    If only there were no infectious disease going around, then Friar John would have been able to go into Mantua. There, Friar John would give Romeo the letter telling him about Juliet’s fake death and what he has to do to get them both back to Mantua. Romeo would then go to Juliet’s tomb and wait until she woke up. They would secretly flee to Mantua where they would live peacefully. This, however, could have happened if there was no disease and Friar John was allowed to go into Mantua to give Romeo the letter. The city, “so fearful were they of infection,” not only didn’t let Friar John come into Mantua, but the letter could not go through either (Shakespeare 16). This event caused everything to go downhill and made Romeo think that Juliet was…

    Some may believe that fate and destiny was the cause of Romeo and Juliet’s death. Others may argue that the cause of their deaths were from the actions of the characters in the book. You can even make an argue for both sides and be able to give specific examples for each. Ultimately, I think that Friar John is the one to blame for their deaths. His boss sent him on an important mission to deliver the plan to Romeo and he was playing at some sick guy’s house. Then he failed to ask the people who quarantined him to notify Friar Lawrence of the mishap. So really the blame goes to him and it is not fate nor destiny.…

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.…

    After the Friar found out that both Romeo and Paris had died. He went to check on Juliet who was depressed because of the sight she was seeing. The Friar tried to persuade Juliet into coming with him to the sisterhood of holy nuns. Instead he ran away because someone was coming near Juliet’s tomb, to which caused the death of Juliet: “Come, come away. Thy husband in thy bosom there lies dead, And paris too. Come, I’ll dispose of thee, Among a sisterhood of holy. Stay not to question, for the watch is coming. Come, go, good Juliet, I dare no longer stay.” ( 5.3 166 - 171 ) and “ go, get out of here, I’m not going anywhere, ( Exit Friar Lawrence ).” ( 5.3 172 ) The quotes that were added were involved in the topic, because it shows that the Friar was too afraid and ran off without knowing the choices that he had just made. It also shows that the Friar made the error of leaving Juliet alone with Romeo’s dagger in her tomb: “O happy dagger, This is thy sheath. There rust and let me die. (stabs herself with ROMEO’s dagger and dies)” ( 5.3 182 - 184 ) as well as being too eager to leave.
