What do you think?

this is for my finals. its about how i think the friar is the wisest person and what my reason is. do i need to change anything? or should i leave it?





The wisest person in Romeo and Juliet is the Friar. This can be seen when Juliet is crying about having to marry Paris in scene 4.1. In this scene, Juliet goes to the Friar for sympathy and help. The Friar remembers something about how flowers can be used for good or evil. To him Romeo and Juliet are like flowers, mixing them together would be using them for good. Their Medicine is the families would stop fighting. From this scene it’s obvious that the Friar stops and analyzes everything he does. No one else in the play does they ust go about and dont think about the concequnces.

What do you think?
i think you're right. the friar forsees events such as to uniting the 2 families together. he is like the connection between romeo and juliet. Another side of looking at the friar in a negative wise way would be he is the wisest because it would seem that he set up the whole play. if you think about it, he sets up the connection of the family and romeo and juliet, which led to the murder, and then to the suicide.
