Juliet's nurse.
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.
At various times, Benvolio, Mercutio, the Nurse, Friar Lawrence, Romeo's father, Friar Lawrence's friend Friar John and Romeo's servant Balthazar all try to do things which they think will help Romeo. And Juliet too, of course.
Romeo and Juliet is one of Shakespeare's most popular plays, known to virtually every English speaker and indeed to everyone in the world. Some of the lines from it are known to everyone. It is one of the best-known works of literature there is.
Friar Laurence is Romeo's confidant, and the play suggests Romeo has known him since he was very young as it implies that the Friar is a religious leader. Friar Laurence is to Romeo; what the nurse is to Juliet.
