    First Impression Friar Laurence‚ a holy man and healer‚ is a troublesome man to characterize right away. When giving advice to Romeo‚ a lovesick Montague about love and relationships‚ he appears clever and powerful‚ chiding Romeo “Young men’s love then lies not truly in their hearts‚ but in their eyes”(2‚3‚67-68).
