    In the play Romeo and Juliet, Friar Laurence was the one to blame for the deaths of Romeo and Juliet. First, Friar Laurence didn't deliver the letter to Romero in time. In Act Five, Scene Two Friar Laurence stated "Who bare my letter, then, to Romero".

    How could it possibly be Friar Lawrence’s fault? I mean, he did give Romeo poison to kill himself since Romeo thought that Juliet was “dead” and he does want to be dead next to Juliet’s “corpse”. Oh, the things we do for love... And to add to all of that, Friar also gave Juliet a veil to take to sleep for 24 hours, she was willing to do that because she wanted to be with Romeo forever. But since he killed…

    I believe that Friar Laurence is to blame for the deaths of Romeo and Juliet. Friar Laurence was the one that gave Juliet the potion that made her appear dead, therefore misleading Romeo and causing him to kill himself. Friar Laurence says “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; no pulse, no warmth, no breath.” When Friar Laurence was figuring out this plan he could had come up with something safer or a backup plan just in case something went wrong. He also should had thought of the pros and cons of this plan before he went through with it because he was faced with a huge problem when the plan could not get through to Romeo and…

    Tragedies happen all the time in the world, books, and even plays. But these bad things always happen to everyone; there is no such thing as a perfect life. In the magnificent play Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare, the tragic death of these two star-crossed lovers, Romeo and Juliet, takes place at the end of the play. Although there are many people to blame for their deaths, one person can for sure be blamed for this. Friar Lawrence is the character most responsible for the two star-crossed lovers deaths at the end of the play. For one thing, he never made sure that the letter got sent to Romeo, and that he kept their marriage a secret to the two families.…

    Who is really to blame for the deaths of Romeo and Juliet? In "Romeo and Juliet" by William Shakespeare the main characters, Romeo and Juliet fall victim to an untimely death. Friar Lawrence is someone that Romeo trusts very much so therefore his love, Juliet trusts him just as much. So they take all of his advice as the best option for them to be able to marry and be together for the rest of their lives. But he doesn't always give the best advice or complete his tasks. Therefore Friar Lawrence should be punished for the deaths of Romeo and Juliet because he takes advantage of their trust and fails on his own tasks that could influence the couples lives.…

    The Friar is to blame for all of the drama and deaths that went on in Romeo and Juliet. If the Friar wouldn't have married Romeo and Juliet then none of the drama would have began. The Friar shouldn't have given the potion to Juliet, and he shouldn't have lied to the Capulets about why Juliet wouldn't marry Paris. The Friar also shouldn't have gone along with new plans without informing Romeo on what his part was first.…

    In Romeo and Juliet, the Friar was to blame for many reasons. Juliet came to the Friar because she was forced to marry Paris and she wanted to marry Romeo. The friar gave her a potion which would act like she was dead but she would wake up in 42 hours. “ Take 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” (SS 453). Romeo was unaware that Juliet took this potion she was then…

    To explain this further, Romeo was banished due to killing Tybalt. Since Juliet did not want to marry Paris, she and Friar had the idea of getting a potion that would pretend to kill Juliet. “To rid her from this second marriage / or in my cell there she would kill herself” (5.3.241-242). In this quote, Friar explains that he felt he was bound to help her, or she would have ended her life anyway. In the letter to Romeo it indicates what the plan was for the two. The letter meant life-and-death for both Romeo and Juliet. However, Friar did not tell Friar John who was to deliver the letter to him, that it was urgent. The Black Death was a threat, so Friar John did not think it was that big of a deal if he did not get the letter. He explains to Friar Lawrence, “Suspecting that we both were in a house / where the infectious pestilence did reign” (5.2.9-10). If Friar Lawrence told him that the letter was urgent, then Romeo most likely would have gotten it, and Romeo and Juliet would have not died tragically. Friar Lawrence should have come up with a better plan to let Romeo know what was…

    If he didn’t marry Juliet none of the secrets would have happened. Since he allowed it and was the one who married them it caused them to have to be secretive about their marriage. If the friar didn’t allow or marry them or old Romeo and Juliet to talk to their fathers about this, their deaths could have been avoided. The friar also was the one who had the plan of Juliet drinking the poison and telling Romeo about their plan to run off together. The friar failed to give the letter to Romeo causing both Romeo and Juliet to kill themselves. If the friar got the message to Romeo in time both of them wouldn’t have ended up dead. “Tomorrow night look that thou lie alone; Let not thy nurse lie with thee in thy chamber. Take thou this vial, being then in bed, And this distilling liquor drink thou off;” This is what the friar said to Juliet and he made the plan up and in the end it failed. The plan caused both Romeo and Juliet to misunderstand what was going on. That misunderstanding lead to both of their…

Friar John told Friar Laurence, “I could not send it, here it is again. Nor get a messenger to bring it thee" (5.2.14-15).

    Firstly, Friar Laurence is highly to blame for the death of Romeo and Juliet even if he did try to do everything out of his good will. “Shall Romeo by my letter know our drift, and hither shall he come” (Act 4 Scene 1). Friar Laurence’s letter was meant to go to Romeo to inform him about the plan but the letter didn’t arrive to Romeo in time which made Romeo heartbroken and commit suicide with poison. If he wrote and sent the letter a bit sooner, the death of Romeo wouldn’t have…
