Romeo and Juliet
THESIS STATEMENT:
I believe that Friar Lawrence is the most responsible for the death's of Romeo and Juliet. If Friar Lawrence didn't tell Juliet about making a plan of her faking her own death so that she will nd ot marry Count Paris. Maybe Romeo and Juliet would still be alive and could have ran away together to get married by Friar Lawrence instead of Juliet going along with Lawrence plan and actually dieing at the end. Also it is the Messenger's fault too because the messenger should of immediately told Romeo about the plan Friar Lawrence and Juliet agreed to make.In Romeo and Juliet, Romeo is exiled from Verona by the Prince for killing Tybalt. Capulet misinterpreting Juliet's grief , she agrees for her and Count Paris to marry but if Juliet refuses then she will be denied by her own mother. As Juliet visits Friar Lawrence for help she tells him the problems she is having so Lawrence tells her a plan to get rid of all her problems. Friar Lawrence offers her a drug that put her in a deathlike coma for two or forty hours

INTRO:

Who do you think was responsible for the deaths of Romeo and Juliet?

Juliet was grieving over Romeo being exiled out of Verona by the Prince for killing Tybalt but Capulet thought she had grief over marrying Count Paris, So Capulet agreed on the wedding and if Juliet refuses the marriage then she will be denied by her own mother. So Juliet visited Friar Lawrence and he offered her a drug that would send her into a deathlike coma and he would then send a messenger to inform Romeo about the plan but the messenger never showed to tell Romeo so now Romeo believe Juliet has actually died. So Friar Lawrence and the Messenger was responsible for the death of the two loved ones.

BODY 1:

    The first reason is why Friar Laurence is responsible for these two young people’s deaths is that he supplied Juliet with the sleeping potion. In the book it states this in Act 4 Scene 1 Page 4,’’ Take thou this vial, being then in bed, and this distilled liquor drink thou off, when presently through all thy veins shall run A cold and drowsy humor, for no pulse. Shall keep his native progress, but surcease. ‘’ The next reason is that Friar John was not able to deliver the letter to Romeo because he got stuck in a quarantined house due to the plaque. In the play in Act 5 Scene 2,’’ 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…

    Friar Lawrence might have been blamed for giving Juliet the potion but he only tried to make things better. The information given from the messenger to Romeo was never delivered, which then led to Romeo getting the poison and killing himself, and Juliet stabbing herself with Romeo’s dagger. The couple have an irrational behaviour, once Romeo discovered Juliet appearing dead at the Capulet’s tomb, he killed himself and Juliet was to blame for Romeo’s death and when Juliet killed herself, Romeo was to blame. After seeing each other dead the two lovers cannot live nor breathe without each other.…
