What argument does Friar Laurence use to prevent Romeo from killing himself? Juliet is alive, He should be happy for being bannished and not killed, and Tybalt could have killed him(Romeo) and not the other way around
He convinces Romeo to believe he is in a good position because he is only banished, not facing a death sentence, and that after a while they can convince Prince to let him back into Verona where he can meet Juliet.
His first argument is "Be a man!" He follows this up with "Things could be worse."
Things could be worse. Tybalt could have killed him.
Friar says that Romeo should be happy to be just banished from fair Verona instead of killed and that it is not everyday that the prince makes such a merciful judgment, he also says that why should Romeo kill himself to make his wife Juliet even more heart broken.

∙ 12y agoMontague explains that Romeo killed Tybalt because Mercutio, who was killed by Tybalt, was Romeo's friend. Thus, Romeo did not deserve to die. The Prince then banishes Romeo, instead of imposing the penalty of death, which was a merciful act on the part of the Prince.

How does she justify his murdering Tybalt?
You mean, "How does he justify his murdering Tybalt?" The only person who offers a justification for Romeo's actions is Benvolio, who argues that in killing Tybalt Romeo was only carrying out the law, since Tybalt had committed a capital crime in killing Mercutio. Juliet does not attempt to justify Romeo's actions, since she does not know the details anyway. She does feel she has to make a choice between loyalty to family and loyalty to her husband and she comes down firmly on the side of her husband.
