He's clearly worried about what this might mean initially, which is his motivation for pushing Romeo back towards Rosaline. However, as his thinking progresses, he begins to come to the conclusion that if they (Romeo and Juliet) marry, then his city may successfully evolve from the current state of violence so prevalent in Verona.
He criticizes Romeo because a day ago before the Capulet ball that he was in love with Rosaline and maybe he is not really in love with Juliet but Romeo says otherwise.
Friar Laurence's letter is not delivered to Romeo because Friar John was kept in quarantine since there was a plague in his house. Friar John wanted to go to Mantua himself but he couldn't. Once Friar Laurence hears this he says: "Now must I to the monument alone. Within these three hours will fair Juliet wake. She will beshrew me much that Romeo Hath had no notice of these accidents; But I will write again to Mantua, And keep her in my cell till Romeo come." His plan is to go to the tomb, get Juliet then write a second letter. But Friar Laurence's second letter is never sent to Romeo because Romeo's servant Balthazar has already told him Juliet is dead. Romeo arrives at the tomb before Friar Laurence can even write the second letter, which results in Romeo killing himself, which results in Juliet killing herself.
Shakespeare did not write about zombies. Both title characters committed suicide. Dead people cannot get married- Perhaps buried in marital clothes, but this has never been suggested in Shakespeare. Come on, weddings are for living people, not stiffs.
Friar Laurence tries to convince Juliet to leave with him after she sees Romeo's dead corpse because they hear someone approaching the grave (most likely the prince and police). However, Juliet refuses, so Friar Laurence flees.

"Thy husband in thy bosom there lies dead, and Paris too."

Romeo is not surprised by the news about Juliet's "death" because he believes she actually is dead due to the misinformation he received. He did not know about Friar Lawrence's plan to fake Juliet's death, so when he hears the news, he reacts based on the information he has, leading to his drastic actions.
"Thy husband in thy bosom there lies dead, and Paris too."
The friar leaves Juliet alone in the tomb because he hears someone approaching and fears being caught. He hopes that Juliet will wake up soon, but he ultimately leaves her to avoid being implicated in the tragedy.
to MantuaMantua. it is roughly 20 miles out of town (40kms) and he stays there until he hears of Juliets 'death'.
(Act 5, Scene 3) "Come, come away. Thy husband in thy bosom there lies dead; and Paris too. Come, I'll dispose of thee among a sisterhood of nuns. Stay not to question, for the watch is coming. Come, go, good Juliet. I dare no longer stay."The Friar doesn't want to be accused of the killing of Romeo or Paris, and later Juliet.
False. Friar Laurence is initially skeptical and cautious when he hears that Romeo has found a new love so quickly after being heartbroken over Rosaline. He warns Romeo about being fickle in love, showing concern rather than happiness.
The friar believed that if they would be married that the two warring families would be forced to unite under this marriage and put an end to their constant fighting and there would finally be peace.
Because Friar John failed to deliver the letter, the plan to unite the two lovers went wrong, and Romeo thought Juliet was in fact dead. Therefore, he killed himself, and when Juliet woke, she killed herself to be with Romeo.
