ROMEO & JULIET ACT 5 SCENE 2
BY: ANTHONY PRASHAD
SUMMARY OF ACT 5 SCENE 2
Friar Lawrence spoke to Friar john about what Romeo thought about his plan to give Juliet a potion that would "kill" her until Friday. Friar John was unable to get the message to Romeo because he was suspected of having the plague and was forbidden from leaving Verona in order to prevent other people from getting it. As a result, Friar Laurence had to create another plan. First Friar John would get Friar Lawrence a crow bar so that he could get into Juliet's tomb. Once Juliet wakes up in three hours, Friar L. would keep her at his cell, until Romeo arrived. Finally he would send a message to Romeo telling him where they were.
THE CHARACTERS
Friar Lawrence
Friar Lawrence, who is a holy man, was Romeo's guide/mentor. He helped Juliet and Romeo get married and created a series of plans in-order to help them be together. Friar Lawrence isn't very clever because even though he knew that something bad would come out of Romeo and Juliet getting married, he still married them anyways. the reason why was because he believe that the marriage would bring the feud between both Capulet and Montague to a close.
Friar John
Friar John was the person Friar Lawrence chose to send the message to Romeo about his plan with Juliet to fake her death. Due to the fact that he was suspected of having the plague, he was unable to leave mantua.
WHY THIS SONG
I chose this song because it talks about how friend help friend that our in trouble. Friar Lawrence has been a friend to Juliet and Romeo by creating plans to help keep them together. He was wilingl to even break the law in-order to help them. Friar was more of a guide then a friend, but they both share similar roles
