Accusations of who is to blame is a very touchy subject, no one intended of their deaths. Many accuse their parents or even the children themselves. But regardless of intention, the careless acts of Friar Lawrence is the clear cause of their deaths. ]]> 2021-03-21 07:14:59 UTC https://padlet.com/ssteady24/ul1bgajdsb5tfqb2/wish/1333752687 ssteady24 https://padlet.com/ssteady24/ul1bgajdsb5tfqb2/wish/1333765845 The first reason one may say Friar Lawrence is to blame for the tragedy of Romeo and Juliet is the fact that he married them despite knowing the consequences they would face. ]]> 2021-03-21 07:22:17 UTC https://padlet.com/ssteady24/ul1bgajdsb5tfqb2/wish/1333765845 ssteady24 https://padlet.com/ssteady24/ul1bgajdsb5tfqb2/wish/1333766173 1. Friar is a key part in aiding their love, he knows that its forbidden but he marries them despite knowing it will cause chaos. 
2. When he marries them it only strengthens their love which brings them to rely on each other.
3. Since they are so deeply in love and feel bound by marriage, this brings them to see death as the only way of staying together.
4. If Friar wouldn't have married them, Juliet may have further considered following through with the marriage to Paris and that would have prevented her death and in turn Romeos as well.
5. "Come, come with me and we will make short work,
    For, by your leaves, you shall not stay alone
    Till Holy Church incorporate two in one." (2.6 35)
Friar doesn't seem reluctant when it comes to marrying the two, though he as someone "trustworthy" which is how he is often described in the story, should be someone of more maturity and thoughtfulness.]]> 2021-03-21 07:22:30 UTC https://padlet.com/ssteady24/ul1bgajdsb5tfqb2/wish/1333766173 ssteady24 https://padlet.com/ssteady24/ul1bgajdsb5tfqb2/wish/1333766949 You would think that Friar would stop there, or even regret his decision and tell the children's parents, but Friar is also at fault for giving Juliet the poison to trick her family into believing she died leading Romeo to take his life out of mourning, and her the same. ]]> 2021-03-21 07:22:59 UTC https://padlet.com/ssteady24/ul1bgajdsb5tfqb2/wish/1333766949 ssteady24 https://padlet.com/ssteady24/ul1bgajdsb5tfqb2/wish/1333767271 1. Friar Lawrence messed up by marrying the two in the first place, but he took that further by giving Juliet the potion to make her parents believe she died as a way of escaping the bind to her family.
2. Friar being a trusted adult should have put more thought into his plan before he gave the potion to Juliet.
3. Friar acts on impulse in multiple ways whether that be marrying the two or giving Juliet the risky potion. 
4. After giving Juliet the potion he makes little to no effort to tell Romeo that she is alive after the first messenger he sends fails. 
5. "And if thou dearest, I'll give thee remedy." (4.1 75)
Friar Lawrence was the one who Romeo and Juliet looked to for guidance, but in the end he was the one who led them to make all the wrong decisions. He was the one to reluctantly accept the task of marrying the two, and he was the one to give Juliet the potion and leave her unprotected in the end. ]]> 2021-03-21 07:23:11 UTC https://padlet.com/ssteady24/ul1bgajdsb5tfqb2/wish/1333767271 ssteady24 https://padlet.com/ssteady24/ul1bgajdsb5tfqb2/wish/1333768146 Some will argue that the nurse is to blame for the deaths of Romeo and Juliet because of her ignorance and immaturity. However though this perspective may be of value, its apparent that its not the strongest belief compared to Friars transgressions. ]]> 2021-03-21 07:23:41 UTC https://padlet.com/ssteady24/ul1bgajdsb5tfqb2/wish/1333768146 ssteady24 https://padlet.com/ssteady24/ul1bgajdsb5tfqb2/wish/1333768647 1. Though the nurses ignorance was a contributor to what brought Juliet to trust into others rather than her family, this does not directly make the nurse at fault for their deaths. 
2. The nurse never seemed to have any strong suggestions when it came to active decisions for Juliet, whereas Friar Lawrence contributed in many of their significant changes (marriage).
3. The nurse if anything is more at fault for being encouraging when it came to Juliet being with someone she loved; she said things about Romeo's physical attributes and encouraged her to follow into a relationship with him but this doesn't link her to their deaths.
4. "I think it best you married with the County. 
    O, he's a lovely gentleman!" (3.5 225) 
The nurse plays a mother figure for Juliet which is why she seems to be a clear choice when picking blame, but when it came down to it the nurse actually encouraged Juliet to follow through in the marriage with Paris rather than doing something risky to be with Romeo.

The nurse only ever wanted what was best for Juliet and though her immaturity impacted Juliet's trust onto others, her intention was never to bring harm to either Juliet nor Romeo. Friars intention was more than likely only pure, but his selfishness rose throughout the tragic story. He began by being reluctant to marry the two but ultimately caved and didn't even tell their parents about the wedding. Following this, he knowingly gave Juliet the poison which is also because of his own selfish motivations so that he wouldn't impacted by any consequences for being the one to marry them. One of the most apparent times Friar's selfishness was shown was after Juliet had woken up and saw Romeo dead, Friar fled rather than helping her because he heard someone coming and didn't want to be found with them leaving Juliet alone to kill herself. In conclusion, Friar Lawrence is the one to criticize for the deaths of Romeo and Juliet because he allowed his careless actions to prove him to be an uncaring person when it came to protecting anyone but himself, leaving him to be the clear choice of who to blame.]]> 2021-03-21 07:24:15 UTC https://padlet.com/ssteady24/ul1bgajdsb5tfqb2/wish/1333769062
