The famous "Romeo and Juliet" by Shakespeare was known for its tragic deaths of a pair of lovers whose family are enemies; however, this tragic could be avoided if only the Friar wasn't involved. Some would disagree with my opinion because the Friar was the person who helped Romeo and Juliet during their crisis, but have you ever thought about why things happened the way they did just because the Friar was there?
Friar Lawrence was a holy pope; he was someone who Romeo and Juliet had trusted and turned to when they were in crisis. The first thing Romeo asked of the Friar was to marry him, and Juliet, except the Friar had refused at first. On the other hand, the Friar then eventually agreed because he wanted to end the enmity between the Capulets and the Montagues. The Friar had succeeded and ended the enmity between the two households but at the cost of many lives. It was a possibility that the Friar was willing to do anything to end the chaos of the two households at any price, so he took advantage of Romeo and Juliet and fulfilled his plan.
If Friar Lawrence were out of the picture in this play, Romeo and Juliet wouldn't have died because there would be no one to help them and make plans that eventually led them to their tragic deaths. Romeo and Juliet would, in time find another way through their problems and solutions that wouldn't have jeopardized their lives.
The personality of the Friar had a lot to do with the lives of Romeo and Juliet. Friar Lawrence was committed to helping the lovers, but all the decisions he made were very desperate and eager, which led to failure. The plans that he made for Romeo and Juliet were all very risky, and he knew that himself, but he still took his chances. If only he had calm down and consider more of what side effects would result from his plans, then maybe the death of Romeo and Juliet weren't necessary.
In my opinion, I think Friar Lawrence was the cause of Romeo and Juli...
