Friar And Capulets Role In The Demise Of Romeo And Juliet

The Tragic Triad: Romeo, Friar, and Capulets' Role in the Demise of Romeo and Juliet.

Romeo and Juliet would inevitably end in tragedy. This terrible ending can be put on three main characters Romeo who is walking blind for love, Friar who was the inside man for the whole play, and the Capulets who pushed Juliet to the point of death. Although their actions may seem harmless Romeo, Frair, and the Capulets can all be blamed for the tragic ending of Romeo and Juliet y William Shakespeare.

Frair chooses to seal Romeo and Juliet who are banned from ever loving each other. Friar states, “O, she knew well they did read by rote, that could not spell, but come, young waverer, come go with me.”(2.3.88-90). Here Friar agrees to marry the two which could only end in a disaster because of the two family feuds. One could say that he just wanted to unite the two families and settle their differences, “For this alliance may so happy prove to turn your households’ rancors to pure love.” (2.3.91-93). This clearly shows that Friar was only trying to help end the feud and is trying to bring peace. But even Friar knows his action is mistaken and states that this love will not work out, “Wisely, and slow. They stumble that runs fast.” (2.3.94). Here Frair speaks of this love and its unsteady condition. With a love that isn’t steady and irate families, this termination will be a great
