Was it wise of Friar Lawrence to give the potion to Juliet? Why or why not?
I think that if the plan had worked, it would have been good. But it just didn't work because of luck. At the time, it seemed like the good thing to do, but it didn't work out in the long run. If he hadn't have given her the potion, she might've committed suicide or something.
Do you think that The Tragedy of Romeo and Juliet is really a tragedy? Explain your response.
Yeah, I do. The main characters both committed suicide for each other, I guess, so that makes it sadder. It may have resolved the feud between the Capulets and Montagues, but it sill is a tragedy.
Who was ultimately responsible for all of the death that occurred in the play? Why?
I think that nobody was completely responsible. Like the play said, everyone contributed to it somehow. The Prince didn't discipline them severely enough, Mercutio picked a fight with Tybalt, which led to them both dying, and the Friar was too hasty. I think you can blame fate and the feud between the two families.
