Despite his pure intentions, Friar Laurence’s decisions caused the extreme fallout of the situation. Instances such as his potion plan, officiating the wedding, and leaving Juliet alone at the vault all fall as evidence supporting Friar Laurence’s fault in the tragedy. To begin, Friar Laurence is unable to formulate and oversee quality plans. He cannot create a plan that is feasible.…

    If all of the characters in Romeo and Juliet were real, there are a few of them that I would like to be friends with. However, most of the characters I would detest with a passion, as they are complete imbeciles. One of the characters that I would like to become friends with is the friar. The friar is very wise and knows a lot. He seems to always have good advice, and he actually has a little bit of common sense.…

    In Conclusion, I think that Romeo is a young, inexperienced and impatient but loyal and brave boy. I think that his naivety plays a huge rule in this because love was taken as an extravagant feeling to have when it was not truly happy as the lovers can experience heartbreak and many other obstacles. It seems as if Romeo only more cautious and deliberate, his devastating ending could have been prevented (even though we have not finished the book yet). Amongst friends especially Mercutio, Romeo shows signs of his social and quick witted persona, even with his fond of verbal jousting that is mainly about sex. Lastly, Romeo is like every other male in the world who only unveils their true self to the people who they trust or who understand them.…

    When people have poor communication, it causes unfortunate consequences. This statement is not only relevant to The Tragedy of Romeo and Juliet, but also to modern-day situations. In the play, Friar John says to Friar Lawrence that he will send the letter to Romeo, in Mantua, so he will get the news about Juliet faking her death. Unfortunately, he never got the letter due to the possible plague. In Act V Scene 2, Friar John says: “I could not send it- here it is again- / (gives Friar Lawrence a letter) / Nor get a messenger to bring it thee, / So fearful were they of infection.”…
