Is Friar Lawrence To Blame For Romeo And Juliet
The story “The Tragedy of Romeo and Juliet” is a story about two people who met and instantly fell in love in secret. They are both from two families that have bitter hatred for eachother. Juliet was forced to marry a man named Paris. Juliet said she would rather kill herself than marry Paris. Friar Lawrence was forced to come up with a plan that in the end pretty much killed Romeo and Juliet. But who was to blame for this tragedy?
