As a Franciscan Priest, Friar Lawrence was a respected and a holy figure that delivered the message of god for advice. However, his respect faded with the tragic death of the two star-crossed lovers, Romeo and Juliet. Friar had long had a role of a “father” and an advisor to Romeo. He carefully listened to Romeo’s thoughts and stories and guided him through a way in which he himself believed was the “right” path. When the naïve Romeo desired for love with Juliet who was a rival to his family, Friar unknowingly suggested the deadly scheme. Thus from his actions, it can be concluded that Friar Lawrence is an imprudent man with a good deed.

“A pack of blessings light upon thy back”, Friar Lawrence speaks to Romeo. The following quote indicates the optimistic thought of Friar Lawrence about Romeo’s banishment. In the play //Romeo and Juliet//, Shakespeare portrays Friar Lawrence as a kindhearted, optimistic, and a caring man. Friar Lawrence shows much faith in god and nature, as he is devoted to religion. On the other hand, he is rather an ambiguous figure.
