 Studying Romeo and Juliet? Let's look at key quotes relating to the character of Friar Lawrence. In Act 2 scene 3 Friar Lawrence has really shocked that Romeo not only has he changed his feelings for Rosaline but he actually now wants to marry Juliet. He says Holy Saint Francis what changes him? Now this exclamatory sentence shows that he's a little bit critical of how Romeo is so quick to move on from love. He asks is Romeo's love for Rosaline so soon forsaken? Young men's love then lies, not truly with the hearts put in their eyes, basically showing how shallow Romeo is. The siblings in So Soon shows that Friar Lawrence is even doubtful if Romeo's love for Juliet will last. Also the ramen couplet Lies in Eyes show that Friar Lawrence doesn't really believe Romeo is truly in love maybe he's just in lust. He says the son not yet dies sighs from heaven clears. Basically it's not that long ago that you're crying about Rosaline. This is hyperbole showing that Friar Lawrence thinks Romeo falls in love too quickly. He asks an art thou changed? Now this rhetorical question basically shows that Friar Lawrence is maybe a little bit reluctant to get him and Juliet married because he thinks that perhaps his love might not last that long.
