Explain Who Is To Blame For Romeo And Juliet's Death

Death has made it’s way into Verona and into the lives of the Capulets and Montagues. Now there is only one question. Who is to blame for the death of the star-crossed lovers? Friar Lawrence out off all of the characters in Romeo and Juliet, is the most to blame for their deaths. All though their are many people who played a role in the deaths of Romeo and Juliet, the Friar is the most to blame. And he even confesses it was his fault they died. He was not able to send the letter that was required for Romeo so he knew about the plan, he gave Juliet the sleep potion which played a big part in Romeo and then Juliet's death, and when he was in the tomb with Romeo dead and Juliet awake but instead of helping he ran away like a coward. He is one

“I will be brief/for my short date of breath Is not so long as is a tedious tale./Romeo, there dead, was husband to that Juliet,/And she, there dead, that Romeo’s faithful wife.” This is said all because of his choices, of not being able to send the letter, giving Juliet the poison, and leaving without helping Juliet at all. The Friar has confessed that it is all his fault that they killed themselves even though he had good intentions. The Friar has confessed, but that is not

Juliet even before she took the potion was worried about the consequences and says in 4.3.24.58 “What if it be a poison which the friar subtly hath minist’red to have me dead/Lest in this marriage he should be dishonor’dn because he married me before to Romeo?/I fear it is, and yet methinks it should not/For he hath still been tried a holy man./How if, when I am laid into the tomb,/I wake before the time that Romeo come to redeem me? There’s a fearful point!/Shall I not then be stifled in the vault, to whose foul mouth no healthsome air breathes in, and there die strangled ere my Romeo comes?” The Friar gave her the potion and Juliet is right that something does go wrong with the plan and that ended with Romeo and Juliet losing their lives. If the Friar didn’t give Juliet the poison Romeo and Juliet's family wouldn’t have thought Juliet was dead. That means she wouldn’t have been stuck in the tomb, Romeo wouldn’t come to her tomb to find she lying lifeless and taking his life, and word about juliet's death wouldn’t have gone
