Summary

In lines 64-70 of Act III, scene 3, Romeo is consumed by despair over his banishment from Verona, which keeps him separated from Juliet. He rages that exile is worse than death, even threatening to take his own life. Friar Laurence interjects, criticizing Romeo for his dramatic, ungrateful reaction (pointing out he is lucky to be alive instead of executed) and starts to push him toward a more rational mindset, hinting at a potential way to fix his situation.
