Which quote from Romeo and Juliet shows that Friar Laurence is to blame for the deaths of Romeo and Juliet?

Even
thoughwarnsnot to move so quickly with his love for , he marries them anyway. This isnt the only
time that the Friar makes a hasty decision. In fact, the Friar makes several decisions
throughout the course of the play that can be connected to the deaths of- for example, he
supports Romeo in his banishment, he sends a letter to Romeo that Romeo never receives, he
covers up the death of Juliet, he leaves Juliet alone in the tomb, just to name a
few.

However, the one quote that really connects the Friar to their deaths is
in Act IV, Scene I.

Take thou this vial, being then in
bed,

And this distilled liquor drink thou off,

When
presently through all thy veins shall run

A cold and drowsy humor, for no
pulse

Shall keep his native progress, but surcease.

No
warmth, no breath shall testify thou livest.

The roses in thy lips and cheeks
shall fade

To paly ashes, thy eyes windows fall

Like death
when he shuts up the day of life.

Juliet has just learned
thathas died, Romeo is banished, and that she must marryon Thursday. Desperate for a solution or
shell commit suicide, she pleads for the Friar to help her. The Friar then realizes what a mess
this hasty marriage between Romeo and Juliet has caused. In an attempt to cover his tracks, he
comes up with an elaborate plan: Juliet will drink a potion that makes her appear dead so that
she is buried in her familys tomb, and when she wakes up the Friar and Romeo will be waiting for
her so that they can run away together in Mantua. Supposedly, Romeo will hear of all of this
through a letter.

I chose the quote in which Friar hands Juliet the vial of
potion as the quote that is to blame for the deaths of Romeo and Juliet because it is that vial
that causes confusion and suicide. Upon making it to the tomb (without receiving the Friars
letter), Romeo believes that Juliet is in fact dead. This is reason enough for him to commit
suicide and drink the last of the potion. When Juliet wakes up from the potion, she sees Romeo
and uses a sword to kill herself. Without that vial of potion from the Friar, the deaths of
Romeo and Juliet could have been avoided.
