HEll ! yea its definatly friar laurence's fault , if you wasnt such an old softy..... =-)

most of the major characters in the play had some small part in causing the death of romeo and juliet, Fiar lawrences plan was too complex, but Romeo acted too quickly and rushed, Mercutio started the fight between Romeo and Tybalt with his death, The parents rivalry kept themselves unaware till the end, if you look at the storyline alot of characters had to do alot of particular things for this ending to happen, like it was fated, they were all to blame for theyre rivaling and mistrust of each other. and some just happend to be in the wrong place in the wrong time.

i believe that it was in a way friar lawrences fault because he was the cause of a lack of communication but i also think that if these people had been real they would have died anyway because is was their fate to do so and end the quarrel between the Capulet's and Montegue's, if they had not died many people would have probably done so anyway.

[boe]

it kind of was his fault but it wasn't that they moved the wedding ahead thats why romeo didn't get the letter to let him know.

[Claire]

i dont feel it was friar lawrences fault as he was the only person that stood by romeo they had a special bond between each other their relationship was like a father and son he may have been a bit carelees about the letter but in no way was it his fault it was fate and was going to happen anyway<br><br>

Absolutely, without the friar and his inability to give romeo the message, they both could have lived. Yet it is ironic that the only way to live was through the friar who in turn killed them both.<br>

[Chris]

I do not think that the Friar is to be solely responsible , yet since he had some age, one would think that he would have used the wisdom he had and advise Romeo & Juliet to wait some time.<br>

[shawna]

no! why would it be friar lawrence's fault?? he's just a druggy. its juliet's fault.

[Beth]

In my English class we read Romeo & Juliet and now we are having a trail @ who is guilty of the murders. I'm Friar L.'s procutor & I think that it is definetly his fault! Then are lots of quotes in the play to back it up too.

i think it was balthasar's fault!!!!

[ME!]

its a play. fictional. in which shakespeare is a genius. the fact that his play brought these questions and thoughts into your head is amazing. you should all stop and think of what a mind came up with this and his other plays!<br><br><br><br>-XMEX

yeh i agree that friar lawrence was the cause of romeo and juliet's death, had he not given juliet that vail for her to appear dead then romeo would not hav comitted suicide. FRIAR LAWRENCE SUCKS!!

[heather]

Although I think that Romeo and Juliet is a brilliant play. I have to question the fact that Romeo and Juliet probably were not in love. It seems Juliet was just looking for a way out of her family before she had to marry Paris. While Romeo who was just out of love with Rosaline, for the mere fact that she would not have sex with him, what is to lead us to believe that the love for Juliet was the same love given to Rosaline. Romeo was just trying to get what he wanted and did. I think they were to young adults searching for something. The obvious fact that William Shakespeare was a genius makes all this brilliant. So it resolves in a beautiful play.

Romeo and Juliet was a great book. I think is was Friar Lawerences fault that they died. I also think all the characters palyed a part in all the deaths.

[joiz]

ya sure it's friar lawrence's fault. HE gave juliet the potion thing for her to be as though she was dead. if not for the potion romeo wouldnt have died and juliet wouldnt die too! so, it's all his fault. :|

[Jocelyn]

No, I beleive Romeo and Juliet caused their own fate. Although, Friar Laurence did have a role in their deaths, he was not the one who was so deeply in love with Juliet, that he would go to the extremes of suicide. It also goes the same way with Juliet, she was the one who decided to take her own life.

i dont think at all that it is friar laurences fault that romeo and juliet died. It was romeo that wanted it so he gave it to him. he understood romeos reasons and was a good friend.

[Amanda G.]

I think that it was Friar Lawrences fault that they both died. If only Romeo would have known nothing would have happened the way it did. Does anyone agree with me?

[Shasta Rose]

I agree that it was Friar Lawrence' fault that Romeo and Juliet died. If it wasn't for him Juliet would not have took that potion and fallen asleep in the first place. I believe she should have just ran away from home for Romeo instead of putting herself to sleep. I believe that it was mostly, maybe all Friar' fault!

