Why Is Friar Lawrence At Fault

Love, what is love. Some may say love is when you will do anything for that person. Such as Romeo and Juliet did for each other. They would rather kill themselves than to be without each other. Many people could say that the two lovers were at fault, but i believe that Friar Lawrence is most at fault for their death. He allowed the two young lovers to get married without their parents knowing. He also made a plan to fake Juliets death, so that she did not have to marry Paris. Friar Lawrence is most at fault for the two lovers death.

Friar Lawrence, who acted as the father figure for the two lovers Romeo and Juliet, intended to end the hate between the two rival families the Capulets and the Montagues, by bringing peace to the two

“ Hold daughter! I do spy a kind of hope which craves as desperate an execution that is desperate to prevent” (lV.I.68-69). As Friar Lawrence was well respected and had a big influence in the community, it is agreed that he could have delayed the wedding if he really wanted too. Delaying would have given the couple more time. It would have also would have give Friar more time to look over the situation. Friar is the the one who knows that Juliet is alive. His half-hearted attempt to tell Romeo the plan him and Juliet made. Friar's hasty attempt to tell Romeo, maybe because he believed that Romeo did not truly love Juliet. This is because of the night before he was crying for Rosalin. “Young men’s love then lies not truly in their heart, but in their eyes” (ll.III.67-68). This shows that Friar think Romeo only is in love with Juliet because of her

When Friar wanted Juliet to fake her death there was a poor communication that informs Romeo of the plan. “Tell me not , friar that thou hearest of this, unless thou tell me how may i prevent it “ (IV.I.50-51). As it is understood , Juliet fell from Romeo at a really fast paced, madly and blindly. Taking Friar’s advice without fully thinking it through. Thinking about all the consequences before going along with the plan . Romeo and Juliet would have been alive if Friar would have actually thought of a plan that would been smart. Since he was supposed to look out of them. Another reason people would argue that it was indeed her fault is because she know that the two families dislike each other. “This but they name that is my enemy. Thou art thyself not a Montague” (II.II.39-40). She knows that she isn't allowed to see him. She still feels that she needs too. If it was not for Friar accepting to marry them. Juliet was only thirteen, Juliet would have just moved on. Since, she was so young she thought is was madly in love with someone she knew nothing about. Juliet maybe even have married
