Friar Laurence Interview

1. Q: What do you think about Romeo and Juliet getting married?

A: I think that this is a crazy idea because I thought that Romeo was in love with Rosaline and Juliet came up out of nowhere. I do approve this marriage. It was love at first sight. I think that the marriage of a Capulet and a Montague that are truly in love will put an end to this feud between the families.

2. Q: What is your role in the life of Romeo and Juliet?

A: I would say that I play a big role in the life of Romeo and Juliet. I proposed their marriage and I made plans for them to find ways to see each other.

If only the letter to Romeo telling him about the plan was delivered; Juliet and Romeo would have happily been together in love. Unfortunately this did not happen.

5. Q: Do you think that Romeo and Juliet had anything to offer once there burst of love calmed down?

A: I don’t think much would have happened. I think that the feud of...
