Romeo and Juliet Summative
Connor Houck
What else could the Friar mess up on?
As a result of Friar Laurence marring Romeo and Juliet, he is ultimately is responsible for the death of Romeo and Juliet. The Friar is going behind the families back and is cautious about the idea but eventually gives in. He says "'In one respect I'll thy assistant be .... wisely and slow; they stumble if that run fast''' ( Act 2, Scene 3). This quote is basically saying that you guys don't want to rush into this because it could end badly and come back to me.
As if that isn't enough, it is the Friar's fault is because he is the one who listened to the silly teenager and gave Juliet her potion that made her look died. When she came to Friar panicking and treating to kill herself he said, "'And, if thou darest, I'll give thee remedy....Shall, stiff and stark and cold, appear like death:'' (Act 5, Scene 1). This shows that the Friar is going to let some teenager take advantage of him and cause a big outbreak. That eventually leads to Romeo and Juliet's death.
