How is friar Lawrence and the nurse similar?

Answer:

The Friar Lawrence acts as a parental guide for Romeo, while the Nurse acts as a parental guide for Juliet. Both the Friar and the Nurse help the lovers, and they are both known more by their social roles as Friar and Nurse rather than by their actual names. Most importantly, they act as paternal and maternal influences that replace the couples' biological parents.
