                        Whose Fault Is It?
        Romeo and Juliet is a play, by William Shakespeargon, is about cardinal star-crossd lovers that get married and take their lives at the end. Each someone in one way or an other feels they are responsible for their deaths, but the most responsible person is friar Laurence, because he is the one who kept their love and marriage a secret.
        friar Laurence was a Holy man, with high-priced intentions. He did non mean for any function to go wrong, but he had options that could let prevented those plastered things from happening. Like when he agreed to marry Romeo and Juliet. mendicant Laurence is sermon to Romeo about whether he should marry Romeo and Juliet or not, O, she knew well,/ Thy love did contain by rote and could not spell... (II,iii,33). Here the friar comes up with a great idea, ...For this alliance many so felicitous to prove,/To turn your households rancor to pure love. (II, iii , 33). He has good intentions, but not the right ones. He had another option, he could have said, Let me judge about it. Or he could have told Montague, Romeos dad, that Romeo cute to marry Juliet and then the two families could have talked it through, but he chose to marry them behind their parents backs.         Also, the Holy Friar was unsure of practically all the things he was doing.
        Friar Laurence is lecture to Romeo before Juliet arrives, So smile the heavens upon this holy act,/That after-hours with aggrieve chide us not! (II, iv, 41). He is definitely praying this depart turn out to be a good thing and not a bad idea. Well that is not a good idea because neither...
It is all very true, but think about William Shakespeare, I mean he had to entertain his groundlings and they requisiteed death and rivalry.
If friar laurence was to marry Romeo and Juliet to resolve conflict with the parents, their cultivation would have been fine but nobody wouls watch Shakespeares plays. Or groundlings, during the show will make a scene. Remember, the true intentions of Shakespeares plays were for self profit, and he barely wrote R & J to make money.
This is a good essay but it could be improved upon. For example, you could have included secondary sources.
A very arouse interpretation of a timeless tale. I always enjoy, specially with Shakespears works, seeing the story conveyed from an alternate perspective. I think Friar provides guidance and did precipitate the events that follow, but I feel the only characters that should be held accountable are the heads of the two opposing families as their hate is the force that creates the barriers between the star crossd lovers. save a creative and strong arguement. :)
I never would have thought of it that way. But now that you mention it, it really IS kind of his fault. Bravo!
THIS hotshot IS WHAT I CAN NOT SAY I LIKE.MAY BE I LOVE IT,SO WHOSE FAULT IS IT? I THINK IT IS HIS FAULT.CHEERS!
