Friar Laurence agrees to participate in Romeo's plan to elope. What does this say about his character?

A. He is a hopeless romantic; he is happy to see love blossom as he has never been in love.

B. He cares more for the happiness of Romeo than for how he appears in public.

C. He is well-meaning and optimistic but probably a little short-sighted and impractical.

D. He is selfish and only wants the money that Romeo promises him in return for his assistance.

Respuesta :

I would say that the answer is C. He agrees to marry them because he wants to bring the feuding families together. He means well. However, he doesn't understand that this plan has many complications. He also doesn't understand the extent of the families' rage towards each other. Hope that helps!
