Question

Read the excerpt from Act II, scene iii of Romeo and Juliet. Romeo: We met we woo'd and made exchange of vow, I'll tell thee as we pass; but this I pray, That thou consent to marry us to-day. Friar Laurence: Holy Saint Francis! what a change is here; Is Rosaline, whom thou didst love so dear, 70 So soon forsaken? Young men's love then lies Not truly in their hearts, but in their eyes. Jesu Maria! what a deal of brine Hath wash'd thy sallow cheeks for Rosaline; How much salt water thrown away in waste, 75 To season love, that of it doth not taste! How does Friar Laurence support the archetype of mentor in the excerpt?

Answer 1

C. By discouraging a hasty course of action

Answer 2

C. By discouraging a hasty course of action

Romeo has come to tell Friar Laurence how he has fallen in love with Juliet and wishes to marry her immediately. Friar Laurence is hesitant and skeptical because he knows the morning before Romeo was pining for Rosaline. Friar Laurence's attempts to call Romeo out on his behavior and sudden change of heart is typical of the mentor archetype.
