How good is the friar's plan?

Answer the following questions while keeping these points in mind:
  • Write at least five sentences in paragraph form with a good topic sentence and a good conclusion
  • Use standard punctuation, grammar, and school-appropriate language.
  • Use details from Romeo and Juliet--and details from your own experience--to support your answer.
Is the friar's plan for getting Romeo and Juliet together a good idea? What are the potential drawbacks/hazards of the plan? What are the potential benefits/rewards of the plan? Could it have ever worked and why or why not? What could have been some alternatives to the plan? Would you have gone along with the plan (in Romeo or Juliet's postion)? Why or why not? Should the friar be blamed for what eventually happens?
