Wyatt Anders Mrs. Pepper Language Arts Who caused the tragedy in Romeo & Juliet 26 March 2024
In the horrifically tragic but ever yet amazing story of Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare, this story starts when two lovers at first sight decide that they will love each other to the ends of the Earth, and die for each other at any time, for the expense of their families' feud. However, a father figure and mentor of the main character Romeo, named Friar Lawrence, committed numerous errors throughout the story, such as marrying Romeo and Juliet to each other in secret, concocting a plan for Juliet to escape to Romeo, and Friar Lawrence failing to send Romeo a letter which notifies him of something very important.

This quote summarizes and showcases how Friar Lawrence was extraordinarily reluctant to accept and was more obliged to decline, but still undertook this deed in respect.

Furthermore, another precise ethical impetus of the man of god, Friar Lawrence, being on the indictable side of things is in view of the fact that he faltered to deliver a letter to Romeo, informing him of the plan that could have saved both of the lovers' lives, Romeo and Juliet. To bolster this accusation, if Friar Lawrence himself had indicatively decided to career himself over to where Romeo was to deliver it himself, instead of another Friar that got halted by a sick family that was deeply in need of herbs to save their child, and had patented himself to be serious about this circumstance, they could have still been alive at the time.

This quote bolsters the reality of the fact that Friar Lawrence only began to take this matter seriously in the most dire of places, and not the beginning. Not only did Friar Lawrence be the main cause of Romeo and Juliet’s death, but he was also the pioneer of the next grave mistake, making the plan that caused both of the lovers to die in the first
