In the horrifically tragic but ever yet amazing story of Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare, this story starts when two lovers at first sight decide that they will love each other to the ends of the Earth, and die for each other at any time, for the expense of their families' feud. However, a father figure and mentor of the main character Romeo, named Friar Lawrence, committed numerous errors throughout the story, such as marrying Romeo and Juliet to each other in secret, concocting a plan for Juliet to escape to Romeo, and Friar Lawrence failing to send Romeo a letter which notifies him of something very important.
