I agree with you completely. If Friar had just not tried to solve the solution by using a potion to put Juliet into a coma, then Romeo would not have felt as if he needed to kill himself to be with Romeo.
I agree that Friar Lawrence was a big factor in their death, but you can't excuse that it was them that killed themselves.
I agree, he risked both of the families safety on a 50/50 chance of peace. He took it into his own hands and only saw his pipe dream of peace, but failed to truly evaluate all possibilities including consequences that proved to be fatal.
I completely agree with this because Friar Lawrence was the person that supported their love and married Romeo and Juliet. I mean even though it might have created peace in the end, Romeo and Juliet's lives were sacrificed for it. Also, he gave the poison to Juliet and on top of that his message for Romeo about the plan was not delivered. I don't think he thought about his plan very good.
I agree with you because Friar Lawrence was the one who helped Romeo and Juliet be together. He supported what they were doing and helped them hide it, too. He married them in secret, which was a pretty big mistake considering the aftermath. He also gave Juliet the potion, not telling Romeo. This resulted in Romeo killing himself too soon. If maybe Friar had been there to stop Romeo, neither of them would have died.
Yeah, this is basically what I was thinking.
I absolutely disagree with the idea of putting Friar Lawrence at fault for the murders. Friar Lawrence was simply trying to help them from their troubles by aiding them in an escape. The plan was going smoothly, until Romeo murdered himself because he wasn't aware of the plan. The Friar never intended pain upon anyone and if Juliet didn't want to do the plan, she could've rejected the idea. Therefore, the Friar was trying to support their relationship, wishing no murder.
I sort of disagree with the idea that Friar Lawrence is to blame for Romeo and Juliet's deaths. I mean, after all, Friar Lawrence only did all this thinking that it was going to help end the feuding between the Montagues and the Capulets. And, it was Romeo and Juliet who asked and wanted the friar's help, anyways. If anything, it is either Romeo and Juliet's fault for their death or the feuding between their families' fault.
There is no denying the tragic outcome of Friar Lawrence's actions. Despite his noble intentions for peace, his actions turned reckless. By marrying Romeo and Juliet, he unknowingly added fuel to the fire of their families' feud. With his plan for reunion shrouded in secrecy and relying on a questionable potion, his actions reeked of desperation. To make matters worse, his reliance on a single, unreliable messenger proved to be his final and fatal miscalculation. Friar Lawrence's actions, though well-intentioned, ultimately paved the way for the heartbreaking demise of the young lovers.
