Why Does Romeo Call Friar Lawrence Ghostly Father?
Friar Lawrence is a priest, and priests are always called "Father". To understand why "ghostly", you need to know something about the word "ghost". It means the same as "spirit" or "soul". That's why we talk about someone "giving up the ghost" when they die; they are letting go of their soul. That's why the "Holy Spirit" in Christian theology is sometimes called the "Holy Ghost". Ghosts in the sense we usually think of them are the spirits of the dead who cannot rest, which is why the Ghost in Hamlet says "I am thy father's spirit". Friar Lawrence is not Romeo's real father--that is Montague. But the Friar is Romeo's spiritual father, the one Romeo goes to for advice and support. Spiritual and ghostly, as we have seen, mean the same thing. Hence, "ghostly father."
