Friar Lawrence

• "wisely and slow, they stumble that run fast"


  • He is advising Romeo to think carefully and wisely about the decision to marry Juliet. This shows that he is wise because he is aware of what could happen.
  • Dramatic irony as the audience is aware that Romeo will 'stumble'
• "Till holy church incorporate two in one"


  • This shows his religious views and that he believe through marriage that the conflict between the two families will end through the eyes of god in Romeo and Juliet's marriage.
