The Saboteurs of Romeo and Juliet
Throughout the play, the nurse acted as a sort of accomplice to Romeo and Juliet. She aided in their marriage, and helped disguise it as well. There is one event in the play that mirrors the nurse in a way. This takes place after Friar Lawrence devises the plan to get Juliet out of Verona and to Romeo. What he does, is send a letter to Romeo, however the friar that sent it got stuck in a separate situation. This mirrors the nurse because while it is not the largest factor in the story or the most important thing going on, it is still a large part of the story and how event unfold. This is incredibly similar to how the nurse is not a factor in the play like Romeo or Juliet, but is still a very important …show more content…
Romeo is a Montague, while Juliet is a Capulet. These two wealthy families have a large feud, making Romeo and Juliet’s love forbidden. This makes them keep their love a secret. After Romeo gets banished for killing a man, Juliet and a friar arrange a plan so Romeo can save Juliet from a marriage that her father arranged for her. However this plan goes horribly wrong resulting in the deaths of both the star-crossed lovers. In this story, there are three individuals most responsible for the deaths of Romeo and Juliet. These three characters are Lord Capulet, Juliet’s father, the nurse, and Friar Lawrence.
Lord Capulet played a large part in the tragic deaths of Romeo and his daughter Juliet. To begin with, Lord Capulet allows Juliet to marry who she wants, this causes her to have a choice in not marrying Paris, which eventually leads to her and Romeo’s deaths.

In this quote, he explains why he agrees to marry them. He has the intention of settling the two families feuds by having Romeo and Juliet married. However while this could have happened, there is a far greater chance that the situation will not play out in their favor, which transfers over to the next point. Friar Lawrence doesn’t speak up or try to get the families to cooperate before it’s too late. He admits to the two families at the graveyard, “I married them, and their stol’n marriage day Was Tybalt’s doomsday”(5.3.233-234). While Friar Lawrence does eventually tell the families here, it is only after the deaths of three people. There is a chance that if he had spoken up earlier, they would not have died, and the feud could have dissipated without all of the blood. And there is another point in the friar being responsible. Friar Lawrence was responsible for the tragedy because of his strategy in sending the letter to Romeo.“Shall Romeo by my letters know our drift, And hither shall he come, and he and I Will watch thy waking, and that very night Shall
