Group C Act Five

Madi E. - Friar Lawrence is very worried about things. For example, in Act 5:2 on page 728, Friar Lawrence finds out the letter to Romeo about his plan has not been sent, and he is worried this will cause a problem. Also, in Act 5:3 on page 733, Friar Lawrence just arrived at the tomb and is in fear of what he may find. This is the total opposite of his usual self, because most of the time he is very optimistic. Another example is in Act 5:3 on page 734, when Friar tells Juliet to get out of the tomb and go away because he doesn't want her to see Romeo or Paris dead. I think Friar Lawrence is losing his optimism. :(

Will- Friar Lawrence is out of luck. The friar hatches this great plan, and he does not realize the flaws. in Act 5, the first thing that happens is Romeo does not receive his letter. Next, Romeo beats him to the tomb, and kills himself. Finally, Juliet awakens and kills her self because she finds Romeos dead body. All in all, its just not his day.

Bobby Belser- Friar Lawrence will throw other people under the bus. In Act V scene 3 page 739,after Romeo and Juliet kill themselves, the friar reveals how he married the two lovers. In hoping to avoid or lessen the severe punishment, he tells everyone that the nurse knew everything about Romeo and Juliet as well. The friar was wrong for trying to put the blame on the nurse, because a large reason for the death of Romeo and Juliet was his fault. He should accept his punishment and not put the blame on someone else.

Min - Friar Lawrence is an observant person. In act 5, scene 3, while he is walking through the cemetery, he notices that someone is there. That someone was Balthasar, who is Romeo's servant. All of this is happening in the middle of the night, and that's a challenge because a person's vision at nighttime isn't very clear, especially a person like Friar Lawrence, who is old. Most old people's eyesight aren't perfect. Friar Lawrence notices details very quickly, which makes him observant.

Anna Tran - Friar Lawrence is a very holy person as everybody thinks he is. After Friar Lawrence confesses and tell the whole story to the Prince,the Capulets, and the Montegues, the Prince does not punish him for his involvement with the schemes, because he is a friar. Throughout the play, his intensions were good, but he used Romeo and Juliet because he thought it would end the family grudges and, he also lied frequently to the Capulets.

Tony Ciro- Friar Laurence is a wimpy man. In Act Four, Scene Three, the Friar runs away at the first sign of danger in the graveyard. After making one last, feeble attempt at saving Juliet's wellbeing, he simply flees. After all that he, Romeo, and Juliet had gone through up to that point, all the sacrifices they made, he just couldn't take the final danger. Despite this possibly being the wiser choice, it displays an aspect of cowardice in a man who up until that point, had none.

Christopher Kurtz- Friar Lawrence is a noble man when he is already caught for trying to run away from the Capulet tomb, he owns up to all of the secrets that have been kept from the two families in a rivalry, the Capulets and the Montagues. The Friar was noble because after being a whimp as Tony has explained he confessed to all that has happened to the poor children that have died in this tragedy.
