Friar Lawrence chides Romeo for forgetting Rosalin so easily and falling for Juliet so quickly. In regards to Romeo and Juliet's marriage, Friar Lawrence says, "These violent delights have violent ends." (2.6.9). This warning from the Friar foreshadows that Romeo and Juliet's marriage will end as quickly and as "violently" as it began during the party in Act I.
