    With Paris being told by Juliet’s father he could marry her, this made Juliet even more upset, prompting the plan to escape her family. Paris often played a part in the role of why Juliet wanted to get married to Romeo, as she couldn’t see herself being married to Paris, and she didn’t like the thought of an arranged marriage. This, as well as Romeo being banished was what ultimately made Juliet upset and wishing to leave her family, and caused so many issues with trying to find a way to do so. As Juliet goes to Friar Laurence, he suggests that she should fake her death, knowing that she will be buried in a tomb and It would be easy for her to escape.

    If Lord Capulet did not place this momentous burden on Juliet, then she may have not tried to fake her death that ultimately ended in her as well as Romeo’s demise. Even though Lord Capulet could be responsible for the death of the lovers, Friar Laurence is predominantly the one to blame due to his lack of judgment throughout the play. Despite Friar Laurence’s good intentions when agreeing to marry Romeo and Juliet, thinking that it would end the feud, he neglected to foresee the potential negative outcomes. Upon his agreement to marry Romeo and Juliet, he hastily advises, “Come, come with me, and we will make short work; For, by your leaves, you shall not stay alone Till holy church incorporate two in one”(II.vi.35-37). Friar Laurence already knew that tensions were high between the Montagues and Capulets, and by doing this he endangered the well-being of both Romeo and Juliet if anyone ever found out.…
