"Some will be forgiven, others punished, for there was never a more painful story than that of Juliet and her Romeo." Romeo and Juliet: the story and characters that define "adolescent love" and tragedy. But was that tragic misunderstanding and misadventure really their fault? A question that has been raised many times has now become the topic of this essay; Who is really to blame for the unfortunate death of the two deepest lovers? Through a pathetic fallacy of effect, foreshadowing, and a penetrating prologue, Shakespeare gives us a preview of what would become of the two tormented lovers. Many characters can be blamed for their deaths in various indirect ways, such as the Nurse, Capulet, Tybalt, or even Romeo himself. But can Friar Laurence also be counted? In Shakespeare's play Romeo and Juliet, Friar Laurence plays a very significant role as the priest of the church of St. Francis and who the children trusted completely. Incredibly, in this tragedy, Friar Lawrence plays the most important role in the death of the two star-crossed lovers through rash and hasty decisions. There are many sources of evidence that demonstrate that the Friar is indirectly responsible for the fate of the children, through the “appreciated” help he provided to the children so that they could finally be together. However, without the Friar the children would have no one to support their love and decisions, due to the deadly family feud between Montague and Capulet. Hoping to resolve a ten-year-old senseless dispute, the friar, without thinking too much about his decisions, helped the children in their desperate spirit to get married and live a happy life together. Would anyone consider him unaware of the intensity of current family conditions? Or... halfway through the paper... alt would not have been killed at Romeo's hands and would not have been banished, thus avoiding the potion plan altogether. Instead of giving saintly advice and helping them confess their love to their families, which would have required more effort but would certainly have resulted in a more contained and less tragic ending for all the characters, he took the easy way out and continued with the 'underground. marriage. Therefore, in the play Romeo and Juliet, Friar Laurence was indicated as the character most responsible for the death of the two young lovers. “…those who run fast stumble”; it's amazing how he couldn't apply his own intuition to his decisions. Yes, in the end, as he predicted, the families were reunited and put an end to the long and disastrous feud, yet let us ask ourselves: can love be considered blissful anger; but it was really worth it??
