The villain, the hero, the sidekick, everything in between. It seemed he had nothing without them, without the two young star-crossed lovers who took their lives.
But he did.
Without Friar Lawrence, Romeo and Juliet would have never gotten married. Their love would have stayed as whispered promises and stolen kisses, never to take on any more meaning than childish adoration.
Without Friar Lawrence, neither Romeo nor Juliet would have died.
The story of the star-crossed lovers is known to all, but his story remains shrouded in mystery. Read on for the Friar's tale, a chain of events that would inevitably cause the greatest woe Verona had ever seen.
