    The reason be is that is when Juliet when to the Friar for help after the conflict with her parents about the marriage of Paris, and so the Friar gave the plan of faking her death with a vial that contains a substance that would seem that if she was dead. But of course in the beginning where the prologue was at, it did say “The fearful passage of their death-mark'd Love,” ("DBQ: Romeo and Juliet: Who's to Blame". Doc. A), this part of the prologue, and some other parts, show that it foreshadows the death of the two children in order to bring peace to both their families. Besides from that, Friar John also is to blame, for he has forgotten to send the word to Romeo that Juliet is faking her death and is to avoid the marriage of Paris, as his response to the Friars question if he sent the letter, Friar John said “ I could not send it,- here it is again,-” ("DBQ: Romeo and Juliet: Who's to Blame". Doc. E). So really the one to blame here is Friar John, because the idea of faking one's death to avoid their marriage would have ran smoothly if Friar John told the one person that is suppose to know,…

    If only there were no infectious disease going around, then Friar John would have been able to go into Mantua. There, Friar John would give Romeo the letter telling him about Juliet’s fake death and what he has to do to get them both back to Mantua. Romeo would then go to Juliet’s tomb and wait until she woke up. They would secretly flee to Mantua where they would live peacefully. This, however, could have happened if there was no disease and Friar John was allowed to go into Mantua to give Romeo the letter. The city, “so fearful were they of infection,” not only didn’t let Friar John come into Mantua, but the letter could not go through either (Shakespeare 16). This event caused everything to go downhill and made Romeo think that Juliet was…

    In the play Romeo and Juliet, Friar Laurence was the one to blame for the deaths of Romeo and Juliet. First, Friar Laurence didn't deliver the letter to Romero in time. In Act Five, Scene Two Friar Laurence stated "Who bare my letter, then, to Romero".

They both would be alive because the letter explain the plan that had change from the original plan.

    I believe that Friar Laurence is to blame for the deaths of Romeo and Juliet. Friar Laurence was the one that gave Juliet the potion that made her appear dead, therefore misleading Romeo and causing him to kill himself. Friar Laurence says “Take thou this vial, being then in bed, And this distilled liquor drink thou off; When presently through all thy veins shall run A cold and drowsy humor; no pulse, no warmth, no breath.” When Friar Laurence was figuring out this plan he could had come up with something safer or a backup plan just in case something went wrong. He also should had thought of the pros and cons of this plan before he went through with it because he was faced with a huge problem when the plan could not get through to Romeo and…

    Some may believe that fate and destiny was the cause of Romeo and Juliet’s death. Others may argue that the cause of their deaths were from the actions of the characters in the book. You can even make an argue for both sides and be able to give specific examples for each. Ultimately, I think that Friar John is the one to blame for their deaths. His boss sent him on an important mission to deliver the plan to Romeo and he was playing at some sick guy’s house. Then he failed to ask the people who quarantined him to notify Friar Lawrence of the mishap. So really the blame goes to him and it is not fate nor destiny.…

    The Friar is to blame for all of the drama and deaths that went on in Romeo and Juliet. If the Friar wouldn't have married Romeo and Juliet then none of the drama would have began. The Friar shouldn't have given the potion to Juliet, and he shouldn't have lied to the Capulets about why Juliet wouldn't marry Paris. The Friar also shouldn't have gone along with new plans without informing Romeo on what his part was first.…

    In the play “Romeo and Juliet” written by William Shakespeare I blame the reason for their tragedy on Friar Laurence. In the play the Friar married Romeo and Juliet to each other and didn’t inform the Capulet's nor the Montague's. The Friar also tried to help Juliet by giving her a sleeping potion so she wouldn’t have to marry Paris. He also failed to deliver the letter to Romeo saying that Romeo didn’t die, but she was in fact sleeping. “I could not send it here it is again nor get a messenger to bring it thee so fearful were they of infection” (Shakespeare 470). Lastly the Friar had blamed the two lover's death of Romeo and Juliet when both the Capulet's and Montague's had heard of there passings.…

    Friar was extremely well known for thinking of things off the top of his head. His plan was to fake Juliet’s death, so Romeo and Juliet can leave happily ever after. What he states is that he will send a letter to Romeo so he is aware on the plan and get them to escape together. This leads to the couples due to the fact that…. Romeo never received the letter, thus leads to Romeo thinking she is dead, which made him kill himself. If he planned it out, maybe Romeo would have found and agreed with the plan. Another reason is Friar marrying the couple way too quickly. After Romeo meet Juliet about a day ago, he goes to Friar to get them married. However Friar states that he didn’t really love her, he just is quickly in love. If Friar didn’t marry them quickly, maybe the families would understand that they are extremely dedicated to each other, ending the feud. Also, Friar just did all this just to end the feud. If he thought twice about the decision, maybe they wouldn’t lead up to the events that killed them. That is the final trait that killed…
