    Friar Lawrence writes to express his concerns about Romeo and Juliet's plan to marry that afternoon. As a Montague and a Capulet, their families are embroiled in a rivalry and Lawrence fears their marriage could worsen tensions or lead to violence. He also notes they only met last night so their love may not be genuine. Lawrence suggests they date first to allow feelings to develop genuinely and see if their families can come to tolerate one another.

    Dear Verona Times,

    Romeo and Juliet are planning on getting married this afternoon. Romeo is a Montague and
    Juliet is a Capulet. I, Friar Lawrence, strongly believe that they should not get married.
    One reason why they should not get married is because of the rivalry between the two families,
    the Capulets and the Montagues. I feel that if their children get married, there will be even
    more hatred between these families causing worse things, worse than just fighting in the
    streets, to come in the future.
    Another reason why they should not get married is because they just met each other last night!
    On Sunday morning, Romeo was complaining about how Rosaline did not love him back. It is
    now Monday morning, and Romeo is asking for Juliets hand in marriage! I believe that it is
    happening too fast, and Romeo may not really be in love with Juliet, because true love does not
    happen overnight.
    A possible solution to this problem would be for Romeo and Juliet to date for a while to see if
    the families grow closer together, since they would be spending more time together. It would
    also show if they actually love each other if they date for a while first because they would be
    together more often and therefore they would truly see if they are meant for each other.

    Signed,
    Friar Lawrence
