Who was the ghost Juliet sees before drinking the potion?

He doesn't tell her anything. He thinks she's dead and that's what she appears to be. He talks to her the same way characters talk to the moon (this is called apostrophe), but he doesn't expect her to hear him.


How has Juliet's father disrupted Juliet's and friar's plan?

Juliet and Friar Laurence planned to get Romeo and Juliet together, but Capulet wanted to marry Paris to Juliet on Thursday. The Friar gave her a potion that would make her seem dead for 42 hours, which she was to take Wednesday night. Friar Lawrence sent a message to Romeo for him to come and get Juliet when she awoke on Friday. But Capulet changed the wedding to Wednesday which meant that Juliet would have to take the potion late on Tuesday night which she did. That meant she awoke Thursday evening. Even if Romeo had received the message to come on Friday it would have been too late.


What is Friar Lawrence's plan for Juliet?

Friar Lawrence gave Juliet a potion that would put Juliet into a coma-like sleep for about two days straight. Everybody would think she was dead. Juliet's relatives would put her in a cellar (their family morgue) and Romeo and himself would be there waiting for her to wake up. Then Romeo and Juliet could live together in Mantua.


Who should be blamed for the death of Romeo and Juliet in 200 words?

In my opinion, Friar Lawrence is guilty for Romeo and Juliet's death. I think he is guilty because he married Romeo and Juliet. He gave Juliet the potion, and because he didn't get the message to Romeo, I think that he should have met up with Romeo on the outside of Capulet's tomb. Or maybe he could of gone to Mantua and met with Romeo face to face.


What alternative plan does friar Lawrence suggest?

Friar Lawrence gave Juliet a potion that she was to drink the night before her wedding day. This potion would make Juliet appear to be dead when in fact she would simply be in a deep sleep. The Friar would then write to Romeo and tell him to go get Juliet who would be sleeping, as though dead, in the Capulet tomb and the two could escape to a different city together. However, Capulet decided to move Juliet's wedding forward one day and she had to take the potion early meaning the letter that Romeo should have received probably wouldn't get there in time. The messenger was also unable to deliver the message as he had been locked in a house which was suspected of containing the plague. By this time, Romeo's own messenger who was unaware of the plan had reached Romeo and told him Juliet was dead. Distraught, Romeo bought poison and headed to Juliet's tomb, dying minutes before Juliet woke.

Friar lawrence is some what responsible for Romeo's death. Friar Lawrence gave the letter to Friar John explaining Juliet's plan to fake kill herself.
