What is the friar talking about when he says, “Virtue itself turns vice, being misapplied, / And vice sometime’s by action dignified” (II.iii.21-22) and how does it relate to Romeo and Juliet’s situation?
The friar means that good people can become evil by loving unwisely. It relates directly to Romeo and Juliet’s situation because the friar’s attempt to help Romeo and Juliet will actually make it look like they are dead even though they aren't. Additionally, the friar's plan to use Romeo and Juliet to unite their families is foolish because feuds cannot be ended.
The friar means that good ideas often lead to tragedy and bad ideas can sometimes surprise people and have good results. It relates directly to Romeo and Juliet’s situation because the friar gives good advice which lets Romeo and Juliet get married, even though they are young. Additionally, although Romeo and Juliet's love is immature, it unites the Capulets and Montagues and ends the feud.
The friar means that good things can promote bad results and bad things can sometimes promote good results. It relates directly to Romeo and Juliet’s situation because the friar’s herbs will play both a good roles and a bad roles in his plan for how the couple can be together and how they will eventually die. Additionally, although he plans to use their immature, ill-advised love as a way of promoting harmony between the Capulets and Montagues, this same pure love plays a part in both of their deaths.
The friar means that innocence always leads to tragedy. It relates directly to Romeo and Juliet’s situation because they think their love will survive the hatred between their families. Additionally, Romeo and Juliet's innocence causes them to trust each other when they should not.
