Essay of Romeo and Juliet

            Shakes Sphere is known for writing a play called “Romeo and Juliet”. The outcome of the story is that Romeo and Juliet both die in the end of the play. They couldn’t love each other freely, and openly. Romeo kills himself thinking that Juliet was dead. When Juliet finds out that her husband died, she kills herself. Their deaths bring together the Capulet’s and Montague’s as one. Before Romeo and Juliet died, The Capulet’s and Montague’s were enemies of each other. But Romeo and Juliet changed that. In the play Shakes Sphere uses different characters, and each character had its own affect in the play.  The Nurse and Friar Lawrence played big roles in the play.

                The Nurse Helped Romeo and Juliet be together, she was Juliet’s mother figure. She took care of Juliet ever since she was born. The nurse was the first person to find out about Romeo and Juliet being together. At first, she was really shocked hearing about their love. But when she went to deliver a message to Romeo from Juliet about getting married, she liked Romeo and described him as a kind gentleman. For example she describes Romeo, “A man young lady! Lady such a man, as all the world- why, he’s a man of wax”. She said this when she came back from delivering the message to Romeo.  Another example is when the Nurse warned Juliet about her mother coming into her room while Romeo was there. For example, “Your lady mother is coming to your chamber. The day is broke; be wary, look about.”  The nurse helped them both be together and be happy.

                Friar Lawrence is another character in the play that helped Romeo and Juliet fall in love together. But Friar Lawrence is from Romeo’s side of the story.  Friar Lawrence is Romeo’s good friend and gives him advice. He was the one who got them both married and had a plan for them both. When Romeo told him about Juliet he disagreed at first. Then, thinking about it, he respected Romeo’s love to Juliet. Since Romeo and Juliet couldn’t be together, Lawrence came up with a plan for them both to run away and be free to love each other. He will give Juliet a potion that will put her to sleep for 48 hours and seem to be dead. In the time being, he would send Romeo to return from Mantua, and meet Juliet in her grave once she has woken up. That was the whole plan of Friar Lawrence, but of course it has gone terribly wrong.

                There are the similarities of the Nurse and Friar Lawrence but there are also the differences. The nurse and Friar Lawrence helped Romeo and Juliet to be together. They both helped them in different ways. For example, the Nurse sent a message to Romeo from Juliet talking about marriage. Then, Friar Lawrence got them both married and had a brilliant plan for them to be together. The differences are that the Nurse changed her mind about Romeo when he got banished for killing Tybalt. She was trying to convince Juliet to marry Paris, saying that he was rich and very handsome.  Friar Lawrence didn’t betray them at all. Those are some of the differences and similarities of the Nurse and Friar Lawrence.
