    Shakespeare’s presentation of Friar Lawrence has meant that audiences are reluctant to blame him for what happens to Romeo and Juliet. How far do you agree? I don’t believe the deaths of Romeo and Juliet was only due to the actions of Friar Lawrence but also due to fate and other characters e.g. Balthazar and Romeo and Juliet themselves. As a priest‚ Romeo and Juliet trusted Friar Lawrence with their lives and went to him when they needed advice and solutions. He was there for Romeo and Juliet

    I think that Friar Lawrence shouldn’t be punished because he never tried to cause any of the bad things that happened to Romeo and Juliet intentionally.

He even helped them when he knew it would not end the feud between the Capulets and the Montagues which was one of the main reasons he helped them to begin with. In the end the

    “Young men’s love lies not truly in their heart‚ but in their eye’s.” Friar Lawrence said this just after Romeo told him about Juliet. Friar Lawrence is explaining why Romeo is not truly in love with Juliet by basically telling him that he just thinks she’s pretty and that Romeo is not truly in love with her. Is just one reason why these events are truly Romeo’s fault. Romeo is the most to blame for the events that took place in William Shakespeare’s rendition of Romeo and Juliet.
