Scrat [10]

Friar Laurence decides to marry Romeo and Juliet in the attempt to stop the civil feud between the Capulets and the Montagues. When Romeo is banished for killing Tybalt and flees to Mantua, Friar Laurence tries to help the two lovers get back together using a potion to fake Juliet's death.It can be said that we see Friar Laurence change with respect to how he acts upon his principles. For instance, it is not clear that he truly believes that Romeo and Juliet genuinely love each other.
