Read the excerpt from Act II, scene v of Romeo and Juliet. Friar Laurence: These violent delights have violent ends, And in their triumph die, like fire and powder, Which, as they kiss consume: the sweetest honey Is loathsome in his own deliciousness And in the taste confounds the appetite: 15 Therefore love moderately; long love doth so; Too swift arrives as tardy as too slow. Friar Laurence is motivated to offer this warning because he
-knows that something bad will certainly happen to the lovers.
-feels that Romeo is acting foolishly and should not get married.
-enjoys giving advice because he is wise and can help others.
-wants to caution Romeo about the consequences of his actions.
