The feud between the two families played a huge part of the deaths of the two lovers. Since Romeo had the last name of Montague and Juliet had the last name of Capulet they were to be sworn enemies. Romeo and Juliet go against their parents and marry their own “enemy”. Because they got married they feel that they should keep
She ran to Friar Lawrence for help and the friar gave her distilling liquor so that she can fake her death. Friar Lawrence had someone send a letter to Romeo that never got delivered, explaining the situation with Juliet. Romeo not knowing about Juliet’s fake death led him to drink poison that he got from Apothecary. When Juliet woke-up, she found Romeo dead on the ground and she was devastated. Friar Lawrence was telling her that they should leave before the guards came and she resisted and he left her.
Public violence, a deadly plague committed by many individuals around the world, results in deadly effects contributing to the breakage of a society. This is evident in Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare. Shakespeare has a very strong message on public violence leading to devastation, shown by the effects of certain vicious actions. Firstly, those that are themselves involved in public violence are harmed by their own actions, and these actions later lead to their own deaths. Secondly, the people related to the victims are also impacted negatively, because of the loss of someone so close to them, which in turn causes them to commit further acts of violence, becoming a cycle.
She was taking a very high risk in taking the potion because Friar Lawrence did not even know if it would work and she herself questions if he wanted to poison her. In the end of Scene 3 she cries: “Romeo, I come! This do I drink to thee.”(Line 59) She was so completely dedicated to Romeo that she risked her life and the possibility of marrying Paris in taking the drink. Juliet decided to do this because she was attempting to secretly run away with Romeo, abandoning her family. This was a brave action on behalf of Juliet because disobeying Sir Capulet, her father, was considered a sin.
Juliet’s tragic death blames most of the characters in the play and unfolds the effect of hate’s far-reaching power as the fault of her sorrowful demise, but Nurse, Friar, Capulet, and fate are most at blame. Although at first, Friar
Finally Juliet had gone to the Friar for help, his plan had also become disastrous. This time the plan was to fake Juliet’s death and send a letter to Romeo to inform him her death was false but to come and rescue her from her tomb but the letter was sent to Romeo. Word had spread that Juliet had died, he rushed to see her, then killed himself seeing Juliet in her false death. After Juliet had woken from her sleep like death, only to see Romeo dead in front of her then which caused her to kill herself. I think Friar Lawrence is to blame for Romeo’s and Juliet’s death because he gave poison married Romeo and Juliet without consent.
When Proctor had to go to the court to get his wife out of being accused of upholding witchcraft he eventually confess to his sins he committed. Talking to Danforth, Proctors says “I lusted, and there is a promise in such sweet. But it is a whore’s vengeance, and you must see it; I set myself entirely in your hands” (page 49 act three) confessing to the crime he did. He realizes what he did was wrong which was why he tried to hide it for so long. But the only way for
Sir. Capulet put the wedding forward by one day because he didn’t know that Romeo and Juliet were married. Juliet could not marry Paris because she already married to Romeo, this caused her some confusion, and decided to seek Friar Lawrence for help. She was then given poison from Friar Lawrence, which would cause her to appear dead. She drank the poison, her fake death began.
Friar Lawrence then fled from the room to escape the police. When the Friar later returned, Juliet Montague had killed herself with a dagger. The Friar was earlier overheard saying: ‘Young Juliet is alive For whose dear sake though Wast but lately dead’ Juliet- ‘what if it be poison which the Friar Subtly hath ministered to have me dead’ Friar Lawrence had a reasonable motive in this case, as he did not approve of the marriage or Romeo and Juliet which could have resulted in the suicides being encouraged by Friar Lawrence. As shown in this report, several suspects could have been the cause of Romeo and Juliet’s suicides. As Friar Lawrence was the last person to see Juliet alive and gave Juliet the poison to make her sleep, he would be the person most responsible for the suicides of Juliet Capulet and Romeo Montague.
Throughout the play, we never really see him assume responsibility for any one of his choices. Juliet also makes a number of poor decisions including marrying Romeo without telling anyone besides the nurse. One major display of free will or a choice Juliet makes, is her decision to drink the potion. After deciding to fake her own death, Juliet wakes up and sees her husband lying dead. The biggest example of free will is Juliet’s decision to take the poison and end her own life.
