Frair Lawrence

• Acts as a father figure towards Romeo, and tries to end conflict between the families

  Frair messes up and doesn’t take blame for unintentionally killing Juliet
• “Twenty hundred thousand times more joy”

  • hyperbole suggest friar is being idealistic and not realistic
• “ill dispose of thee among a sister of holy nuns”

  -          After mentioning her husband is dead after just waking up, the friar suggests hiding her in a nunnery this shows he’s a bad authority figure
• “I dare no longer stay”

  -          Selfish reason, doesn’t want to get in trouble

  -          Knows that Juliet would kill herself without Romeo
