Friar Lawrence Monologue

Friar Lawrence, murder, a man foiled by fate, or just not that smart? In Romeo and Juliet, by William Shakespeare, there was a Friar which Romeo and Juliet went to for most of their problems regarding their love. This Friar is a philosophical man and extremely knowledgeable with plants. He marries Romeo and Juliet without their parents blessing or constant, makes a plan for Romeo after he is banished, and makes an elaborate plan for Juliet not to marry County Paris but runaway with Romeo. As people can see he tries to help.

In Romeo and Juliet, a story where two lovers are destined to be together, but their heritage prevents them, Friar Lawrence and The Nurse are similar to fathers and mothers, wise guardians, trusted companions to these two. Or are they reckless, hasty, and thoughtless? They have spent their lives with Romeo and Juliet, watching them grow and guiding them along their paths of life. But now they allow these “star-crossed lovers” to

Supporting the Friar’s dismal assessment of Romeo is the Nurse. I will direct her to be the funny character in the scene, her face underlining how ridiculous Romeo appears, bawling like a woman on the floor. She even looks appalled as she asks Rome to stand up and be a man, instead of blubbering on the floor. Still, as the Nurse describes Juliet's misery, she would exude deep concern like a mother would. Her face depicts that if there is anyone who loves Juliet as much as Romeo, it is her for she is similar to a mother who cares only for her child's happiness and nothing

Greenville. Even the name sounds innocent. Or at least innocent enough to fool people. But look a bit closer, everything isn't as it seems. And if you look close enough you can see the demons hiding in the shadows.

In the Second Act Friar Lawrence mumbled “These violent delights have violent ends. And in their triumph die”(II.VI.5-10). Friar Lawrence is the main influence on Romeo and Juliet's death because he had them marry too quickly, he also came up with the plan to fake poison Juliet. Because Friar Lawrence did not ensure Romeo knew the poisoning was fake, the distraught Romeo killed himself, and Juliet followed by killing herself.

kill herself if I did not help her. So I gave her this potion, the

I need some advice about my family situations and how I can deal with the problem that i have about loving who. I love 2 people but I don’t know which one is better for me. Their names are jamarcus, he's a montague and Isaac, he is Capulet. My Nurse, well you see I don’t want her to know about these boys because I’m afraid that she will spread rumors to everyone in this town.

William Shakespeare's famous tragedy, Romeo and Juliet, follows two star-crossed lovers in fair Verona. Their families engage in a bitter feud and cause the lovers to marry in secret, gaining the help of Friar Lawrence and Juliet's nurse. They later find out that “violent delights have violent ends” when Romeo is banished from Verona as the outcome of a terrible quarrel (II.vi.9). The nurse encourages Juliet to marry Romeo but in fear that Juliet may never see Romeo again, the nurse thinks it’s best for Juliet to marry the person her father thinks is her first marriage, the County Paris. When Juliet refuses the marry Paris, Lord Capulet becomes enraged and threatens to throw her out.

Even though he was not actually on stage for most of the play, he was the most important character in the play. There was basically three major parts that lead to the tragedy; marriage, the plan and the deaths. In all three of these parts Friar Lawrence played a vital role. His attempts to make the marriage of Romeo and Juliet was very admirable but were poorly planned. It these attempts that make his role the most significant one in the play. This is why Friar Lawrence is the most powerful character in the play.

In Act 2 scene 3 of The Tragedy of Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare, Friar Lawrence delivers a speech before marrying Romeo and Juliet which seems to have a very negative connotation. This soliloquy may not seem to have anything to do with Romeo and Juliet’s marriage, but it foreshadows the remainder of the play. The Friar discusses the power of earth's beauty and how it can be used in both good and evil ways. The Friar also indicates that great power can overwhelm humans, causing destruction to the lives of others.

I knew of Romeo and Juliet’s relationship before their deaths took place. Romeo entrusted me with his secret and asked me to bring a rope ladder to Juliet’s nurse. This rope ladder would help Romeo sneak into the Capulet house to meet with Juliet. I was surprised about their relationship at first, but I knew that Romeo sincerely had his heart set on Juliet and nothing could change that. I was completely willing to follow all of my master’s orders and keep his secret because I saw how much joy Juliet brought to him.

Friar Lawrence is a character in William Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet that served as a mentor for Romeo and Juliet, the two star-crossed lovebirds. He served as a mentor and a friend throughout the entire play, and because of it, his life was forever changed. In the beginning of the story, we meet the friar and can see that he is a happy go lucky guy, frollicking through the fields and giving advice to Romeo. However, the friar has to deal with quite a bit more than a two lovestruck teens, and it changes him for the worse. By the end of Act V, all of the drama that had taken place had taken it’s toll on Friar Lawrence and he was very upset and seemed to have been broken by the events of the week. The first time that we hear him speak,

The Nurse concedes this proposal because of her motherly affection towards Juliet, as it is in her best interest and desires to witness Juliet wed with a genuine love rather than an arranged agreement. Although this can be seen as an congenial gesture, it completely rescinds the social discourses of the time, consequently justifying that the Nurse is not a great advisor unlike the Friar. The first exposure to the Friar shows his careful, wise manner and his obvious care for Romeo’s best interests rather than his own satisfactions. This characterization of Friar Laurence is greatly flawed due to his impetuous thinking when put under the pressure of having two teens approach him with the intention of killing themselves, as he attempts to guide Romeo and Juliet during their struggles. Shakespeare laminates the Friar with fault as he is arguably the incentive, along with the nurse for Romeo and Juliet's cessation, hence becoming the rationale of their declivity.
