2. 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.

The message about Romeo being ill and not being able to meet her, waiting a month to talk to their parents, and meeting in the garden again that night are all incorrect options as they do not pertain to the topic of getting married.
