However, his image dwindles by the end of the play. In contrast, although Romeo and Juliet are immature at the beginning of the play, they grow through their trials and tribulations, and achieve an image of tragic hero at the end of the play: the audience are awe-struck when we see Juliet challenge Fate and conssumate their marriage by stabbing herself and falling on Romeo’s body. Quite different from the lovers, the Friar flinches from facing his full responsibility when he confesses the way he contributed to their death. Lawrence’s words “to the marriage / Her nurse is privy” shows his unconscious intention to place part of his responsibility on the nurse, and by the effect of contrast his human weakness heightens the heroic image of Romeo and Juliet at the end of the play.}, pages = {79--95}, title = {To the Marriage Her Nurse is Privy : Romeo and Julietについての一考察}, volume = {4}, year = {1999} }
