Answer:

Friar Lawrence's plan for Juliet in Shakespeare's "Romeo and Juliet" is designed to help her avoid a forced marriage to Paris and reunite with Romeo.

Step-by-step explanation:

Juliet's parents, unaware of her secret marriage to Romeo, arrange for her to marry Paris. Distraught, Juliet seeks Friar Lawrence's help. He devises a plan to give Juliet a potion that will make her appear dead for 42 hours. The idea is that she will be placed in the Capulet family tomb, and in the meantime, Friar Lawrence will send a message to Romeo explaining the plan. When she wakes up, Romeo will be there to escape with her.

Unfortunately, the plan goes awry when the message doesn't reach Romeo, leading to the tragic ending of the play.
