    True or False:At the end of Act II Friar Laurence expresses concern about the relationship between Romeo and Juliet, thinking their love is too sudden and intense:"These violent delights have violent ends, and in their triumph die, like fire and powder which as they kiss consume."

    Explanation
    In Act II, Friar Laurence does express concern about the relationship between Romeo and Juliet. He uses the metaphor of "violent delights" to describe their love, suggesting that it is intense and passionate but also dangerous. He compares their love to fire and powder, which when they come together, consume and destroy each other. This implies that Friar Laurence believes their love is too intense and could lead to tragic consequences. Therefore, the answer is true.
