    Mercutio, a friend of Romeo, dissents his request and challenges him instead. This altercation led to the death of Mercutio, which led to Romeo’s desire for vengeance. Tybalt reaches his demise as Romeo stabs him with his sword. Romeo flees to Friar Laurence’s cell and receives the news that he is exorcised from Verona. Tybalt’s death causes Lord Capulet to move Paris and Juliet’s wedding on Thursday. Helpless, Juliet consults Friar Laurence for advice about postponing the wedding. Friar Laurence fabricates a plan to get Juliet away from Paris. “If, rather than to marry County Paris,/ Thou hast the strength of will to slay thyself/ Then is it likely thou wilt undertake/ A thing like death to chide away this shame…” (IV.i.71-74) This is another mistake because he should have thought of an easier solution: one that doesn't require Juliet to fake her death, as it is a spurious plan. After informing Juliet with the plan, he proceeds by giving her a potion to mimic the effects of death. “Take thou this vial, being then in bed,/ And this distilling liquor drink thou off…” (IV.i.93-94) He also says he will get another friar to deliver the information about the plan, in the form of a letter, to Romeo. “I’ll send a friar with speed/To Mantua with my letters to thy lord.” (IV.i.123-124) Friar Laurence’s omission to deliver the letter himself was another…
