So, I have to first analyze the metaphors, similes, etc., then describe how those pertain to the theme and characters and finally then relate that to author's craft. William Shakespeare's character Friar Lawrence adds so much to the story, he understands what is happening between Romeo and Juliet, and he tries to help by giving them what they want.
