Question

In what ways besides the friar’s plan, might Romeo and Juliet have dealt with the problem of banishment?

Answer 1

Juliet could have just run away to be with Romeo. This would cause many problems, but they would at least be together and know they're both alive. Also, the Friar could have just told the families about their marriage and even though people would be angry, they at least would start to understand why they were acting the way they were.
