Question

Answer 1

Hello. You did not mention the text to which this question refers, which makes it impossible for it to be answered. However, when searching for your question, I found a question exactly the same as yours that showed that this question is referring to Friar Lawrence who is a character in the play "Romeo and Juliet" written by Shakespeare. So, I hope the answer below can help you.

As you may already know, Romeo and Juliet were in love, but they could not be together, as their family was an enemy of each other and would never accept their relationship. Friar Lawrence decided to help them live this love and for that reason, he set up three plans during the story.

1. The first plan was to marry Romeo and Juliet hidden from their families. Friar would perform the ceremony and this would prevent families from marrying either of them with other people, or trying to separate them.
2. The second plan involved a potion that Juliet should drink and that would help her pretend she was dead. This would allow her to escape with Romeo, without her family trying to stop her, and thus, live with her husband in peace.
3. The third plan involved sending a letter to Romeo, to let him know that Juliet was not really dead, but she was waiting for him so that she could leave the city with him. Unfortunately, this was the only plan that did not work. Romeo did not receive the letter and received the news that Juliet was really dead, which caused the story to end tragically with the death of both him and her.
