Friar Lawrence is very good intentioned, means well to others, and he marries Romeo and Juliet. He is kindhearted and helps Romeo and Juliet whenever possible. He is a figure of religion, but unlike most plays at the time, he portrays a good character.

He is a scheming man, and weds Romeo and Juliet so he can end the civil batles in Verona

He has much wisdom. He is smart, as well. He is very old, so he has gained much knowledge from his life and career as a Catholic man. He believes that marrying Romeo and Juliet will end the feuding among the two social groups. He seems to be kind and benevolent, as well. __Weakness of the character__

He is a very rash impulsive man in the sense that he does not think everything through he just does things, like the potion. (Jason Fromal) His weekness is that he may not always think of all the consequences. (Harrison Butker) For instance when he weds Romeo and Juliet and also gives Juliet the sleeping potion, he doesn't think about how much trouble he could get into. (Harrison Butker)

He is a scheming man, and weds Romeo and Juliet so he can end the civil batles in Verona

When he first walks onstage, he gives a large speech that makes several references to the theme of plants. "With baleful weeds and precious-juiced flower, the earth that's nature's mother...In plants, herbs, stones..." Act2, Scene 3, lines 8-16 __Essential question(s) for that character (i.e., what would //you// ask them?)__

Why are you helping Romeo and Juliet, is it to make yourself look better that you got a Montague and a Capulet to marry each other? (Jason Fromal)

Did you ever think about what would happen if people found out that you helped Romeo and Juliet? (Harrison Butker)

What do you really think about the Romeo and Juliet marraige? Are you just using the Romeo and Juliet marraige?

How do you think the marriage will end the fighting?
