Thursday morning: Verona Court: Enter Prince Escales, Friar Lawrence,
Old Capulet, Lady Capulet, Nurse, Old Montague and Lady Montague
Narrator: The scene was set with Friar Lawrence before a tribunal
chaired by the Prince to explain his part in the Tragedy. The Prince
waited in his seat for Friar Lawrence to arrive. Friar Lawrence
arrived and was told to take his seat. Friar Lawrence was a
respectable man of the Church and his role in this play was parallel
to the Role of the Nurse. He was respected by many people, mostly by
Romeo and was very fond of him. He was quick to notice the passionate
love between Romeo and Juliet. His intensions were to bring the two
families together so he married Romeo and Juliet. He then had to
change his plan because of the Prince’s judgement of Romeo. The second
plan did not go to plan as it was as unsteady as the first. When
Juliet came to him for assistance in Act 4, Scene 1, he came up with a
third plan which was even worse than his first two. Friar Lawrence may
have been thinking as much about his own skin as that of Juliet.
Certainly the thought crossed Juliet’s mind, as she prepared to take
the potion, wondering if he had poisoned her or not. The plan went
wrong when the message to Romeo was undelivered. He hurried to the
place where Juliet was for the awaking of Juliet. He tried to persuade
Juliet but not to a great extent to leave dead Romeo but she did not
listen so he deserted her. Eventually he revealed the truth. We
expected the Prince to set him an awful punishment, but the Prince
excused him, as he was a holy man. The Friar’s real punishment was to
live with the consequences of his o...

together and he had it all planned but things did not go his way.
Romeo did not receive the letter, this was not Friar Lawrence’s fault
because he tried to get it to reach to him but in the end it was
because of fate that the letter did not reach Romeo in time, so do you
say that Friar Lawrence is he to be blamed for this incident? In my
view I do not blame the Friar for this at an extent, I would rather it
to be blamed to fate, as I feel that fate played the biggest part in
the tragedy. Friar Lawrence you will continue with your duty as
normal, I just advise you to think about your actions in the future.
And I tell you all present today that this is a love story to remember
it and learn from. Don’t let hate come in between love, because if you
do, things go wrong like it has for Romeo and Juliet.’
Did you know that Romeo and Juliet was one of the biggest love story of all time. Romeo and Juliet is a story of two star-crossed lovers from two families the Capulets and the Montagues. The Capulets and the Montague had a big fight that made the families very angry at each other. Romeo and Juliet decide to get married. The two couple marry and run away. In the process both of them will die. When it comes to Romeo and Juliet who are the top three people that caused the two to die. The two people that are chosen are Friar Lawrence and Lady Capulet. Friar was chosen because he is the one that married Romeo and Juliet. Lady Capulet was chosen because she is forcing Juliet to marry Paris which is making Juliet want Romeo even more. The third thing
love with Juliet. He is also kind enough to Romeo to agree to help him
Choices determine every outcome, A better way to put it is “What we do in life, echoes in eternity”, essentially every single decision one makes , no matter how minuscule, will always have an impact in one’s life. Fate isn’t real; Fate is a term commonly used by those that refuse to accept that they control their own future. Teenagers ever since the beginning of time were and still are expected to make poor choices due to their age. But once they learn to take responsibility for their actions they become adults. Both Romeo and Juliet make multiple decisions such as marrying, killing and suicide without stepping back and thinking about the consequences. In the play Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare all the choices made by the star crossed lovers have consequences. The two lovers blame fate for their misfortune. They refuse to believe that fate does not determine the end result, only they can do that.

He also tells Juliet that "Shall Romeo by my letters know our drift, and hither shall hem come; and he and I shall watch thy waking, and that very night shall Romeo bear thee to Mantua" (Act 4, Scene 1.) Unforeseen to neither the Friar nor Juliet that an error such as the one of Friar John’s would prove to be deadly. Poor Romeo was not able to receive the letter. Friar Lawrence plays a significant role in the plan for Juliet to "sleep."Friar Lawrence plays an important rule in the actual deaths of Romeo, Juliet, And Paris. Friar Lawrence is unable to reach Romeo with the news of Juliet’s "death." Romeo, thinking Juliet is dead rushes to Verona, but not before buying some fast poison.

Many people think that society has changed so much over the years. That the way that children act, has taken a turn for the worst, but in reality children are learning from their ancestors. Children are lying to their parents, they are sneaking out at night to be with a boy that is “the one”, children are going back into the age of Shakespeare. In the play “Romeo and Juliet” which was written by William Shakespeare in 1597, there are two teenagers, Romeo and Juliet, who fall in love with each other. These two teenagers try to do everything that they can to live the rest of their lives together, except their families despise each other, so there is no way that they can live the rest of their lives together. So, many people believe that the way that our children are growing up today is taking away the fun parts of their childhood. However in this play Juliet did many of the things that teenagers are trying to do now. Children and sometimes adults now need to realize how your actions not only affect you but also the people around you, you also need to think about the consequences of the actions you make. At first Juliet falls in love at first sight with Romeo, then she takes a potion, which causes her family to think she is dead, and then how Friar Lawrence helps Juliet with the scheming, which shows how adults have to think about others as well.
There was action and there was tragedy, but put it all together to make the perfect comedy and a perfect tragic story. William Shakespeare wrote the play Romeo and Juliet, said to be the finest written play in history, for its originality and it's many plots. This story will take you through a lot of mixed emotion and will show you what a true feud is. This story is laid out perfectly because of its true holding and both family's passion for their children. William Shakespeare wrote the story to show how Romeo and Juliet's love for each other will show their youth and immaturity. Their over reacting cost them their life. At such a young age they thought they could never love another being again, and so, " A pair of star-crossed lovers take their life."(Act one scene one)
The Friar designs this whole arrangement, which will take absolute flawlessness and participation on everybody's part to work. The Friar needs to ensure that Romeo is educated of the arrangement. Be that as it may, the Friar puts an excess of trust in Friar John, who therefore neglects to convey the letter to Romeo. It is Friar Lawrence's' deficiency that Romeo is not educated and winds up confounded about the late happenings including Juliet. The Friar had vital part in this impact of Romeo and Juliet. Because of his thoughtless activities, Romeo and Juliet could have been living joyfully ever after some place in
the death of Juliet and was ordered to go and find Romeo in Mantua to

Romeo’s numerous rash decisions demonstrates his great impulsiveness. Romeo at first grieves over his unreciprocated love for Rosaline, but after he sees Juliet; he forgets about Rosaline entirely. His hastiness leads him to make decisions that are not intelligent or to his benefit. Shortly after meeting Juliet, he asks her to “exchange [her] faithful vow” for his ( 2.2.132). Romeo’s recklessness is evident that he does not think before he makes important decisions; prompting him to propose to Juliet just hours after their first meeting. Yet the morning before, Romeo was suffering from depression because he could never have his Rosaline. After what seems like a lifetime of loving Rosaline and promising to never love anyone but her, Romeo sees Juliet and instantaneously all his thoughts of Rosaline vanish. Romeo becomes infatuated with Juliet, with whom he exchanges less then fifty words before “falling in love.” The next morning he begs Friar L...
