Friar Lawrence is a very important character in ‘Romeo and Juliet’ because he is the sole figure of religion in the play‚ allowing us to infer a lot about the role religion played in daily life and Shakespeare’s views on it.

Gone Wrong By: Celeste Smith If anybody is to blame for the deaths of Romeo and Juliet‚ it would be the families. If it weren’t for the rivalry between the Capulets and Montagues‚ Romeo and Juliet wouldn’t have had to be married in secret; Tybalt wouldn’t have felt the need to fight Romeo (who turned it down because his wife‚ Juliet‚ was kin to Tybalt which caused Mercutio to jump in and be killed)‚ and Juliet wouldn’t have gone to Friar Lawrence in search of a solution to not having to be married
