Friar Laurence

Friar Laurence is a fictional character in William Shakespeare's play ''Romeo and Juliet''.
==Role in the play==
Friar Laurence is a friar who plays the part of a wise adviser to Romeo and Juliet, along with aiding in major plot developments.
Alone, he foreshadows the later, tragic events of the play with his soliloquy about plants and their similarities to humans.〔Shakespeare: Romeo and Juliet; 2.3.1-22〕 When Romeo requests the Friar marry him to Juliet, he is shocked, because only days before, Romeo had been infatuated with Rosaline,〔Shakespeare: Romeo and Juliet; 2.3.180-81〕 a woman who did not return his love. Nevertheless, Friar Laurence decides to marry Romeo and Juliet in the attempt to stop the civil feud between the Capulets and the Montagues.〔Shakespeare: Romeo and Juliet; 2.3.26-31, 2.3.98-99〕
When Romeo is banished for killing Tybalt and flees to Mantua, Friar Laurence tries to help the two lovers get back together using a potion to fake Juliet's death.〔Shakespeare: Romeo and Juliet; 4.1.69-77, 4.1.91-122〕 The friar sends a letter to Romeo explaining the situation, but it does not reach him because the people of Mantua suspect the messenger came from a house infected with the plague,〔Shakespeare: Romeo and Juliet; 5.2.5-12〕 and the Friar is unable to arrive at the Capulet's monument in time. Romeo kills Count Paris,〔Shakespeare: Romeo and Juliet; 5.2.72-73〕 whom he finds weeping near Juliet's corpse, then commits suicide,〔Shakespeare: Romeo and Juliet; 5.2.119-120〕 by drinking poison that he bought from an impoverished apothecary,〔Shakespeare: Romeo and Juliet; 4.5.66-79〕 over what he thinks is Juliet's dead body. Friar Laurence arrives just as Juliet awakes from her chemically induced slumber.〔Shakespeare: Romeo and Juliet; 5.2.148-50〕 He urges Juliet not to be rash, and to join a society of nuns,〔Shakespeare: Romeo and Juliet; 5.3.156-164〕 but he hears a noise from outside and then flees from the tomb. Juliet then kills herself with Romeo's dagger, completing the tragedy. The Friar is forced to return to the tomb, where he recounts the entire story to Prince Escalus, and all the Montagues and Capulets. As he finishes, the prince proclaims, "We have still known thee for a holy man."
