Group C Act Four

Will- Friar Lawrence, a Person for Comfort- through out the play, Friar Lawrence is a person of comfort to the two lovers separated by fate. 4:1, pg 708- Juliet visits Friar in his cell. she has been utterly lost with out Romeo, and if the Friar can't help her, she plans to kill herself. Luckily rather than actual death, he thinks up a devious plan to trick everyone.... including Romeo.

Tony Ciro- Friar Laurence is a persistent person. In Act Four, this is demonstrated through him continuing with his plans to get Juliet and Romeo together. Obviously failure has no effect on this guy. Despite his plans not working multiple times in the past, he keeps on working at them, and never gives in. In scene five, the Friar even outright lies to the Capulet family about Juliet having died, despite knowing otherwise. Also, Friar demonstrates his nature of never giving up by being one of the last people to stand by Juliet's side during scene one. Laurence is definitely someone who will go to the ends of the Earth for something (or someone) he has committed to.

Anna Tran- Friar Lawrence seems to have a lot of power. In act 4-1 (page 708), Juliet is going to Friar Lawrence because there are problems and things are going badly. Then on page 712, he devises a plan and Juliet has a lot of faith in what he has to say. Also, Juliet follows though with the Friar's plan and drinks the poison. Another thing is the plan he made for Romeo's sake and Romeo also goes along with that plan.

**Madi E. :]** - Friar Lawrence is very good at coming up with plans that are never found out by anyone except himself and the obvious people involved. For example, in Act 4:1 on page 711, Friar tells Juliet his plan for her so she does not have to marry Paris. This plan is obviously never realized by any of the other people in the play, which proved to be very bad. Another plan that Friar had was to send letters to Mantua so Romeo would know the plan (Act 4:1, page 712), but unfortunately, the letters never made it to Romeo. Friar Lawrence's plans are very simple and clever, but the fact that he doesn't tell enough people about it, serves as a bad ending.

Min- Friar Lawrence is a very optimistic person. In act 4, scene 5, he tells the Capulet family and Paris that they should be glad that Juliet is in heaven during Juliet's fake death scene. On page 720, he also says that it's better for Juliet to be in heaven. This shows that Friar Lawrence is extremely optimistic because he can find positive reasons in calamities like death. He always believes that there are positives to every problem.

Bobby Belser- Friar Lawrence needs to have a more than one plan. In Act IV, the friar comes up with an ingenious plan to get Romeo and Juliet back together without having Juliet marry Paris. Unfortunately he does not have ﻿a plan-B just in case some thing ﻿ bad happens. For example in scene 4, Lord Capulet moves the wedding forward a day to Wednesday, which is bad because Juliet is suppose to drink the potion that night. Now the Friar is going to have trouble reaching Romeo and telling him of the plan. If he had come up with a back up plan, Romeo and Juliet would be together and they wouldn't have to improvise.( Mr. Earley, ignore the color change in sentence 3, my computer messed up) 

Christopher Kurtz: Topic: Friar Lawrence and his plans on how to take care of things!!!!!!!! Friar Lawrence in the tradegy of Romeo and Juliet by William Jessup is the spirital advisor for the town of Verona. as we all know in Act four of the story Juliet fakes her death with this liquid that is supposedly not totally killing her but just stopping her breath, heart beat, and any other signs of life!!!! on pages 709-712 in the literature book Juliet is having a lengthy conversation with the Friar. During this conversation the Frair comes up with this plan that is designed to bring Romeo and Juliet back together without Juliet marrying The County Paris. The plan seems illocical to us as a class because now such a liquid does not exist so that would be impossible for people to think that Juliet is dead. Now the plan of Frair Lawrence is just a result of his job, and it is in other words a well thought out plan, but it may not work out as well as he hopes!!!!!!!!
