What is Friar's plan in Act 5 Scene 2?
Sending for a crowbar, Friar Lawrence declares that he will have to rescue Juliet from the tomb on his own. He sends another letter to Romeo to warn him about what has happened, and he plans to keep Juliet in his cell until Romeo arrives.
The friar proposes a plan: Juliet must consent to marry Paris; then, on the night before the wedding, she must drink a sleeping potion that will make her appear to be dead. Juliet will be laid to rest in the Capulet tomb, and the friar will send word to Romeo in Mantua to help him retrieve her when she wakes up.
Summary and Analysis Act V: Scene 2
Friar Laurence discovers that Friar John, the messenger he sent to Mantua with a letter to Romeo explaining that Juliet is alive, has been quarantined because of an outbreak of the plague and prevented from leaving Verona.
The Friar advises Romeo to go to Juliet that night as he had planned, and then before daybreak, flee to Mantua. The Friar promises to find a way to announce Romeo and Juliet's marriage publicly and thereby gain a pardon for Romeo to return safely.
The friar convinces Juliet to take a sleeping potion which will simulate death. He will send word to Romeo that she is actually alive, and after Juliet's family has given her up for dead, she will escape Verona and run away with Romeo. The plan would have worked, if the messenger to Romeo hadn't been delayed.
Friar Laurence's plan for Romeo and Juliet to fake Juliet's death went well until he had to tell Romeo about his plan, Romeo's servant sees Juliet dead but does not understand what is going on so he tells Romeo what he saw before the friars plan could get to him, this causes Romeo to buy poison to kill himself because ...
The Friar offers her a plan: agree to the marriage, but drink a poison the night before that will make her appear dead while in reality leaving her asleep. The Friar will then send word to Romeo, who will return and rescue Juliet once she awakes in the family tomb. Juliet accepts.
Friar laurence's plan to Juliet is that Juliet is going to drink the poison and fake her death for 42 hours, until Romeo comes and gets her.
- say you will marry Paris, go to bed alone, drink potion. ...
- you will fake your death. ...
- Paris will try to wake you up and he will find you dead. ...
- people will dress you in funeral clothing and put you in the tomb. ...
- I will send Romeo a letter of the plan, we will meet you at the tomb, you can go to Mantua with Romeo.
Friar Lawrence's plan is that Juliet will agree to the marriage with Paris on Thursday. On Wednesday, Juliet will drink from a vial that will stop her pulse and make her appear dead, but she will really wake in 48 hours. Once they move Juliet to the Capulet tomb, Romeo will meet her there, and they will be together.
What happens in Act 5 Scene 2 of Macbeth?
Act 5, Scene 2
Summary: Scottish troops, led by Angus, Lennox, and other soldiers, are headed toward Birnam Wood. There, they plan to meet up with Macduff, Malcolm, and their English troops. They all discuss Macbeth's horrible leadership and the fact that he's clearly in this for himself, rather than for Scotland.
Friar Lawrence becomes upset, realizing that if Romeo does not know about Juliet's false death, there will be no one to retrieve her from the tomb when she awakes. (He does not know that Romeo has learned of Juliet's death and believes it to be real.)
