a grave, [but made room] to lay [another] in” (II.III.85-86). Obviously, Friar realizes that the fate of the lovers will not be virtuous; however, he goes along to perform the marriage. Shortly after the marriage, Romeo is guilty for killing Tybalt and is banished from Verona. When Juliet’s parents wish for her to marry Paris Friar offers an alternative. Friar suggests to Juliet that if she would “[…] hast the strength of will to kill herself […] (IV.I.73) then she would not have to marry Paris and gives Juliet unknown drugs to make her appear to be dead. Friar has a responsibility to send Friar John to warn Romeo of Juliet’s false death; once again, another let down by Friar Lawrence. Romeo’s man, Balthasar, arrives to Romeo first. Balthasar tells Romeo that “[…] [Juliet’s] body sleeps in Capels’ monument” (V.1.18); creating dramatic irony. The miscommunication on Friar Lawrence’s behalf then contributes to Romeo finding Juliet unconscientious in a tomb; resulting in Romeo’s suicide. Shortly after Juliet awakes she finds that Romeo is dead; naturally, Friar Lawrence…

    Romeo snuck onto the Capulet’s property to visit Juliet, this was an issue because Romeo being a Montague would have been killed on sight if seen by a Capulet other than Juliet. Romeo was unconcerned by that fact, but Juliet realized the risk he was taking in visiting her, and warned him,“If they do see thee, they will murder thee.” (2.2.70). Friar Lawrence was an accomplice in Romeo and Juliet’s union, and although he warned Romeo by saying, “Wisely and slow. They stumble that run fast.” (2.4.90) he ignored his own advice and married them hastily anyway. Friar Lawrence aided Juliet in her doom by creating a faulty plan that was supposed to save her and Romeo, but only if everything went according to plan, things did not work out correctly and Romeo and Juliet both ended up dying.

    According to Duff Brenna, “All literature shows us the power of emotion. It is emotion, not reason, which motivates characters in literature.” This is demonstrated in The Tragedy of Romeo and Juliet and Of Mice and Men. Human beings are often driven by their emotions or passions. Sometimes their actions defy sound reason or judgment. However, due to the emotions that the individuals might be experiencing at that time, their initial response is usually impulsive. I agree Duff Brenna in her assessment of how characters in literature are motivated by their raging emotions and not by reason, common sense or wisdom. One cannot merely act upon how they feel, especially if those emotions are negatives. Negatives emotions, if acted upon, will lead to negative actions; whereas positive emotions will leads to positive actions.…
