Romeo is very miserable about being banished from Verona. The Friar tells him it could be worse because Tybalt could have killed him, or the Prince could have sentenced him to death, or Juliet could have rejected him, and none of this happened.

∙ 14y agoFriar Lawrence tells Romeo that he should be thankful that he killed Tybalt before Tybalt killed him, to look at banishment as a blessing because the usual punishment for his crime is death, and that Juliet is still alive and waiting for him to come to her.

∙ 14y agoIn Act 3 Scene 3, lines 135-141 Friar Laurence gives Romeo three reasons why he should be grateful. First, Juliet still loves him. Second, Tybalt, who wanted to kill him, is dead. Third, he himself could be dead, but by the Prince's clemency he is alive.

∙ 8y agoThe friar is not telling Romeo to be cheerful or anything here. What he is saying is that Romeo is lucky. That is what the word "happy" used to mean; you can still see that meaning in some words, like "happen" (to occur by chance) or "mishap" (a bit of bad luck). Romeo has been moaning about how miserable his life is, and the friar tells him he is lucky, because, first, Juliet is still alive, second, Tybalt wanted to kill Romeo but Romeo killed Tybalt instead, and third, instead of being sentenced to death for killing Tybalt, Romeo got off with banishment.

How does romeo act around friar Lawrence?
Possibly it is the fact that three of the Friar's first four lines after Romeo enters begin "Young son", "That's my good son", and "Be plain, good son". Of course, as Romeo's priest, the Friar is supposed to be his spiritual father; it's in his job description.
What three reasons does Friar Lawrence think could have caused Romeo to come so early?
1.) Romeo was upset about something that had happened. 2.) Romeo wasn't in his bed last night 3.) very excited to meet with Rosaline however its really Juliet, daughter of Capulet.
Why wasn't Friar Laurence's letter delivered to romeo and did Friar John go to Mantua himself or did he try to get a messenger?
Friar Laurence's letter is not delivered to Romeo because Friar John was kept in quarantine since there was a plague in his house. Friar John wanted to go to Mantua himself but he couldn't. Once Friar Laurence hears this he says: "Now must I to the monument alone. Within these three hours will fair Juliet wake. She will beshrew me much that Romeo Hath had no notice of these accidents; But I will write again to Mantua, And keep her in my cell till Romeo come." His plan is to go to the tomb, get Juliet then write a second letter. But Friar Laurence's second letter is never sent to Romeo because Romeo's servant Balthazar has already told him Juliet is dead. Romeo arrives at the tomb before Friar Laurence can even write the second letter, which results in Romeo killing himself, which results in Juliet killing herself.
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.
