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.

    First, the Friar Lawrence could've been paid by a Montague to poison Juliet so she would die. Also, the Friar's plan would've worked but he didn't make sure the note got to Romeo so he ended up killing himself due to the fact that Romeo was unaware of the Friar's plan. Finally, Juliet trusted the Friar and he said "Hold. Get you gone. Be strong and prosperous. In this resolve I'll send a Friar with speed to Mantua with my letters to thy lord."(Shakespeare.IV.I.5.). But, the Friar never got the letter through to Romeo due to the fact that the Friar he sent to give the letter to Romeo, was stopped at a Black Plague quarantine and he didn't give the letter to Romeo. Due to these facts Juliet is most to blame for both the deaths of herself and…
