Juliet says “Am I supposed to say bad things about my own husband? Ah, my poor husband, who will sing your praises when I, your wife of three hours, have been saying awful things about you? But why, you villain, did you kill my cousin? Probably because my cousin the villain would have killed my husband. I’m not going to cry any tears. I would cry with joy that Romeo is alive, but I should cry tears of grief because Tybalt is dead. My husband, whom Tybalt wanted to kill, is alive. Tybalt, who wanted to kill my husband, is dead. All this is comforting news”(3.2.98-110). Juliet only cared about Romeo and did not care about tybalt at all because she will eventually be able to see Romeo and will never be able to see Tybal again. They were very selfish and had other reasons they only care about themselves. Romeo and Juliet rushed everything instead of taking Friar Laurence advice to slow down . This is when Romeo asks Friar Lawrence if he can marry them and it's right after Romeo got rejected by another girl and Friar Lawrence is

    Tybalt wanted to fight Romeo and started calling him a villain and other things like that. When he was calling him that Romeo didn’t lose his cool or anything, he just stays calm and tells Tybalt he doesn’t want to fight. Tybalt says “No better term than this: thou art a villain.”(3.1.57-63) That is when Tybalt gives his reason he wants to fight Romeo. When Tybalt kills Mercutio that’s when Romeo loses it and that is the reason Juliet faked her death. And after Romeo finds out that’s when he wants to kill himself also. Tybalt had a very big impact on the deaths of Romeo and Juliet.…

    Friar Laurence plays a large part in the downfall of Romeo and Juliet. He is extremely secretive with Romeo and Juliet’s relationship, he does not communicate well, and is an overall coward. Friar Laurence makes the ill-advised decision to marry Romeo and Juliet instead of denying to marry them and telling their parents. He believes that their relationship is better kept a secret. In fact, the Friar reveals how uneasy he feels about the union, but goes through with it anyway because of these deep beliefs: “O she knew well Thy love did read by rote, that could not spell. But come, young waverer, come go with me, In one respect I’ll…

    Friar laurence also made immature choices as well. He agreed to marry the two and also made a plan that in the end killed them. “ Take thou this vial, being then in bed and this distilled liquor drink thou off” (pg. 255). Here the friar tells Juliet to drink a poison that won’t kill her but make her sleep for two days. He does this so she can fake her death and be with Romeo. The Friar also made the decision to marry Romeo and Juliet in the beginning of the play. “ I’ll thy assistant be; for this alliance may so happy prove to turn your households rancer to pure love” (pg. 217). This is where things started going bad for the two. The friar could have denied Romeo when he asked for him to marry…

    Romeo and Juliet is a story written by William Shakespeare of a romantic tragedy that happened between Romeo and Juliet. The story teaches us to think intensively before we do something that can impact our lives so greatly. The story also teaches us how love can affect the decisions that we make rapidly. As a secondary character, Friar Lawrence was a mentor to Romeo; he taught him new things and helped to light a path that would make his future sophisticated. At the end of the story, Friar Lawrence made an impact on the tragedy that occurred where Juliet and Romeo die for their love for each other. Without Friar Lawrence in the story, the end tragedy may have not happened; furthermore Romeo and Juliet may not have been together…

    His impulsive side had caused quite some havoc. Romeo did not fall in love, yet merely was infatuated with Juliet, as well as Rosaline, “So soon Forsaken? Young men’s love then lies not truly in their hearts, but in their eyes”(2.3.67-68). If Romeo hadn’t acted out on this infatuation towards Juliet then none of the rapid irrational actions of the couple would have occurred. Romeo then marries Juliet the next evening, a few hours later from meeting each other, he asks Friar Laurence who reluctantly accepts, but for other reasons, “That thou consent to marry us today”(2.2.64). Since the marriage was done secretly no-one else besides the Friar, nurse and Balthasar knew about it therefore it caused some problems. For example, Tybalt challenges Romeo to a duel, yet Romeo has no intentions in fighting with Tybalt due to them being cousins, “Tybalt, the reason that I have to love thee”(3.1.59). Tybalt doesn't know about the marriage so he takes Romeo’s remark as a sarcastic one which fuels his anger, “Boy, this shall not excuse the injuries that thou hast done to me”(3.1.63-64). When Mercutio is slain by Tybalt , Romeo takes it upon himself to avenge his friend’s death and slays Tybalt, but soon realized what he has done, “O, I am fortune’s fool!”(3.1.135). Romeo acted impulsively which leads to his banishment from Verona and breaking any chance of reconcile between the families, “Immediately we do…

    First of all, he is the one that had the idea for Juliet to drink the fake poison. He states, "take thou this vial, being then in bed, and this distilled liquor drink thou off... and then awake as from a pleasant sleep." (1021-1022) This means that if the friar never had the idea to have Juliet fake her death, Romeo would have never killed himself. There would have been no letter to be sent to Romeo, and nobody would have to worry about anyone's deaths. Also, Friar Laurence never knew that the letter would not get to Romeo. Secondly, Friar Laurence was the one who married them in the first place. He knew that they were forbidden to get married. He thought that if he married them, the drama and fighting between their families would stop. Friar Laurence states ¨in one respect I´ll assist be; For this alliance may so happy prove to turn your households rancor to pure love¨(980) This is saying that not knowing what marrying Romeo and Juliet could cause, but he did it anyway. Little did he know that is would wound up with both of them dead. He thought that if they were married, nothing could go wrong. The friar thought there would be a happily ever after. If he never married them, then Juliet would learn that she has to do what she told, and not go behind her parents back. Both of these quotes explain that Friar Laurence is easily to blame for the tragic deaths of Romeo and…

