Romeo And Juliet Friar Character Analysis
First off, the Friar would love to watch the Earth revolve around sun if he could. Friar believes they should slow down and take things easy. Friar wants them to take it easy and not rush this. In Act 2 Scene 3 Romeo goes to him and asks him if he could marry Juliet and him since he is a priest. The Friar feels that Romeo still has feelings for Rosaline whom he loved just a few days ago as he says “Young men’s love then lies / not truly in their hearts, but in their eyes.” (2.3.66-67) He does not want Romeo to break Juliet’s heart if he loves Rosaline as he says “If e'er thou wast thyself and these woes thine, / Thou and these woes were all for Rosaline.” (2.3.77-78). Romeo convinces him that he does have feelings for her. The Friar is dealt
with a tough choice because they Romeo and Juliet both are in love as we see here “Then plainly know my heart’s dear love is set / On the fair daughter of rich Capulet.” (2.3 57-58) He ends up marrying the two and their situation spirals out of control. He did the right thing by being patience because he did not want the feud to grow, but his decisions turn into a consequence because Romeo becomes exiled and then their plan fails which leads to their deaths. It ends that the situation became too big for younglings to handle.
