'What are they thinking' questions are pretty subjective. I guess the best place to start is with motivation.

So, the Friar gives Juliet the poison. He's trying to help her and Romeo. Does that mean he approves of what they're doing? How did he feel about the wedding he performed in the first place? Does he think that this crazy plan is going to work?
Juliet finally agrees to marry Paris. Is she sincere? Does she regret lying to her parents and to Paris? Does she regret marrying Romeo? How does she feel about Paris himself? Does she object to him as a person, or does she just object to marrying him because of the polygamy? Juliet's characterization thus far has been of a good, obedient daughter, a bit on the naive side. How does she feel about deceiving her parents? Is this contradicting her earlier characterization, or changing it?
Same basic ideas go for question three.

I hope that's helpful.
