What does this ysis of romeo and juliet mean?

Lastly, the hour gl represents the obvious theme of rush displayed throughout the play. Friar Lawrence, as in relation to the theme of the feud, has morals opposite to those of the majority of the other characters. He believes that in being hasty or impulsive, one will make foolish decisions. He says this to Romeo regarding his love towards Juliet claiming, “The sweetest honey / Is loathsome in his own deliciousness, / And in the taste confounds the appetite. / Therefore love moderately; long love doth so” (2.6.11-14). However, twice in the play, to the reader’s surprise, he contradicts these values. The first event occurs when he quickly marries Romeo and Juliet. The other transpires when he gives Juliet the potion. In this way, we see that even Friar Lawrence loses his integrity and sucbs to the theme of haste.
