Act IV of R&J really has two main things that happen that are crucial to the overall outcome of the play: Scene 1: Juliet ar
rives at the Friar's to be met by Paris, who is busy discussing their wedding plans. She is so desperate that she threatens to kill herself, and the Friar instead suggests that she takes a potion that will make her appear to be dead. He promises to send a message to Romeo, asking him to return secretly and be with Juliet when she wakes, once her 'body' has been taken to the family crypt. (this excerpt is taken from the Royal Shakespeare Company's website). QUESTION: Do you see any flaws in the Friar's plan? Scene 4: Juliet is "dead"! And Friar totally plays along with it and tells the family that she should be buried immediately. QUESTION: Why is it ironic that Friar Lawrence is part of R&J's secret scheme?

Your answer needs to be a minimum of 3 sentences in length and must demonstrate your understanding of what has happened thus far in the play.
In Friar's plan I can only see one main flaw. If every one thought she was dead the chances of her being buried alive are too great of a risk. Also if romeo finds out he won't stay for when she wakes up. However if the Friar can help with these problems like convince people to wait to bury Juliet or talk to romeo so he doesn't do something dumb.
Explanation:
His plan is for her to pretend to be dead with a potion.
