The Role of Friar Lawrence in William Shakespeares Romeo and Juliet Es

The Role of friar Lawrence in William Shakespeares Romeo and Juliet When we first meet Friar Lawrence (), he appears to be picking flowers and herbs. He shows us he has a deeper understanding of the characteristics of herbs and how everything has a good and bad side Within the infant rind of this weak flower poisonous substance hath residence and medecine power. This also relates to the families of Romeo and Juliet. It dramatically hints about the bad things to come such as the death of one of the family members. The audience develops the idea of Friar Lawrence performing as a father to Romeo Good morrow, father. The noun father indicates how close the relationship between them is and how he goes beyond his role of being a Friar. I think that this isnt right act of Friar and it might lead to trouble. He also seems to be able to judge people Our Romeo hath not been in bed to-night. This makes the Friar seem to have special abilities, wh ich may help in later events. I think that Friar Lawrence is not to condemn, this far into the play beca employ he is acting out of his own good will. When Romeo tells Friar Lawrence about his love towards Juliet, he is shocked Holy Saint Francis what a change is here In the analogous speech that he delivers this line, he changes his mind into thinking it is a good idea To turn your households rancour to pure love. The noun rancour shows how much the two families detest each other. We get the impression that Friar Lawrence is nave and that his plans are spontaneous. He is not aware of the consequences of marrying Romeo and Juliet. We also see... ... the tragic death of Romeo and Juliet I am the superior able to do least, Yet most suspected, as the time and place Doth make against me, of this direful murder And here I stand, both to impeach and purge, Myself condemned and myself excused. He pleads guilty but at the same time innocent. We thin k that he tries to make the Prince feel sorry for him and it works in the end We have distillery known thee for a holy man. Overall we see that the play rotates around Friar Lawrence and that he is an agent of the drama. From my point of view, I think that Friar Lawrence is to blame because despite his honorable intentions, he could have done something to stop the tragedy from happening. Friar Lawrences character changes dramatically as well as his use of language and dramatic significance.
