Friar Lawrence Blame
In the play “Romeo and Juliet”, Friar Lawrence had a very important role. In this play he was always someone that both Romeo and Juliet could count on when they need advice or an answer to a problem. Also Friar Lawrence was seen to be the priest that always knew what was best for you in the end. Although Friar Lawrence was always there for them and was a priest he caused both families to fight and he even caused many deaths between them. Two deaths that he is most certainly accountable for are Romeo and Juliet’s.

Being a priest he offers Juliet the option of suicide if she truly does not want to marry
