Question

Make an inference about Friar Laurence and Romeo’s relationship, and compare it to the nurse and Juliet’s relationship. Write three sentences describing the similarities between these two relationships.

Answer 1

Both Friar Laurence and the Nurse act as confidants and trusted advisers to the young lovers, privy to their secrets and emotions. Both function as parental substitutes, offering comfort, practical help, and moral guidance when Romeo and Juliet cannot rely on their own families. Both become actively involved in facilitating the lovers' relationship—secretly arranging meetings, transmitting messages, and participating in plans that push the romance forward.