[Sammy...im a chick....]

i also believe that yea.it was friar's fault, if it hadnt been for friar and what he gave juliet romeo wouldnt have thought she was dead, and he wouldnt have drank the poison, and killed himself, friar shall either way be entwined into the death..even though many of you people believe otherwise..READ THA STORY AND UNDERSTAND IT...then you will probably see in which way friar is caught up in the death of these two lovers..SHAKESPEARE ROCKS!!

i think it was romeo's and juliet's fault that they died. Mostly because they kind of killed themselves.

[BluElf]

I do. he knew the whole time what was going on and did nothing to stop it!

[~]

I agree that Friar Lawrence was partially responsible for the two lovers' deaths, however, he indirectly killed them since he did not mean for that to be the outcome.

I don't think it was Friar Laurence's fault. I think it was Balthasar's fault, because if he had found out if Juliet was really dead before telling Romeo she was he wouild not have killed himself. Therefore Juliet would not have killed herself. It is also Romeo's fault, because he should've waited until he heard from Friar Laurence before doing anything stupid. I also enjoyed this play. At first I thought it was going to be boring when my teacher said we were reading it, but she made it fun. We my team is the only ninth grade team that enjoyed it. THanks to my Ms. McAllister

[Simone]

If Frair Laurence hadn't come up with a plan to stop Juliet from marrying Paris, she would have killed herself. When Romeo found out he would have killed himself. So anyway you put it they still would've died. Unless Juliet woke up while Romeo was doing a soliloquy or him and Paris fought longer or his soliloquy was longer or if Friar Laurence came earlier. So it wasn't just Friar Laurence's fault.

Friar LAwrence is the main cause, he has political motivations and constantly oversteps his eccalsticial obligations.

yeah rigt you are all wired that is just a play not real life I don't belive in non of thas stuff. But I have to do a report on that @@@@@ story. Thats the one and only reasson i am in this web site.

[Unregistered]

I think that it was partly Friar Lawrences fault because of the really stupid plan he made up!! they should ahve just both run away together when Romeo left. It is also Romeo and Juliet's parents fault because they should have been more invloved with their teenagers and had a closer realtionship with them.

[danielle]

it isnt just friars thought. Nurse convinced juliet to marry romeo AND paris. romeo is too impulsive. every character had someting to do with the tragedy.

[Unregistered]

if friar lawernce had not given Juliet the vail then juliet would have committed sucide and then romeo would have committed sucide and then they would both be dead anyway.

[Tahlia]

I think that its Balthasar's fault - if he got the message right in the frist place, Friar L. woundnt have had to bother about the letter getting to Romeo.

[Steven]

It is difinitely friar lawrences fault that they all died. He aranged everything and planned it all. He is the one that narried them. He faked Juliets death which made romeo kill himself, and that made juliet kill herself so it is really all the stupid friars fault.

[xtine]

friar laurence was trying to end the feud between the 2 feuding families. Also romeo went to him in confidence and asked the Friar if he could marry juilet. If there was a person to blame for these unfortunate deaths it would have to be the two feuding familes because if you think about it. It was them who caused the death because they would not let romeo and juilet be together so Romeo and juilet could love no one else so they did the most unfortunate thing and Friar Laurence did not give Romeo the potion he gave juilet the sleeping potion which was not bad in the long run.<br><br><br>thanks 4 reading <br>xtine

No, I don't think it was the Friar's fault. Juliet wasn't dead - she just appeared to be that way. If Romeo had patience and didn't need to be so impulsively driven by his emotions he wouldn't have killed himself. Then she would have woken, and they'd both be alive.

[Amanda]

your absolutely right!, i feel the same way that it's his fault that there dead, lol same name too=P

[Judith]

If Friar didn't help them marry,<br>If Friar didn't research on the medical plant,<br>If Friar didn't let Juliet drink the magic medicine,<br>If Friar came in time at the last scene,<br>If all these "didn't" really didn't happen, maybe Romeo and Juliet would not die.

[Amanda]

Romeo and Juliet is probably the best play written by Shakespeare. I really enjoyed it. Does anyone else think it's Friar Laurence's fault that Romeo and Juliet died?
