The Role of Friar Lawrence and the Nurse in the Deaths of Romeo and Juliet

Romeo and Juliet is a story of two young person who were in love with

each other. They fall in love which is the only mistake that they did.

They would never know that their love would lead to tragedy. According

to my opinion there are three main aspects which effected Romeo’s and

Juliet’s life which are Friar Lawrence, the nurse, and fate.

There were brawls going on between families who are Montagues and

Capulets. Romeo was a Montague and Juliet was a Capulet. So they can’t

meet each other in the way that they wanted to. They could only meet

secretly. To communicate each other the nurse helped them by carrying

messages between them. Basically the nurse act like a messenger. Also

W.Sheakspear used him as a comic character so that she can relive the

tragedy and make the play move intense. She provides a contrast in

type of love which is physical, sexual and bawdy but love between

Romeo and Juliet is romantic.

Friar Lawrance who is a Catholic Priest is the other chatacter to

blame. He was acting as a peacemaker. He was trying to bring peace

between families. He was acting like a father to Romeo. One day

morning Romeo went up to the Friar and asked him to marry Romeo and

Juliet. Friar Lawrence said yes and hoped that it would bring peace

between families. But he was just hoping that it will all go positive.

He said ‘turn your households’ rancour to pure love.’ He was right but

only in someways. When he said ‘these violent delights have violent

ends.’ I can’t help myself to think about something bad is going to

happen.

Romeo and Juliet were going to meet again but Juliet was shocked after

she heard that her cousin Tybalt is dead. When she heard that he got

killed by Romeo, she was compeletly surprised. It didn’t take too much

for Juliet to get the other bad news. It was the prince of Verona
