Friar Lawrence

Wise, confident, smart, fatherly and optimistic.
" Young men's love then lies not truly in their
hearts, but in their eyes."
"For this alliance may so happy prove,
to turn your households' rancor to pure love."
"Hold, daughter: I do spy a kind of hope,
Which craves as desperate an execution."
Friar Lawrence is a father figure for Romeo who
is neglected by his actual parents.
