Answer 1

Friar Laurence wants to caution Romeo about the consequences of his actions. This is evident from his statement "These violent delights have violent ends, And in their triumph die, like fire and powder," where he warns that intense passions and desires can lead to destructive consequences. He advises Romeo to love moderately and for a long time, rather than rushing into things too quickly. His warning shows that he is concerned about the potential negative outcomes of Romeo's actions and wants to prevent harm from coming to the lovers.
