Blog Post #6 Fate of Friar Lawrence

The feud was over and everyone was happy, especially Friar Lawrence because he had gotten away clean with attempting to help Romeo and Juliet escape. He shows this deep expression when he says "But that relief wouldn't last long because sooner or later someone would find the letter that told Romeo about the potion Juliet drank and how he was going to take her to Mantua. Five days after the funeral and the golden monument had been put up, some one did find it. The note had been blowing around in the wind when it blew right to Lord Capulet's servant. He brought the letter back to show him of this shocking news. When Lord Capulet saw this message he was very angry at Friar Lawrence for giving his daughter a potion to fake her death and cancel the wedding so that Romeo could take her away to Mantua. In this madness, Capulet marched over to the Montague house and had a long arguement over whether Montague knew about this. Capulet ended up killing Montague in his chair with a sword in his throat. Next stop was Friar Lawrence. Capulet didn't care if he was sorry, he was going to kill him anyway. Once he got to the friars house, he rammed the door open and surprisingly found no one in the house. He wondered where he could have gone. He walked out and at his first glance to the right, there he was. Runnig over the hills as fast as he could. Capulet rounded up three men with horses to go kill him. When they caught up with the runner, friar turned with two swords at hand. As they rode by, friar speared two of them with the swords and threw a dagger at the other. They all died there, with friar taking a horse. Capulet got a horse and rode after him and started a hot pursuit. Friar Lawrence jumped from his horse at Capulet and took him off of his horse too. There they lie on the ground when Capulet stands up and pulls a sword from his sheath.
"I cant beleive you let my daughter take a potion so that ugly Romeo could marry her!"
"I didn't!"
"Well, that wont matter anymore," he says whil puling the sword to his head.
With one swoop, the head of Friar Lawrence comes off and rolls down the hill.
