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.

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.

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>

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>

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

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!!!!

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!!

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.

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. :|
