What are the Friar's plans to help the young couple?
He tells Romeo to spend his wedding night with Juliet in her bedroom tonight, but he must leave Verona before dawn, while it's still dark, and before the guards and constables are out and about looking for him. Romeo is to leave for Mantua before dawn, and wait until the situation has cooled. When the Friar feels it is the right time he will tell the parents about their marriage and ask the Prince for forgiveness and permission for Romeo to return home to Verona to be united with his bride. Then, the Friar promises, all will be forgiven and his family will welcome him home with open arms. That's the plan....
