Throughout Act II in Romeo & Juliet the two important characters that try to make the secret lovers relationship and marriage arrangements work are Friar Lawrence and Nurse, but they do this behind the Montagues and Capulets backs, which is very risky, because of this they could lose their trust. They decide that love is more important. Did they make the right decision?
I would have to say that I would do the same thing because although love and trust are probably a few of the most important things in the world, love proves to be stronger. If people really love you than they will eventually forgive you if you break their trust because they don't want to lose you through a silly fight, they love you to much. It is shown that love is more important than trust when the people who love Romeo and Juliet, Friar and Nurse, decide to help arrange a secret wedding. "Come, come with me, and we will make short work; For, by your leaves, you shall not stay alone Till Holy Church incorporate two in one." Friar is saying we will make this short and will not leave until you are united as one. Always remember if life throws a situation at you do what your heart says and remember the people you love.

Good response, Diana. The organization of your thoughts is displayed nicely in your post. I would have liked a caption or some explanation of your image, though. In your next post, I challenge you to dig deep and respond on a more critical level!
