The Friar tells Paris that Juliet is too young to marry and mentions that the mourning period for Tybalt, her cousin, is delaying the wedding.
Friar Laurence tries to dissuade Paris by suggesting that Juliet may not be ready for marriage yet as she is grieving over Tybalt's death. He advises Paris to be patient and give Juliet some time before moving forward with the marriage. Ultimately, the friar is trying to buy more time to come up with a plan to reunite Juliet with Romeo.
to help marry him and Juliet
Juliet goes to Friar Laurence's cell in the play twice. The first is to marry Romeo and the second is after she learns of her prospective marriage to the County Paris. The latter time she seeks his help to stop the marriage from happening so that she may remain faithful to her Romeo and bee reunited with him.
When Juliet arrives at Friar Laurence's cell, it is Paris who is speaking with the Friar. Paris is there to discuss marrying Juliet, but Friar Laurence is aware of her secret marriage to Romeo. This sets up the conflict that will lead to the tragic events of the play.
The Friar knows that Juliet is already married. He doesn't want to have to refuse to marry her to Paris in a public way. His plan not only helps Juliet, it also gets him off the hook.
Paris told the friar that he wanted to marry Juliet quickly in order to cheer her up. Her cousin Tybalt had just been murdered and he said that he wanted to have the wedding celebration to take her mind off of it.
Friar Laurence performs the marriage. Hope this helps! :)
He says that Capulet is hurrying on the marriage to cure Juliet of being depressed.
The Friar gives Juliet a vial of potion that will make her appear dead to help her escape her arranged marriage to Paris. This plan is meant to give Juliet time to be with Romeo and avoid marrying Paris.
Juliet drinks Friar Lawrence's potion, which she fears may actually be poison, rather than enter into a bigamous marriage with Paris.
Paris tells Friar Laurence that everyone is sad because of Tybalt's death so therefore a happy occasion is needed (the wedding).
Juliet believes Friar Lawrence should prevent her marriage to Paris because she is already secretly married to Romeo and cannot marry another man. She also trusts the Friar and seeks his advice on how to avoid the marriage without dishonoring her family.