    The feud was passed down from generations, and nobody is sure why it started. Instead of going and trying to make amends with the two families, Friar Lawrence says to Romeo, “For this alliance may so happy prove / to turn your households’ rancour to pure love” (2.3.91-92). This quote shows that Friar Lawrence depended on them getting married and expecting the families to resolve their conflict. It was a bad idea for the two to get married so rationally, and he did not try talking them out of it, rather he went along with the idea. Friar Lawrence did not think Romeo’s love for Juliet was real because he had just loved Rosaline, “Is Rosaline, whom thou didst love so dear / so young forsaken? Young men’s love then lies / Not truly in their hearts, but in their eyes” (2.2.66-68). Still, he agreed to marry them anyway. Even though Romeo and Juliet could have taken the responsibility to wait, Friar could have taken the responsibility to not marry them and make them wait until they knew each other better. “So smile the heavens upon this holy act / that after hours with sorrow chide us not!” (2.6.1-2) is what Friar Lawrence says to Romeo. He is hoping that the marriage will work out for the two of them, and that fate and the heavens won’t make them regret the decision of marring so soon. This also shows that he is depending on the marriage to work out, which doesn’t in the…

    “But come, young waverer, come, go with me,/ In one respect I’ll thy assistant be;/ For this Alliance may so happy prove/ To turn your households’ rancour to pure love”(II, iii, 92-95). This was when Romeo asks Friar Lawrence to marry him and Juliet. Friar Lawrence was a little shocked that Romeo quickly got over Rosaline and immediately fell in love with his enemy, but he agrees to Romeo’s request anyway because he believes it will turn the hatred of their families into love. Friar Lawrence should have rejected Romeo and told their parents or someone about their relationship. This is one of many chances Friar Lawrence had to change the outcome of the play, but…

    Romeo kills Tybalt in revenge for the death of his friend, Mercutio. The Prince then utters a decree, banishing Romeo from Verona. Romeo doesn't know what decree the Prince has made. In Act 3 Scene 3, Romeo hears the news of his banishment from the Friar. He says that exile is far worse than death because he has to live without Juliet (Romeo and Juliet 3.3). " Ha, banishment? Be merciful, say "death" For exile is hath more terror in his look, much more than death. Do not say banishment" (Shakespeare 156). Romeo says he would rather die than be banished and tries to kill himself. Romeo's stubbornness is shown when he doesn't listen to the wise Friar's advice on how thankful he should be for not being sentenced to death. He is also stubborn for deciding that killing himself will solve the hardships and problems he faces now. He fails to realize how blessed he is for staying alive. He doesn't consider alternatives, such as: he would be able to meet Juliet again somehow and if he had, had more patience, he would have known of the plan of Friar Laurence and Romeo and Juliet could have been together. However, Romeo's stubbornness made him unable to endure the momentary suffering of being separated from Juliet and concluded that killing himself would solve the problem. He didn't realize what his death would mean to other characters like Juliet. He was being too self-centered. Another of Romeo's…

    These deaths that occur appear in, and greatly impact, both the Montague and Capulet families. When Romeo first appears at the Capulet party, Tybalt instantaneously notices him, and becomes quite angry. Tybalt runs to Lord Capulet, to see he can be granted to permission to remove of Romeo. Lord Capulet responds surprisingly well to the news of Romeo arriving at the party. “Content thee gentle coz. Let him alone.” States Capulet in act 1 scene 5. However, Tybalt has a different opinion on what should happen to Romeo. Because of Tybalt’s differing opinion, he later, in act 3 scene 1, finds Romeo and proceeds to throw insults around. Mercutio, Romeo’s best friend, becomes angry at Tybalt for insulting his best friend, and decides to fight with Tybalt. Romeo disagrees with this decision and tries to break up the fight. Mercutio ends up being stabbed by Tybalt, and then out of anger Romeo kills Tybalt. Because all of these characters had differing opinions, lives were lost, leaving long lasting effects on both…

    She had trusted the Friar to help her save her marriage with Romeo and make sure she doesn’t end up marrying Paris. To ensure Juliet from not marrying Paris and to stay united with Romeo, Friar Lawrence had come up with a plan. His plan for Juliet was to “Go home...give consent to marry Paris… take thou this veil, being then in bed, and this distilling liquor drink thou off… I will watch thy waking and that very night shall Romeo bear thee hence to Mantua” (p.750). Friar Lawrence had ensured that there wouldn't be any flaws to this plan. But what had happened was that Romeo didn’t get the letter and came to Juliet’s tomb and had killed himself. After waking up from her coma-like state, Juliet had seen her husband lying dead on the ground. She decided that “[she] will not away...haply some poison yet doth hang on them to make me die with a restorative.... The I’ll be brief. O happy dagger!” (p. 769-770). Juliet had killed herself because she thought that a world without Romeo was equivalent to no world at all. Without Friar Lawrence’s carelessness and ignorance in the plan, Romeo wouldn’t have killed himself and neither would Juliet. He was the cause of their deaths because of the failures in his plans.…

    Another significant character that contributes to Romeo and Juliet's death by thinking with his heart was Romeo himself. Mercutio is the best friend of Romeo. He decides to provoke a fight with Tybalt, Juliet's cousin. At first, the fight was for fun, but Tybalt ended up stabbing Mercutio, which resulted in him dying.

Juliet's nurse ends up telling her that Romeo killed Tybalt and he is banished. This brings a lot of misery to Juliet, she says, “Some word there was, worser than Tybalt’s death, that murdered me. I would forget it fain,…
