Romeo & Juliet.
|
|
|
|
Romeo and Juliet is one of Shakespeare's plays about tragedy. It is
|
|
about two lovers who commit suicide when their feuding famillies prevent
|
|
them from being together. The play has many characters, each with its own
|
|
role in keeping the plot line. Some characters have very little to do with
|
|
the plot but some have the plot revolving around them. Friar Lawrence does
|
|
not have very much time on stage but the time he does have is crucial to
|
|
the plot line. Through his words Friar Lawrence demonstrates the he is a
|
|
good intentioned, yet sometimes short-sighted, man who is not afraid to
|
|
take risks to help others
|
|
|
|
One of Friar Lawrences most favourable traits is how good intentioned
|
|
he is. He may do something out of the ordinary if he thinks the outcome
|
|
will help someone he cares for. For example, when he says "In one respect
|
|
I'll thy assistant be; for this alliance may so happy prove, to turn your
|
|
households rancour to pure love."(Act 2, Scene 3), he is saying that the
|
|
only reason he will marry Romeo and Juliet is because he hopes that the
|
|
marriage will end the hostilities between the two houses. When he says
|
|
"Shall Romeo by my letters know our drift, and hither shall he come; and he
|
|
and I shall watch thy waking, and that very night shall Romeo bear thee to
|
|
Mantua." (Act 4, Scene 1), he tells Juliet how everything will be all
|
|
right. Unfortunately, for all his good intentions the play still ends in
|
|
tragedy.
|
|
|
|
Friar Lawrence is a man who is not afraid to take risks when he feels
|
|
it is neccesary to help someone. For example in Act 2, Scene 6, when he
|
|
marries Romeo and Juliet, he is risking his reputation as a Friar so he can
|
|
help the two lovers. Also, when he says "Take thou this vial, being then
|
|
in bed, and this distilled liquor drink though off;" (Act 4, Scene 1), he
|
|
is suggesting that Juliet drink a potion so that she might feighn her own
|
|
death and avoid marrying Paris. This is an extremely risky thing to do
|
|
because anything might happen to Juliet while she unconscious.
|
|
|
|
Even after all Friar did to help Romeo and Juliet the play still ended
|
|
in tragedy because of Friar Lawrences' short sightedness. When the Friar
|
|
married Romeo Juliet in secrecy, he did not think of all the complications
|
|
that would arise but instead went on with the marriage because at that time
|
|
he thought it was the right thing to do. In Act 4, Scene 1, he gave Juliet
|
|
a sleeping potion without thinking of the possible outcomes of such an
|
|
outrages plan. He admits that much of the fault of the tragedy lies in his
|
|
hands when he says "And her I stand both to impeach and purge myself
|
|
condemned and myself excused", and when he say "Her nurse is privy; and,
|
|
if aught in this miscarried by myself..." (Act 5, Scene 3).
|
|
|
|
Although Friar Lawrence does not have an especially large role, his
|
|
role is none the less important. It is because of his good intentions that
|
|
he was willing to help his friends that Romeo and Juliet were married - a
|
|
key event in the play. It is because of his willingness to take risks for
|
|
his friends that Juliet aqquired the sleeping potion - another key event in
|
|
the play. Finally, it was the shortsightedness of his actions that in part
|
|
led to the deaths of the two lead characters. This demonstartes that Friar
|
|
Lawrence was a man who was a man with good intentions who was willing to
|
|
take risks to help his frieneds. If he had been any other way, the play
|
|
might not have turned out the way it did.
