Question

Moral Decision: Do you think Friar Laurence has made a sound, moral decision by setting his "plan" in motion? Why or why not? (You MUST justify your answer!) Morals are ideas about people's behavior, of what is right and what is wrong.

Answer 1

This question is about "Romeo and J *"

Answer:

Frei Laurence did not make a solid moral decision when he set his "plan" in motion.

Explanation:

Frei Laurence's plan was to help J * pretend to be dead, so that she could escape from her family (who wanted to marry her) and meet with Romeo, so that they would run away somewhere and live together. The plan included warning Romeo about J * 'death' and telling him to meet with her. As you already know, this plan went wrong which resulted in the death of Romeo and J *.

Regarding Frei Laurence's plan, we can say that this plan did not have an admissible moral decision, since Frei encouraged a teenager like J * to lie to her family, instead of explaining the whole situation that was happening. Although J *'s family might be angry, they would have to accept the marriage to Romeo, which was already done.

In Romeo and J *, Shakespeare showed that the characters made many wrong decisions and were not based on the moral values ​​necessary to solve problems that could be solved with a simple dialog.
