Friar Lawrence affects the action of Romeo and Juliet by marrying Romeo and Juliet, helping Romeo escape Verona safely, and helping them reunite by giving Juliet a sleeping potion to fake her death. In Act II scene III, Friar Lawrence says, “For this alliance may so happy prove/ To turn your households’ rancor to pure love (II, iii, 94-95).” This means that Friar Lawrence will agree to marry them, but only because he hopes their marriage will end the feud between the Capulets and the Montagues. In Act III scene III, Friar Lawrence says, “Either be gone before the watch be set,/ Or by the break of day disguis’d from hence./ Sojourn in Mantua; I’ll find out your man,/ And he shall signify from time to time/ Every good hap to you that chances here (III,iii,171-175).” This quote states the plan that Friar Lawrence made to help Romeo escape Verona and keep him updated on what happens there. In Act IV scene II, Friar Lawrence says, “There’ll be no warmth or breath to prove that you’re alive. / The color in your lips and cheeks will fade/ to pale ashes; your eyelids will close/ like death when he shuts up the last day of your life (IV, ii, 100-103).” In this quote, he is describing the effects of the potion he will give Juliet to fake her death.

The first is the myth of the founding of Rome with the birth of twins Romulus and Remus by the Vestal Virgin Rhea Silvia as a result of rape by the God Mars. The second relates to the founding of the Roman Republic with the last king of Rome Tarquin the Proud and his family expelled from the city after his son Sextus had raped his cousin's
Vivamus, mea Lesbia Analysis of the Poem: “Catullus 5” also referred to as “Vivamus, mea Lesbia”, written by Gaius Valerius Catullus, is one of the most famous poems by Catullus. It depicts an instance in the affair between Lesbia (the wife of a Roman Statesman) when it is highly exuberant and passionate. It is differs to his other poems which feature Lesbia as “passer meae deliciae puella” describes essentially the onset of their relationship, of how they attain a playful and affectionate relationship. However, their affair then reaches the point where Lesbia (in “nulli se dicit mulier”) admits her copious love for Catullus as she prefers to be married to no one but him, and not even Jupiter could seek for her love. “Vivamus, mea Lesbia” may be seen the pinnacle and climax of their relationship and anything thence describes their love degenerating.
