Friar Lawrence means that when virtues are taken to excess or not used in moderation, they can become harmful or counterproductive. For example, being too kind can make someone vulnerable to being taken advantage of, thus turning a virtue like kindness into a vice.

What does the line mean virtue itself turns vice being misappliedand and vice sometimes by action dignifie?

"Virtue itself turns vice being misappliedand and vice sometimes by action dignified" talks about reversal of common roles. The first part, "Virtue itself turns vice being misappliedand," references the idea that what appears as virtue can actually be vice. The second, "and vice sometimes by action dignified," discusses how actions typically seen as negative can sometimes have dignity. In whole, this phrase means that virtue and vice are arbitrary. For another literary reference to this idea, read _The Fall of the Jesus Freaks in the College Classroom_ by B.H. Fairchild.

What 3 things does friar Lawrence believe romeo has to be happy about?

1. "Thy Juliet is alive" 2. "Tybalt would kill thee, but thou slew'st Tybalt" 3. "The law that threaten'd death becomes thy friend and turns it to exile." But be careful. When the friar says "happy" he does not mean cheerful. He means lucky. In all these three things, Romeo has been lucky, and if he is smart, says the friar, he will take advantage of the opportunity which luck gives him.
