After Romeo and Juliet meet for the first time they are soon convinced that their love is true. Romeo seeks help from his old friend, the priest Friar Lawrence. Lawrence begrudgingly agrees to help the two in marrying-in secret of course- because he believes that the young couple’s love may pull the Capulet’s and the Montague’s out of their long-running feud. This action alone goes to show that despite his god intentions, Friar Lawrence is not only a bad role model and mentor for the two teenagers, he is irresponsible.…

    The evidence shows us that it was Romeo’s own decision to take poison and kill himself. Their own decisions are to blame for their deaths, and not the guidance of Friar Lawrence.
