Friar Lawrence, in this play, helps Romeo to fulfill his desires of marrying Juliet and always has good intentions for Romeo. In the second act, Romeo was in a hurry to marry Juliet, and he pleads with the Friar to conduct their marriage as Romeo was in "haste". Friar Lawrence agrees to this plea, in the hope that the feud between the Capulets and the Montagues would end and that the marriage will bring the families to make peace with each other. However, his intentions are destroyed when Romeo and Juliet commit suicide for each other and die because of their sworn love for each other. This is because in the play, Juliet refused to marry Paris and so the Friar offers his help again and gives her a special potion that makes her appear dead.
The plan sounds good at first, but when the slightest mistake happens the plan ends in devastation. I think the Friar acts foolishly because, firstly, he is the one who marries Romeo and Juliet. Since Romeo and Juliet are two children who were married at a young age, it made them unable to make considered decisions. Friar Lawrence's other foolish action is giving Juliet a potion that will put her into a death-like sleep "Take thou this vial, being then in bed, And this distilling liquor drink thou off," He does send a message to Romeo, but it dosnt reach Romeo. The Friar helps Juliet fake her death and fool her parents.
It is also shown during the balcony scene when she agrees to marry Romeo after knowing him only a day and she is not even sure herself that Romeo wants to marry her. After his marriage she is told by her nurse she is to marry Paris. Thinking that her only option was to die or hear a plan presented by Friar Lawrence to get her out of a second marriage. Romeo fell in love very easily (Rosaline.) When he first met Juliet, he seemed to have forgotten about Rosaline Thinking Juliet was dead, Romeo thought that his only option was to take his life out of grief for Juliet.
In the scene following their marriage, we feel increasingly sympathetic towards Juliet as she faces Lord and Lady Capulet, who are insisting in marrying her to Paris “early next Thursday”. A new twist adds to the story when Romeo is banished from Verona after killing Juliet’s cousin, Tybalt. Tybalt and Romeo were caught up in a fight after the member of the Capulets slayed Romeo’s friend, Mercutio. As the audience, we feel sympathetic towards Juliet as she’s helpless and has no power to influence all the events that are taking place. The man she risked her life marrying will no longer be with her as this is their last night before Romeo leaves for Mantua and any chance of being able to reveal her beloved husband’s identity is shattered after Tybalt’s killing as the Capulet family is now more determined then ever on avenging Tybalt’s death.
As soon as the nurse finds out that Tybalt is dead her reaction is very troubling and she doesn’t exactly know how to break it to Juliet so at the end result she says, “Tybalt is gone, and Romeo banished; Romeo that kill’d him, he is banished.” (3.2.69-70). This quote is a literal and a grammatical structure because Juliet is very upset but angry as well, she is young and she doesn’t exactly known what to do in the situation. Romeo’s blamed for the death of Tybalt. Fat occurs again when Romeo comes to the understanding that Juliet is dead and he kills himself too. At the start of the play Romeo dreams that if he goes to
Love will affect people in many ways and make them do crazy things. This first act of haste is before Romeo sees Juliet but when he decides to go inside the Capulet ball after a few sentences that Benvolio said to convince him knowing he was a Montague, an enemy. With only one look at Juliet he is already madly in
From the beginning of Act 2, Scene 3 it is obvious to the reader that the relationship between Juliet and Romeo is destined to be a tragic one as both teenagers derive from families with an ongoing feud against each other. Within the play, it is evident that one tragedy just drives onto another tragedy as they all manage to interlink in some way. The first main event which had ‘started’ the line of tragedies between Romeo and Juliet would be when Romeo and Juliet had met at the Capulet’s ball. Initially, Romeo intended to attend the ball in order to catch sight of Rosaline however when he had met Juliet it was ‘love at first sight’ and two lovers become entirely entrapped with their binding love to each other. They become oblivious as to what is going on in the rest of their lives.
After Romeo is banished from Verona, Friar Laurence helps Juliet come up with a plan for her not to marry Paris. This plan consists of Juliet faking her death, so her sweet, love Romeo can find her in the Capulet’s tomb. However, if Friar Laurence didn’t mention the plan to Juliet, she would have save anyone from any heartbreak or death. Also Friar Laurence says, “Saint Francis be my speed! how oft to-night/ Have my feet stumbled at graves.” (5.3.121-122) This shows that Friar Laurence was being slowed down by graves in a tomb.
Tybalt, angry that romeo would not fight, killed Mercutio. Then Romeo, now full of revenge, fights Tybalt and wins. Now the prince, heads if both family's and other people of the town, are surrounding the body of Tybalt and Benvolio is explaining what happened to the prince 4.Tybalt, here slain, whom Romeo's hand did slay; Romeo that
After falling in love with each other and kissing they both find out their love is forbidden due to the fact their families are enemies, so in order to stay together they risked everything and got married by Friar Lawrence. And as things were getting better everything was ruined after Juliet’s cousin Tybalt gets into a fight with Mercutio and kills him filling Romeo up with rage and he killed Tybalt which got him banished. So as Juliet finds out the news she fakes her death to escape from marrying Paris but nobody told Romeo this. He poisons himself and dies next to Juliet who so happened to awake after he dies and affected by Romeo not waking up, she stabs herself next to him. They died together in each other’s arms and the parents after finding out the secret love decide to make peace although they lost their only kids.
