The character in the play, Romeo and Juliet by Shakespeare, that I think has the largest impact on the audience is probably the Friar. Although the Friar might not have that big of a role, he was the one with the plan that got Romeo and Juliet killed. Some people might say that it was Juliet's fault because she was the one that was so desperate for a plan to get her and Romeo together, the Friar had no choice but to go along. But still, the Friar was the one that came up with a plan. That plan might not have worked for many reasons, but the Friar didn't think ahead.

Hold, then. Go home, be merry, give consent

To marry Paris. Wednesday is tomorrow.

Tomorrow night look that thou lie alone;

Let not the nurse lie with thee in thy chamber.

This part of the plan already might not work. For example, the nurse could insist on sleeping in Juliet's sleeping chambers or Juliet's' parents could insist on it. If this was the matter, Friar should have an excuse that Juliet could use just in case.

Take thou this vial, being then in bed,

And this distilling liquor drink thou off;

When presently through all thy veins shall run

In this part, Friar is telling Juliet that when Paris comes in the morning to wake her up, he'll find her dead and then, like all people when dead, she'll be dressed in robes and displayed for mourners. This is very smart of the Friar because the Capulets do not bury their dead but lay them in a family tomb. But once again, if she wakes up before all her mourners leave, his plan will be ruined. In this case, he should make a back-up plan.

Now, when the bridegroom in the morning comes

The reader learns through this plan that the Friar does want to help Romeo and Juliet, just not as much as they think he does. They're too much in love, blinded my love, to realize it. So really, the Friar is putting both Romeo and Juliet's lives in jeopardy because he doesn't take the time to muse over the plan.

To rouse thee from thy bed, there art thou dead.

Shall, stiff and stark and cold, appear like death;

If not inconstant toy nor womanish fear

To wanny ashes, thy eyes' windows fall

Thou shalt continue two-and-forty hours,

Then, as the manner of our country is,
