Romeo and Juliet, “a pair of star-crossed lovers who take their life;” a destined love story, the magic between the couple is still told after hundreds of years. The sacred love story is told in many verses, however, the feelings between the couple has stayed the same and has always been majestic. The ending of Romeo and Juliet has never changed; who is to blame for the demise of Romeo and Juliet? Though many characters have played a role in Romeo and Juliet, the madness of Romeo and Juliet’s love. Has backfired and have taken the lives of Romeo and Juliet themselves. Romeo’s easy love a lust for Juliet boomeranged. Friar Lawrence played a big role, he gave Romeo and Juliet guidance, that wasn’t helpful. Friar Lawrence was the adviser to Romeo and Juliet. He kept their secret and helped them be together. The feud between the families played a vital role in the deaths of Romeo and Juliet, Romeo and Juliet could of been normal teens in love and could have gotten married, if it wasn’t for the feud.

Friar Lawrence, a priest, meant to give helpful advice and guidance to Romeo and Juliet. Romeo went to Friar Lawrence for guidance, however, Friar has something else in his mind; his ability to guide people went to nothing. At the end of the whole story. Friar had an idea that if the house of Capulet and Montague join together, the feud will end, however, in ended in the deaths of Romeo and Juliet. Also he was the one who came up with the idea of giving Juliet the potion to put her in a come like state for 42 hours. He wrote a letter to Romeo, explaining the plan, but the letter never reaches Romeo. After the two of them die, the Friar leaves so his plan is never found out. The Friar thinks that "...this alliance may so happy prove. To turn your households' feud to pure love." This shows that the Friar has a slight hope of their marriage possibly working. Therefore, he decides to marry the two lovers. However, as time moves on, the Friar lets on that he has regrets about the marriage. The Friar feels that "too swift arrives as tardy as too slow."  In other words, the Friar means that he senses that this whole wedding is happening too fast and starts to have second thoughts. If the Friar had thought this important decision clearly through, he may have prevented many future tragedies. Romeo soon takes his own life; all the while, Friar Lawrence is the sole individual who knows that Juliet is indeed alive. Lawrence’s half‐hearted attempt to inform Romeo of Juliet’s plan, which involved sending Friar John with a letter to Romeo that did not reach him prior to her death demonstrates extreme lack of poor communication. Lawrence just got upset and decided to send the letter once again then went to the Capulet’s tomb. He could have sent someone else from city instead of waiting for Juliet to wake up.
