In Act 3.3, Friar Laurence tries t cnvince Rme t accept his sentence and leave Verna.

By Act 4.1, when Juliet is desperate and willing t kill herself, Friar Laurence has a plan fr Rme and Juliet t be tgether. He tells Juliet, if thu dar st, I ll give the remedy (line 76), describing his plan fr Juliet t fake her wn death s she des nt have t marry Paris.

He says [b]eauty s ensign (line 94), r banner, is the clr in Juliet s face, and death s pale flag (line 96) has nt advanced t Juliet s face. This represents death and beauty as tw frces waging battle ver Juliet, which suggests that Juliet is like territry t be cnquered in a battle that beauty is winning. Rme calls death a mnster (line 104) wh keeps Juliet in the tmb t be his paramur (line 105), r lver. This suggests that Juliet is s beautiful that death tk her because he wanted her as a lver.

Shakespeare creates an effect f sadness when Rme drinks the pisn. Rme says, Thus with a kiss I die (line 120) and drinks the pisn.
