Romeo has completely forgotten about Rosaline, and now has focused his love onto Juliet. The Friar agrees with Romeo. Friar Laurence's decision is irresponsible because he agrees with the idea of members of opposite noble families being married. By marrying Romeo and Juliet, Friar is acting like Lord

This play is known as one of the greatest love stories of alltime. It conveys passion, love, loyalty and the violence that can surround a forbidden love; a lovethat was helped along by the secondary character I have chosen, Friar Laurence. Secondarycharacters as the only religious character in the play he was responsible for marrying Romeo andJuliet, giving them advice, sneaking them to see each other and he also provided the sleepingpotion to them. Without Friar Laurence the play would have had a very different outcome. I would say the biggest affect Friar Laurence had on the outcome of the play was thepotion he gave to

    When Romeo first lays eyes on the stunning Juliet at Capulet’s party, he claims that she is the love of his life even though he has only seen her for a swift moment and has not actually talked to her yet.

What Friar Lawrence meant was, Romeo was acting quite hasty in consideration

Oh my dear Juliet, how could you leave me so satisfied this night by filling my heart with love and hope. Your beauty is as if formed by God himself, such perfection that neither the sun nor moon could ever compare, not even together. You brought light into my dark life, you are my angel, my savior, my everything, that such words are insufficient to describe my gratitude. The excitement that I feel every time I see you, is so huge that even Venus would be jealous because she doesn’t have this type of love; passionate, truthful, sensitive, and so bright that it could be confused by a galaxy star.

Because of Romeos inability to know what or who he wants, he’s not mature enough to get married or

David was not the only artist to be fascinated and inspired by historic suicides. Suicide is not an uncommon subject of paintings, or any of the arts for that matter. On the contrary, suicide can be glorified to a certain extent, in the way that a novel or film can romanticize the act without the brutality or consequences being addressed. Suicide can appear heroic in the face of a evil. It can appear to be a triumphant escape from a cruel world. Suicide can even look romantic when portrayed as the conclusion to a love story, like in Romeo and Juliet, a masterpiece by the beloved William Shakespeare.
