Which lines from act iii, scene iii of romeo and juliet show friar laurence believes romeo should be grateful for his punishment?
thou fond mad man, hear me but speak a word.
be patient, for the world is broad and wide.
a gentler judgment vanish’d from his lips,
this is dear mercy, and thou seest it not.
i bring thee tidings of the prince’s doom.

The correct answers are:

Be patient, for the world is broad and wide.

A gentler judgment vanish’d from his lips.

This is dear mercy, and thou seest it not.

In Friar Lawrence's opinion, Romeo's punishment is really a blessing because the offense he perpetrated, assassinating Tybalt, was deserving of death. However, the Prince only banished him from Verona, instead of execution. Therefore, Friar believes Romeo should be grateful for his punishment.
