Friar Lawrence is to be blamed is because he started the downfall of Romeo and Juliet’s lives by marrying them. First of all, knowing that the Capulets and Montagues are vicious towards each other, he never spoke to Romeo and Juliet about the consequences of them marrying each other. He never even thought that Romeo and Juliet’s marriage was the right thing! In Act II - Scene III, Friar Lawrence says to Romeo; “In one respect I’ll thy assistant be, for this alliance may so happy prove to turn your household’s anchor into pure love”. He said this to Romeo probably because he wanted to end the fued between the Montagues and the Capulets instead of bringing together Romeo and Juliet. Besides that, he never even told Romeo about Juliet’s plan the minute it was planned. He could’ve just walked to Mantua from Verona instead of writing and sending a letter to him. Even though a letter would talk a shorter amount…
