Juliet’s death was mainly caused by Friar Lawrence. He panicked when everything when wrong, and he came up with a plan that was rushed, and it failed terribly. __Comments:__ What else caused Juliet's death? explain more. (zander)
 * __Thesis Statement:__**


 * __Body Paragraph 1:__**

Friar Lawrence is a good character throughout the play, but at the end he falls apart and comes up with his crazy plan. “Now I must to the monument alone, within this three hours will fair Juliet awake. She will beshrew me much that Romeo hath had no notice of these accidents; But I will write again to Mantua, and keep her at my cell till Romeo come, poor living corse, closed in a dead man’s tomb!” This is a quote from Friar Lawrence and it shows how he knows at the end that he messed up but he doesn’t do anything about it, he just leaves Juliet, the poor little thirteen year old girl to kill herself. __Comments:__ Isn't this quote when he is walking to the tomb to pick up juliet? Also, you need another quote. (zander)

Friar Lawrence then starts admitting he was crazy, but he’s pretty calm and seem s to be losing his mind. He doesn’t know what to do, so he starts going crazy. “Thy husband in thy bosom there lies dead; and Paris too.” That is what he says to Juliet because he doesn’t really know what to say, so he just kind of talks to her, then later he leaves her to die. However, he starts trying to blame fate for his own mistake. “A greater power than we can contradict hath thwarted out intents.” That’s what he tells Juliet when he tries to blame fate; however she makes the choice to kill herself.
 * __Body Paragraph 2:__**

__Comments:__ The second sentence seems a bit strange after the first one. Isn't this paragraph's argument very similar to the first one? (zander)

Friar Lawrence isn’t punished in the play for all that he did, but I think he will be it just doesn’t show in the play, because the prince has a good quote that shows this point. “A glooming peace this morning with is brings, the sun for sorrow will not show his head. Go hence to have more talk of these sad things; some shall be pardoned, and some punished: for never was a story of more woe than this of Juliet and her Romeo.” That’s what the prince says about the whole situation, but I think that he means that Friar Lawrence will be one of the punished ones. __Comments:__ This doesn't relate to friar lawrence causing Juliet's death. (zander)
 * Body Paragraph 3:**

Juliet’s death was mainly caused by Friar Lawrence. He panicked when everything when wrong, and he came up with a plan that was rushed, and it failed terribly. Friar Lawrence has no intention of hurting Juliet, but it ends up being his fault that she died. She died because of his rushed, crazy plan, and this plan killed Romeo too.
 * __Intro:__**

__Comments:__ elaborate more, this seems vague. (zander)

Overall, I think that not only Juliet’s death, but also Romeo’s death are Friar Lawrence’s faults. He is the main cause anyway. I also think that there are some more causes, like obviously Romeo’s and Juliet’s deaths are they’re own faults, because they killed themselves. But they wouldn’t have killed themselves if not for Friar Lawrence’s crazy plan so in the end it all leads up to Friar Lawrence.
 * __Conclusion:__**

__Comments:__ GREAT ESSAY You contradict yourself by saying it is R&J's fault but then saying it is actually Friar Lawrence's fault. (zander) Period 2 Home Page
