help two young lovers betray their families. This is the trial and tribulation that Friar Laurence went through after realizing his plan of getting the young Montague and Capulet together resulted in their deaths.

My first piece of evidence to prove Friar Laurence guilty is a diary entry he wrote a couple days after the deaths of Romeo…

Shakespeare. The main theme of Romeo and Juliet is love. Romeo and Juliet is considered the most famous love story of all time. The secondary character I have chosen is Friar Lawrence. His character played a significant part in the outcome of the play. There were three major parts that lead to the death of Romeo and Juliet and Friar Lawrence had a hand in all three. The first is the marriage between Romeo and Juliet; next is the faulty planning of the fake death of Juliet; and the last…

In the play Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare, two young teenagers fall in love with each other despite their family fued.

Thankfully Romeo and Juliet had two mentors around willing to help them through it all, when their parents wouldn’t. Throughout Romeo and Juliet the Nurse and Friar Lawrence make…

Friar Lawrence is to blame for the tragic ends of Romeo and Juliet because he was aware of the risks involved with Romeo and Juliet’s union, yet he continues with the marriage.

Romeo and Juliet, Friar Lawrence’s role as a member of the Order of St. Francis, he is presented as a holy man who is trusted and respected by the other characters.

Today I am going to prove to you that Friar Lawrence is the one…

have played their own little blame game inside their head. Personally, I blame Friar Lawrence. By neglecting to make the best decisions possible, Friar Lawrence condemns 6 people to their deaths. First, Friar Lawrence marries Romeo and Juliet without their parent’s permission. In Act II, scene iii, Romeo tells Friar Lawrence about his new love, Juliet. After some discussion about how this was a bad thing, Friar Lawrence agrees to marry Juliet to Romeo, saying, “For this alliance may so happy…

however in Romeo and Juliet by Willam Shakespeare Friar Lawrence proved this to be a bad idea. In this play there are many people to blame for everything that happens, but Friar Lawrence is most to blame because he married Romeo and Juliet, he had bad plans, and because he withheld information from Romeo and Juliet’s parents.

that can be prevented. Especially Juliet’s death, where she kills herself. Although she did kill herself, she is not responsible for her death. I believe that Friar Lawrence is responsible for her death. Throughout the story, he makes many dumb and impulsive choices which results in the loss of Juliet. EXPAND ON FINAL First of all the Friar should have tried to end the family feud between the Montagues and Capulets a different way. He decided that marrying Romeo and Juliet was the best way to…

Juliet stabs herself seeing Romeo dead but they are not to blame for their deaths. Both the Nurse and Friar Lawrence had a part in the tragedy, but the Nurse is the one that should be punished. It is unfortunate to punish Juliet’s other mother figure for her death, but her advice to Juliet definitely affected the circumstances on how she died. In Act 2, the Nurse tells Juliet, “Then hie you hece to Friar Lawrence’s cell. Their stays a husband to make you a wife” (2.3 67-68).…
