Examples Of Friar Lawrence In Romeo And Juliet
MAN OF THE CLOTH KILLS TWO!
In William Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet, a holy man who is trusted by the main characters, fails to properly apply his priestly duties. Friar Lawrence is a loyal priest of Verona, and is largely responsible for the death of the young couple, Romeo and Juliet. The young couple in love (1, 5 ) listens to the advice of the older, wiser, respected Friar. If Friar Lawrence was so loyal, and never did anything wrong as a priest, then why did he marry two young teenagers, Romeo and Juliet, knowing that the Montagues and the Capulets didn’t get along at all (1, 1 85)? The deaths of Romeo and Juliet are largely to blame on Friar Lawrence.

After Romeo got kicked out of Verona, Juliet was upset and didn’t know what to do, so friar was keeping Romeo in the basement until Juliet came to see him. The priest told them the plan that Romeo had to go to a different town to live until he got the prince to let him back in Verona. Juliet was upset because Romeo was kicked out of Verona, but her father thought she was sad because of Tybalt’s death. So he arranged a marriage not knowing that she already married to Romeo. Juliet said she didn’t want to marry Paris. Her father got really angry and told her she will marry him or be kicked out of the house. “Go home, be careful, say you will marry him, sleep alone without the nurse, drink this vile of liquid that will put you in a death-like coma for 42 hours. Then, when you go in the family vault when the 42 hours are up, Romeo and I will be there to get you to Mancha with Romeo.” (2, 3 6) Friar is telling Juliet how to get out of marrying Paris. She wouldn’t have to do this if Friar Lawrence had just said no to this in the first place. Friar sends a letter to Romeo to tell him of the plan, but he doesn’t get the letter so he believes that Juliet is dead. Romeo then goes to an apothecary to get a poison that will kill him so he can be with Juliet. Poison has brought him to an immediate end. He killed himself to be with her, so she picked up his dagger and drove it though
