Answer:

It was Friar Lawrence's idea to give Juliet the sleeping potion. He planned to communicate this to Romeo via Friar John. However, Friar John was in quarantine and never was able to deliver this message to Romeo. As a result, Romeo is distraught at the sight of the supposedly "dead" Juliet and kills himself. Therefore, Friar Lawrence is often blamed for Romeo's death due to his poor planning.

Friar Laurence was responsible for the deaths of Romeo and Juliet because he married Romeo and Juliet, he was afraid of committing a sin, and because of his faulty plan for saving Juliet from a marriage to Paris.

Friar Lawrence causes the deaths of Romeo and Juliet by marrying them too quickly, advancing with his plan too quickly, and running away instead of helping Juliet

Hopefully one of these helps you.
