Why Is Friar Lawrence At Fault
The tale of two love birds falling from the air, of which they flew, to their deaths. One poison, the other a stabbed. Who’s at fault, we ask. Why Frair Lawrence of course. There could be no one else. He’s the one who, married them, against their family’s permission. He’s the one who, didn’t tell Romeo about the sleeping serum. He’s the one who, should have stopped her from the idea of, let me fake my death. He’s the one. Your use of commas is incorrect here, read this aloud pausing where you placed commas as see if it sounds right to you.

One immense reason, Frair Lawrence should also be at fault, for marrying them behind their parent’s back. Just about everyone knows that the Capulets and Montagues did not get along. But Frair Lawrence, a Priest at the time, was very close to Romeo and he could tell that Romeo was in love. Because of his knowing of him being in

Let me elaborate by saying, that after they got married, Romeo was banished from the city of Verona, for slaughtering Juliet’s cousin Tybolt, after he had thrashed Mercutio. Now, while this ignominy was going on, Juliet was being married off to a young man named Paris. She did not want to marry Paris because she had no real feelings for him, so she thought of a way to get out of the marriage. Her and Frair Lawrence thought up a plan to where she could fake her death, on the day and she would be fine. This happened, and news had spread to Romeo, and he had gone on a pursuit into Verona, and into the church where her sleeping body laid. In the middle of all of the chase between the police and Romeo, he had acquired a poison. He drank he poison over her and laid next to her, and died. She had awoken seconds after and assassinated herself. If Frair Lawrence had informed Romeo of the plan that she was not dead, then he would’ve not drank the poison, and she would have not killed

    In William Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet, a holy man who is trusted by the main characters, fails to properly apply his priestly duties. Friar Lawrence is a loyal priest of Verona, and is largely responsible for the death of the young couple, Romeo and Juliet. The young couple in love (1, 5 ) listens to the advice of the older, wiser, respected Friar. If Friar Lawrence was so loyal, and never did anything wrong as a priest, then why did he marry two young teenagers, Romeo and Juliet, knowing that the Montagues and the Capulets didn’t get along at all (1, 1 85)? The deaths of Romeo and Juliet are largely to blame on Friar Lawrence.…

    Lessons of Young LoveFriar Lawrence is guilty for the deaths of Romeo and Juliet because he is irresponsible, cowardly and thoughtless. First of all, Friar Laurence agrees to marry Romeo and Juliet. “For By your leave, you shall not stay alone till holy church incorporate two in one” (6.6 .36 - 37). This proves Friar Lawrence is guilty of marrying them and this leads to their deaths. This proves Friar Lawrence is guilty of marrying Them which leaves them to their deaths, in the end, it is irresponsible of the friar to agree to marry them because Romeo and Juliet have only known each other for a few days.

    And here I stand, both to impeach and purge myself condemnèd and myself excused" (5. 3. 223-227). In this quote, Friar Laurence is stating that he's the main suspect. He is the main suspect because he was found there by the watchman standing by Juliet and Romeo's bodies. Before the death of Romeo and Juliet, he kind of foreshadows their death by saying; "Hold daughter. I do spy a kind of hope, which craves as desperate an execution as that is desperate which we would prevent. 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, that copest with death himself to 'scape from it. And, if thou dearest, I'll give thee remedy" (4. 1. 68-76). The foreshadow in this quote, is that he says if she doesn't want to marry Paris, then she should slay herself and at the end of the play, when she sees Romeo, she kills herself. She didn't want to marry Paris so she took the Friar's remedy, the remedy worked, but not in the way they hoped it…

    Who is to blame for the tragedy that occurs in Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare? There are many things that lead up to the character’s untimely deaths in this sad story, but there is one character who truly made this story as devastating as it was. Friar Lawrence makes the wrong decisions by advising Romeo and Juliet to be married in secret, giving Juliet poison, and allowing Romeo to believe Juliet was dead. There is no doubt that Friar Lawrence’s multiple wrong decisions are to blame for the heartbreaking events that take place in Romeo and Juliet.…

    Although he is not the only one to blame for this tragedy. Romeo could be blamed for the tragedy for a lot of reasons. One reason he is the one to blame is he drinks the potion almost rite as Juliet wakes up. Romeo could have went to Friar Lawrence and ask what happened before he took his own life when he could have lived a happy life with Juliet. Also Romeo Mary's Juliet rite after they meet each other pretty much. Romeo could have took it slower and get to know her better. If they would not have gotten married so fast they might still be alive. Romeo and Juliet didn't have to kill themselves. That was their choice which It is unreasonable to throw the blame on another person or an issue that made them commit suicide. If they had thought about their decisions thoroughly, they would end up living a happy life together. Also Romeo knew that she was from the family that he hates. It is kind of ironic how Romeo falls in love with people he can't marry because it just makes the feud between the family's worse. “In faith, I will. Let me peruse this face. Mercutio's kinsman, noble County Paris!...” (Shakespeare 85-92)This is the quote Romeo says before he dies. Romeo did not have to kill Paris he could have talked it out instead of immediately fighting which just made things worse in the end because that's one more death on there hands. That's why I think that the tragedy was not just Friar Lawrence's fault but both Romeo and Friar…

    Friar had only attempted to send a letter and was not sure of Romeo receiving it. When Friar John tells Friar Lawrence that the letter was not sent Friar Lawrence says, "Unhappy fortune! by my brotherhood,/ The letter was not nice but full of charge/ Of dear import, and the neglecting it/ May do much danger. Friar John, go hence;/ Get me an iron crow, and bring it straight/ Unto my cell." This quote proves that Friar Lawrence had known the danger of the plan. I believe Friar could've and should've planned a better plan and had told Romeo himself.…
