Lastly, Friar Lawrence was in the tomb with Juliet as she awoke with Romeo dead beside her. Watching as his plan fell apart, he made the irrational decision to leave Juliet in the tomb because of his fear of being found by a guard. Friar was well aware of Juliet’s suicidal tendencies when she threatened to end her life if she had to be with Paris instead of Romeo. “Tell me not, friar, that thou hear'st of this - Unless thou tell me how I may prevent it / Be not so long to speak; I long to die, If what thou speak'st speak not of remedy.” Despite Friars knowledge that Juliet would kill herself if she had to marry another man, he left her in the tomb with Romeo whom she would have killed herself if she ever had to be without him.
