I believe that Friar Lawrence is a peacemaker. He didn’t meant for everything to go wrong. He simply was trying to wed Romeo and Juliet because he saw that they were madly in love, and he thought that with them being married that would bring peace between their two households. Friar Laurence even said “But come, young waverer, come, go with me. In one respect I'll thy assistant be, for this alliance may so happy prove. To turn your households' rancor to pure love.” Friar Laurence is a father of the church. With that being said, why would he even want bad to happen to anyone. Fathers of the church look to help and pray for people in need. He thought he was doing good, but when actually he was doing bad. I believe that Friar Laurence shouldn’t have wed Romeo and Juliet. For the simple reason that he knew that the other day Romeo was in love with Rosaline he even said  “Holy Saint Francis, what a change is here! Is Rosaline, whom thou didst love so dear, So soon forsaken? Young men's love then lies Not truly in their hearts, but in their eyes.” Wouldn’t you think Friar would of had enough sense to not wed Romeo and Juliet so quick. It doesn’t make sense to marry someone right after they was in love with someone else. He also wed them would out their parents permission. He know their kids, and he chose to marry them without their parents even knowing. Without them even being at the wedding. Romeo and Juliet being married wouldn’t change anything with their parents feud. They would still be angry and probably even angrier. Even if the parents did agreed with them being married. They could’ve stop tybalt for trying to fight Romeo, and Mercutio and tybalt would still be alive. Or If he never married them, Romeo and Juliet could’ve still been alive at the end.
