An act of dishonesty done in haste can have very unlikely consequences in an individual's life. First, Friar Laurence's dishonesty in choosing to marry Romeo and Juliet without their parents' knowledge or permission causes undesirable consequences. Second, the sudden cessation of support from Juliet's nurse to continue the relationship between Romeo and Juliet harms Juliet's feelings as a young lover and contributes to their fatality. Finally, Romeo's haste to marry Juliet to prove his intentions explains a future full of even more hasty decisions. In Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare, the dishonesty of Friar Laurence and the Nurse and the haste of Romeo and Juliet cause the death of the young lovers. First, the dishonesty of Friar Laurence, who married Romeo and Juliet, foreshadows the likelihood of his continuing to take even more insincere measures in manipulating the consequences faced by the young lovers. The friar does the wrong act of marrying them secretly under the license of the church without showing it in public and encourages them to deceive their parents by keeping their relationship to themselves. He then agrees to marry Juliet and Paris, a county, and plans to fake his death, to avoid the wedding instead of revealing the truth about Romeo and Juliet right away. “I hear you must, and nothing can prolong it, / next Thursday be married to this county.” (4.1.49-50) In short, various incidents in the lives of Romeo and Juliet, controlled by Friar Lawrence's cowardice, result in undesirable circumstances. Second, Juliet's imbecilic nurse plays a non-supportive parental role during Juliet's misery of losing Romeo in ba...... middle of paper ......re his fake corpse is preserved, and drinks the poison he brought with him, hastily, without thinking twice, assuming that Juliet was dead and that he might not be able to live without her. However, Juliet awakens the moment Romeo falls dead into her lap and exclaims, "Poison, I see, was his timeless end" (5.3.167), signifying Romeo's premature death which occurred due to his haste useless. .Romeo and Juliet's suicides reflect their hasty and impulsive decisions as well as the dishonesty of Friar Laurence and the Nurse. Romeo's haste in drinking the poisonous poison, the Friar's cowardice in dealing with the consequences as well as the Nurse's choice to oppose Romeo and Juliet's relationship equally contribute to their fatal end. Therefore, dishonesty and haste can result in undesirable circumstances for any individual.
