Discuss the foreshadowing in the words of Friar Laurence.
Friar Lawrence talks with Rome about his decision to wed Juliet. Rome says that if anything bad ever happened the misfortune will diminish with one look at Juliet. Friar Lawrence then states, "These violent delights have violent ends And in their triumph die, like fire and powder.." (132 Act 2, scene 6) . Friar Lawrence foreshadows that even though at the current moment in time Rome believes that nothing but joy could come upon what he is doing, joy could burn in victory like fire and gunpowder. In the story Sleeping Beauty, Briar Rose marries the Prince and they thought nothing could go wrong in their everlasting love. But when an evil witch found out about their marrige she had Briar Rose prick her finger and fall into a long deep sleep. In Romeo and Juliet, the evil witch's character could be played by either of the two families when they discover that the two have married against the families will.
Friar Lawrence foreshadows the destruction that Romeo and Juliet's love will bring. He prays, "So smile the heavens upon this holy act That after-hours with sorrow chide us not" (II vi 1-2). This prayer hints toward the conclusion of this play, the death of the two lovers, Romeo and Juliet. He is praying to prevent anything disastrous to occur to Romeo and Juliet, but the reader knows that the opposite happens! This prayer gives the reader an indication that something is going to go wrong, which raises questions such as what will go wrong? Who will cause this problem? This foreshadowing not only foretells that something awful is going to happen, but it also creates curiosity in the reader’s mind.
When Fraiar lawrence says "These sudden joys have sudden endings. They burn up in victory like fire and gunpowder." Foreshadows how Juliets and Romeos love will come to an end when they die. Not to far from now there love will have to suddenly end, there will be no saving it.
“So smile the heavens upon this holy act/That after-hours with sorrow chide us not” (2,6,1-2), Friar Lawrence states, asking the heavens to “smile” upon Romeo and Juliet’s marriage, so that “after-hours” – after the marriage when they are wed, sorrow will not come, foreshadowing the sadness that will be brought, with both of Romeo’s and Juliet’s deaths to themselves and their families. The friar’s words are very relevant, showing how he is slightly anxious for the two to be married, and hopes it all works out in the best way.

Before Romeo is to be wed to Juliet, Romeo and Friar Laurence have a conversation that forshadows Romeo and Juliet's tragic future. "To smile the heavens upon this holy act that after-hours with sorrow chide us not," (act 2, scene 6). Friar Laurence means that if the heavens is happy with the marriage, then nothing in the future will happen to make them regret it.
when friar lawrence says..."come, come with me, and we will make short work. For, by your leaves, you shall not stay alone till holy church incorporate two in one."(134 act two scene six) Why does he say you cannot be alone till you are married??

Romwo has a conversation with Friar Lawrence about tying the knot with Juliet. Although, Friar Lawrence informed Romeo by saying “These violent delights have violent ends and in their triumph die, like fire and powder...” (132). Friar Lawrence foreshadows an event upcoming in the play. He implies that their relationship will end with a sudden death.
Friar Lawrence foreshadows the doom that is to come if Romeo and Juliet should rush into this newfound love. He warns that "The sweetest honey is loathsome in his own deliciousness and in the taste confounds the appetite. Therefore love moderately." Friar Lawrence compares the love of Romeo and Juliet to honey in order to advise them against taking it too fast. Honey is sweet and delicious, however eating too much, and too fast "confounds" your appetite. Just as loving too much, and too fast will "confound" their hearts. They must love eachother, "moderately".
In his[Romeo} talk with Frair Lawrence on his wedding day. Frair Lawrence forshadows thier tragic deaths, and great misfortune if he was to get married to Juliet. Lawrence then states,“these violent delights have violent ends” (II.v.9). He[lawrence] forshadows that even though that marring Juliet is the best delight that has come in his[Romeo} life. Romeo does not care what misfortune might come, as it will pale in comparison to the joy he feels right now.
In this scene, Romeo and Juliet are married by Friar Lawrence. Before he does though, he gives a word of warning to Romeo which serves as a foreshadow to the story. The Friar said,"These violent delights have violent ends and in their triumph die, like fire and powder, which, as they kiss, consume. The sweetest honey is loathsome in his own deliciousness and in the taste confounds the appetite. The Friar helped explain to Romeo that a joy so sudden will have a sudden ending. He also said how delicious honey is which is a comparison to honey and Juliet, if he loves her too quickly, he will get a 'stomach ache' from too much honey.
Friar Lawrence says to Romeo and Juliet that they cannot be alone together in Scene 6 because in the catholic religion, it is a sin to make love with another before marriage to them. And knowing how madly in love the two of them were, the Friar said this to help spur the wedding along.
What do you think is going to happen to Friar Lawrence after him saying "...you shall not stay alone Till holy church incorporate two in one" (2,6,36-37), if the Capultets or the Montagues find out that he was involved in this love story and what in turn is Friar Lawrence exactly going to do?

Romeo and Friar Lawrence talk about Romeo's love for Juliet. He thinks Romeo and Juliet are moving too fast and need to slow down a little, ".....like fire and powder, Which, as they kiss, consume. The sweetest honey is loathsome in his own deliciousness And in the taste confounds the appetite.."(Act 2, Scene 6, 132). Friar Lawrence is clearly stating that Romeo and Juliet's love will explode or die, and it may be good now, but he will get tired of her and his love will start fading for her.
We see that the foreshadowing of Friar's words means that ultimately that Romeo and Juliet are going to die because he say's, "These violent delights have violent ends, And in their triumph die, like fire and powder," so this forreshadows their ultimate downfall and as we'll find out later that the innocence of their relationship has been destroyed because of pride and hatred.
How might this marriage affect the Friar later in the story, having been the first person besides the newly weds to know of this wedding? What might happen if this marriage is found out by the 2 families, or ones close to the families, such as Mercutio or Paris. How might they keep the marriage a secret and yet still keep satisfying their need for love from each other?

Compared to all the other characters in Romeo and Juliet, how does Friar Lawrence differ in personality?

Answering R.Caskey's question

Why would Friar bring up love in moderation to Romeo?
Question:
How might this marriage affect the Friar later in the story, having been the first person besides the newly weds to know of this wedding? What might happen if this marriage is found out by the 2 families, or ones close to the families, such as Mercutio or Paris. How might they keep the marriage a secret and yet still keep satisfying their need for love from each other?
