Throughout Acts 4 and 5 the conflicts really started to heat up for the Friar. It first starts with the collapse of his plan in which Romeo stay in Mantua until he can come back of course that was out of the picture because Juliet was going to "marry" Paris. Then with the collapse of his other plan in which Juliet pretends to be dead by drinking that potion. That gets ruined by Romeo not knowing the plan and killing himself. The theme that really shone out was fate, it played a huge part in the story. Symbolism also took a good part of the story, at first I didn't notice it when the Friar came into the story at first but the plants that he talked about were going to take a huge part in death.
One thing that was weird is that Shakespeare made the number of deaths eve 2 Montegues, 2 Capulets, and 2 family members of the Prince. "But if thou, jealous, dost return to pry in what I farther shall intend to do"
-Act 5 scn. 3 (33-34)
I think that this was important simply because of the reason that if Romeo hadn't said that maybe he would have never died nor Juliet, but it did.
Eventhough it was a pretty hard book to understand it was a very good book because I understood it thanks to Mr. Locke who was always pausing between lines to explain stuff, and that really helped.
