Friar Lawrence may think that he is helping Romeo and Juliet more than anyone, but in reality he is irresponsible, and later, even mentally corrupt. To begin, when Romeo arrives at the Friar’s house to ask to marry to his newfound love, Juliet, the Friar realizes that Romeo doesn’t know love because it was only yesterday when he was in love with Rosaline. He lectures Romeo, saying, “But come, young waverer, come, go with me./ In one respect I’ll thy assistant be,” (2.3.96-7). The Friar understands that Romeo is impetuous, but he still decides to marry him to Juliet, which ultimately makes matters extremely worse. He thinks he is helping the families, but his irresponsible action ends up tearing the families apart, making him mentally corrupt. It is also the Friar’s responsibility to provide ethical solutions to people’s problems, but, instead, he encourages Juliet to fake her death. He guides Juliet, “Take thou vile, being then in bed/ And this distilling liquor drink thou off;/ When presently through all thy veins shall run/ A cold and drowsy humor; for no pulse” (4.1.95-8). The Friar knows that he can only get away with this…

Have you ever wanted to do a certain task but were never able to do it because every time you tried you were stopped by some form of wicked luck? Well for you this task may be star-crossed which means that it is thwarted by wicked luck and opposed by the stars. Just think what it would be like to have a romance like this. Star-crossed romances have always been a popular topic of writing. For example, Dreamless, Starcrossed, and Reckless Magic. Most of the time all star-crossed romances follow a different plot for each story this is what makes each story individually unique.
