In the play of Romeo and Juliet there we many people to blame for their deaths: Romeo, Juliet, Tybalt, Friar John. The person who had the biggest influence on Romeo and Juliet was Friar Lawrence. Everyone trusted him especially Romeo. Friar Lawrence affected Romeo and his family in many ways. Friar Lawrence already knew about Rosaline but once he found out about Juliet he thought this could be the solution to their family feud. "In one respect i'll thy assistant be, for this alliance may so happy prove to turn your households' rancor to pure love." He wanted to marry them so that both families would stop fighting. He clearly doesn't believe that this is true love because before he saw Juliet, Romeo was in love with Rosaline. Instead
to Romeo and he acted irresponsibly by just sending only one. letter and not thinking that this letter will reach Mantua or not. In conclusion, I think the most responsible is Friar Lawrence because he made a risky plan which led to the deaths of the two lovers. The The second character that I think is the most to blame for the deaths of Romeo and Juliet is Romeo himself, because he was too quick to fall in. love, he was in love first with Rosaline then Juliet.
Have you ever thought about dying for someone else? One specific person is at fault for their deaths.
Romeo and Juliet died for they're love, they did everything they could to stay together as lovers. They're deaths wasn't planned it was all in the hands of one person. In my perspective Friar Laurence was the main blame for the death of the couple. I believe this because if Friar Laurence could have went to the families and told them that the feud between them would have to end. Everyone trusted Friar Laurence, if he would've asked them to stop there's a good chance Romeo and Juliet would still be alive.
In Romeo and Juliet, a tragedy by William Shakespeare, Friar Lawrence plays a dominate role in the eventual death of Romeo and Juliet even though he is not on stage for most of the play. There are basically three major parts that lead to the tragedy; the marriage, the plan, and the inevitable deaths in all which Friar Lawrence plays a vital role.Friar Lawrence plays an essential role in the marriage of young Romeo and Juliet. At Romeo’s request Friar Lawrence states, "In one respect I’ll thy assistant be; for this alliance may so happy prove, to turn your households to pure love" (Act 2 Scene 3.) Friar Lawrence believes that this holy marriage would bring the Capulet family and Montuague family closer together, for he anticipates that the families will stop hating each other and be peaceful. His attempts to make the marriage of Romeo and Juliet are admirable but poorly planned.
The people who start the story and also the one to end is the people to blame.
In conclusion I believe that Shakespeare wanted us to think about who to blame for the deaths of Romeo and Juliet. The evidence from the book shows that Friar Lawrence is the most reasonable to blame. If Friar Lawrence's letter would have reached Romeo, the two would have lived a longer life. Of course there are other people that could be blamed, but i do believe that is mainly Friars fault for letting the
“The Tragedy of Romeo and Juliet” written by William Shakespeare is surely to leave readers and watchers with a feeling of despair, but, it also leaves those with an inquisitive feeling. Who’s to blame for the death of these “star-crossed” lovers? Who’s to blame for the dismaying feeling given to audiences everywhere? The quote “These violent delights have violent ends” (2.6.9) answer those questions entirely. The character Friar Laurence is to blame for the deaths of Romeo and Juliet for 3 overlooked, yet important, reasons. Most would believe it was the families, or the unknown circumstances of being in love. Yet, in all honesty, Friar Laurence did marry the two, supplied Juliet with the potion to send her into sleep, and entrusted a messenger
Many debate and argue the place of blame Shakespeare shows for the untimely death of Romeo and Juliet, which some push towards fate, but truly falls on the characters’ shoulders. Forces originating from inside themselves and from other roles in the play result in the piteous death of the two seemingly “star-crossed lovers”. The betrayal of Juliet by the Nurse was a great turning point in the novel along with the half-baked plan Friar Lawrence stirred up. Together with the false love Romeo and Juliet seemed to reciprocate, the unfortunate demise of the snakebitten suitors was imminent with their poor decision making.
All of the troubles in “The Tragedy of Romeo and Juliet” have been caused by many people but one person in particular. The person who caused the most trouble in this play is Friar Lawrence. Friar Lawrence is the one to blame for all of these tragedies because he married Romeo and Juliet and he gave Juliet a potion that made Romeo believe that she was dead. If Friar Lawrence would have not of done these things many of the tragedies in this play would of not happened.
“Reason and love are sworn enemies” (Unknown). With love, young love in particular, people can do crazy things without thinking. Even with good intentions, the lack of thought can have serious consequences. In the play Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare the concept of love, loss, and hatred are explored with the lives and deaths of the ill-fated lovers, Romeo and Juliet. Coming from two continually brawling families, the Capulets and the Montagues, the young love is strictly forbidden. With the help of Friar Laurence and Juliet’s nurse, the couple marries. Soon after a series of rash and dramatic decisions leads to the preventable deaths of Romeo and Juliet. In this tragedy, Friar Laurence’s pridefulness and Romeo’s irrationality make them clearly the most to blame for the deaths of the star-crossed lovers of Verona.
In The Tragedy of Romeo and Juliet I believe the Friar Lawrence is at fault, there were many warning signs that he wasn't doing the right thing and he did what was in his best interest. Sometimes you don’t mean to mess things up, but you end up anyway. That's what ended up happening to the friar in my opinion. He found himself caught in a terrible situation that turned for the worse after some of his controversial decisions. Those decisions range from when he first agreed to marry the two young lovers to when he failed to inform the families after things started to get grotesque. Then his last and final tragic mistake was when he came up with an irrational plan to keep Romeo and Juliet together and keep Juliet from marrying Paris.
William Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet is an important play because of serious and severe mistakes that lead to the tragic deaths of the two star-crossed lovers. Once a mistake is made, the consequences of it pour forward almost immediately. Lord Capulet lacks the ability to empathize, which leads him to unknowingly make a mistake. The Nurse does not believe in intense and spiritual love and it is this belief that leads her to make the blunder of betraying Juliet. Friar Lawrence thinks he can help everyone but he lacks discernment and this ends up contributing to his numerous blunders throughout the play. Romeo and Juliet’s deaths are caused because of their own flaws, actions and hasty decisions, but equally due to the copious obstacles
"Romeo and Juliet," a famous love story about two star-crossed lovers who take their lives in order to be together. Their deaths are at the fault of one Friar Lawrence who, being an adult, a man of God and a trusted person in the community, betrayed that trust and attempted to cover up his wrong doings with a plan that ended in tragedy.
Love can be very righteous and beneficial if done moderately and adequately. When ones love life takes over his or her life in reality it can prove to be highly dangerous and injurious both mentally and physically. In the play Romeo and Juliet, William Shakespeare advises the importance of moderate love. Unfortunately though this tragic play ends in two devastating and dreadful deaths of both young lovers. However they are not totally to blame, the ones to blame for the death of these two lovers are Friar Lawrence, the nurse, and the Capulets themselves.
WHO IS THE BLAME? Good afternoon, my fellow audience. I am here today to persuade you on who I believe to be the character most responsible for the death of the two main characters in the play, Romeo and Juliet, a tragedy written by William Shakespeare. It is almost an ironic play because of its open and easily known ending, but yet its ending raises the controversial question, WHO IS TO BLAME FOR THE DEATH OF ROMEO AND JULIET? I believe every character in the book contributed to their deaths, even Romeo and Juliet themselves, but Friar Lawrence bears a monumental deal of the blame because he was the principle and most reliable adult that could have steered the ‘inexperienced’ couple, but his incompetency led Romeo and Juliet to a violent death.
