Host: How do you think the plan worked out? Was it successful or not?
Friar Lawrence: Honestly, the plan was a total bust. Romeo is dead, Juliet is dead, I'm in trouble, and chaos is alive and well in Verona. I don't know how this all could've gone terribly south the way it did.
Host: How did Romeo not manage to receive your letter to him?
Friar Lawrence: Well, I'm quite disappointed that I wasn't able to deliver it to him in Mantua. It was all because the town was so worried about the plague and having it spread that I wasn't even allowed to enter. If Romeo receives the letter and knows what's going on with Juliet, the two of them would be alive and well today.
Host: Who is to blame for this terrible chain events leading to the deaths of Romeo and Juliet?
Friar Lawrence: One thing I will admit is that this plan wasn't planned out very well. It wasn't clearly thought through, as everyone is dead. Romeo should've gotten the note, Juliet should've woken up to the delight of him, and peace should be present in Verona. But this didn't happen, and I guess that falls back on me. It might've helped if Romeo hadn't been so dramatic and drank the potion, or if Juliet had run away with me after his death so that neither of us would've been caught. But, it is what it is, and now our lives here will never be the same again, always remembering the tragedy of Romeo and Juliet.
I agree with how you wrote Friar Lawrence's responses to the questions.
ReplyDeleteI like how you developed Friar Lawrence's thoughts and feelings into a good quality interview. You provide a lot of insight into what the Friar was thinking and what went wrong.
