Best Answer

The Friar Lawrence acts as a parental guide for Romeo, while the Nurse acts as a parental guide for Juliet. Both the Friar and the Nurse help the lovers, and they are both known more by their social roles as Friar and Nurse rather than by their actual names. Most importantly, they act as paternal and maternal influences that replace the couples' biological parents.

Friar Lawrence is a wise, rational, and spiritual figure who advises Romeo and Juliet with good intentions. The Nurse, on the other hand, is a bawdy, comical character who offers practical advice and serves as a confidante to Juliet. They both care deeply for Romeo and Juliet but have different approaches to helping them.
