Romeo and Juliet4

s is Friar Laurance’s faulty planning in the fake death of Juliet. Friar Laurance did not thoroughly plan the fake death of Juliet.

The Friar’s carelessness in his actions leads to the suicide of both Romeo and Juliet. The Friar arrives in the tomb to see Juliet awake with Romeo and Paris by her side. “..Come, come away./ Thy husband in thy bosom there lies dead;/ And Paris too. Come, I'll dispose of the...
