Romeo And Juliet is a story by Shakespeare originally published in 1597, it is a story about two lovers whose deaths end a family feud. The deaths of both of the teens are caused by not only the family feud but mostly the poor decisions of Friar Laurence in the story.

This is the Friars first mistake because he should have just told Romeo no, because he didn’t they got married which is the main reason why they died. The Friar later says “May the heavens be happy with this holy act of marriage, so nothing unfortunate happens later to make us regret it.(A.2 S6)” In other words the Friar is hoping that nothing wrong will happen to him because he marries the two, if someone found out that he was the one that married the two he would lose respect of the people of verona. In act 4 Juliet comes to the friar for help (just like Romeo) because she is to be married to Paris in two days but she is already married to Romeo. Juliet explains that she is going to kill herself so she doesn’t break the vows of her marriage but the Friar comes up with a different plan. The Friar’s plan is to “ When you’re in bed, take this vial and drink. Then a cold, sleep-inducing drug will stop your pulse. Your flesh will be cold, and you’ll stop breathing.
