In the play, Romeo and Juliet, by William Shakespeare, there are many life changing events that that Romeo and Juliet must face. One character seen guiding them in most of these scenes is Friar Laurence. He is a very important character that helps many other characters out with their problems.

Friar Lawrence is a priest of Verona. He is the person that married Romeo and juliet. When Juliet tells him that she would rather die than to marry Paris, that had an impact on him so he came up with a plan that was dangerous but if she's desperate enough then she will do it. His plan was for juliet to drink the potion which made her seem dead for two days, when she drinks the potion she is taken to her tomb. When Juliet is seen dead by Balthasar that led to him telling Romeo that she is dead. When Romeo goes to her tomb and sees her “dead” he gets depressed and doesn't want to live without her, this resulted in Romeo killing himself by drinking poison. When Friar Lawrence sees Juliet awake he tries to take her out of the tomb without her seeing…
Throughout the play the Friar goal was to unite the two families and end their feud. The Friar thought if he published showed the relationship between Romeo and Juliet then the two families would accept each other and end their feud but instead the Friar decided to keep the marriage a secret and for that matters went with the complicated way of things. "Holy Saint Francis, what a change is here!" (2.3.65). After getting over his shock of the news, the Friar agrees to marry the two because he believes the marriage will end the feud between the Montague's and the Capulet's. He says, "In one respect I'll thy assistant be,/For this alliance may so happy prove/To turn your households' rancor to pure love" (2.3.97-90). He announced that the marriage…
I believe that Friar Laurence is to blame for the deaths of Romeo and Juliet. Friar Laurence was the one that gave Juliet the potion that made her appear dead, therefore misleading Romeo and causing him to kill himself. Friar Laurence says “Take thou this vial, being then in bed, And this distilled liquor drink thou off; When presently through all thy veins shall run A cold and drowsy humor; no pulse, no warmth, no breath.” When Friar Laurence was figuring out this plan he could had come up with something safer or a backup plan just in case something went wrong. He also should had thought of the pros and cons of this plan before he went through with it because he was faced with a huge problem when the plan could not get through to Romeo and…
Most people would not consider Friar Laurence to be the most important character, what with his many mistakes, sneaky plans, and abused power. But yet, if you look at all his mistakes, and plans combined, he was the one who ultimately ended the feud. Friar Laurence had the most power over both families, being a wise counselor and unbiased in the feud, so he was able to give advice to Romeo and Juliet, who followed blindly. Looking at his role in the play, you see that he was a powerful person, who, by making mistakes, and giving counsel, could stop the hate between two families. He was the one who ended the feud between the Montague and Capulet families, helping them reconcile.…
Friar Lawrence is a very important character in ‘Romeo and Juliet’ because he is the sole figure of religion in the play, allowing us to infer a lot about the role religion played in daily life and Shakespeare’s views on it. In the play, the Nurse addresses the Friar as ‘lord’. This metaphor illustrates how religion was a major part of people’s lives at the time the play was set. When referring to Jesus we would often use the term ‘lord’; the same way that the Nurse refers to the Friar. The fact that a catholic priest has knowledge about poisons capable of faking death is out of place, thus making the reader question why he has this knowledge. The fact that the Friar has devised this plan, which could be described as a cure, if very similar to the way Jesus would help people in biblical times. Another piece of evidence to show this is how Romeo always compares his experiences with Juliet using a religious term. He says he’d like to ‘worship’ her body and refers to her as a ‘saint’ when they first meet in the play. Contrastingly, the Friar uses marriage as a way to help create peace in the city which you would not expect from a priest. Instead, you would expect him to marry them because they love each other and not to use them as a tool to get what he wants. This could show how people had started to lose their faithfulness at the time of the play. During the Renaissance era when ‘Romeo and Juliet’ is set society would have been dominated by Catholicism but this shows that there may have been a little more freedom of speech and thought in society.…
In Shakespeare’s play, Romeo and Juliet, Friar Laurence is responsible for the death of Juliet. In act 4, scene 1, Friar Lawrence displays his absurdity by saying, “If… thou hast the strength of will to slay thyself… take thou this vial… no warmth, no breath shall testify thou livest.” Friar Lawrence’s plan for Juliet is audacious and somewhat irresponsible. These words show the true meaning of irresponsibility, because when he spoke this, her life is in his hands. Further, giving Friar John the letter was another faulty mistake. This mistake of Friar giving the letter to someone else is mindless, and should be dealt directly. In act 5, scene 2, “I could not send it - here it is again”. This quote thoroughly shows Friar’s foolishness, because he trusted a buffoon with the letter instead of delivering it himself. And this foolishness causes Juliet to die in misery.…
At first glance, one may look over the character of Friar Laurence and dismiss him as only a minor player in the story of Romeo and Juliet. However, upon closer examination, it becomes obvious that the Friar plays an essential role in the development of the play and is notable for moving the action along. A Franciscan friar, he is also an expert of plants and natural remedies. At the beginning of the play, we learn that he is very close with Romeo and considers Romeo to be his pupil. Romeo considers Friar Laurence someone he can confide in, and therefore tells him about his newfound love, Juliet, as soon as possible. The Friar, however, is not convinced. He feels that Romeo is very…
Oh! It's Juliet! I wish she knew that I love her. She speaks. but says nothing. How strange. She speaks with her eyes. I'll answer her. No, I'd better not since she isn't aware I’m here.…

Juliet fantasizes about losing her virginity to Romeo. She asks the night to bring her lover back. Juliet's love to him is so strong that she suggests that when she dies he would turn into stars that would make everyone admire the night. "And when I shall die, Take him and cut him out in little stars, And he ill make the face of heaven so fine That all the world will be in love with night And pay no worship to the garish sun."…
If Juliet was provided with the opportunity to send a letter to Romeo, she would write to him about all the subsequent events, after he fled, that led up to her seeking of the Friar. This would include the planned marriage with Paris on Thursday and Capulet’s outrage over her disobedience. In her letter, she would include the details of Friar Laurence’s plan and notify Romeo of her worries regarding the possible outcomes. Given the unexpected series of events which occurred and the chaos that it entailed, Juliet is certainly flustered, heartbroken, worried, and enraged, all at the same time. This excess of negative emotions will surely cause her overall tone to seem desperate and cloud her thinking. She will most definitely assure Romeo of…
