<P> Alone, the innocent Friar gives us foreshadowing with his soliloquy about plants and their similarities to humans . When Romeo requests that the Friar marry him to Juliet, he is shocked, because only days before, Romeo had been infatuated with Rosaline, a woman who did not return his love . Nevertheless, Friar Lawrence decides to marry Romeo and Juliet in the attempt to end the civil feud between the Capulets and the Montagues . </P> <P> When Romeo is banished and flees to Mantua for murdering Tybalt (who had previously murdered Mercutio), he tries to help the two lovers get back together using a death - emulating potion to fake Juliet's death . The Friar's letter to Romeo does not reach him because the people of Mantua suspect the messenger came from a house where the plague reigns, and the Friar is unable to arrive at the Capulet's monument in time . Romeo kills Count Paris, whom he finds weeping near Juliet's corpse, then commits suicide, by drinking poison that he bought from an impoverished apothecary, over what he thinks is Juliet's dead body . Friar Lawrence arrives just as Juliet awakes from her chemically induced slumber . He urges Juliet not to be rash, and to join a society of nuns, but he hears a noise from outside and then flees from the tomb . Juliet then kills herself with Romeo's dagger, completing the tragedy . The Friar is forced to return to the tomb, where he recounts the entire story to Prince Escalus, and all the Montagues and Capulets . As he finishes, the prince proclaims, "We have still known thee for a holy man". </P> <P> Friar John calls at the door of Friar Laurence's cell, "Holy Franciscan friar! brother, ho!" (5.2. 1). Friar Laurence comes out and immediately asks about Romeo: "Welcome from Mantua! What says Romeo? / Or, if his mind be writ, give me his letter" (5.2. 3--4). Friar John explains that he sought out another friar for company and found him in a house where he was visiting the sick, whereupon the health authorities, fearing there was pestilence in the house, confined both friars in the house so they wouldn't infect others . The authorities wouldn't even allow Friar John to use a messenger to send the letter back to Friar Laurence . </P> <P> A Chorus gives the opening prologue and one other speech, both in the form of a Shakespearean sonnet . </P>
