Question

Who said this "...Thy Juliet is alive, For whose dear sake thou wast but lately dead. There art thou happy. Tybalt would kill thee, But thou slewest Tybalt. There are thou happy too. The law, that threat'ned death, becomes thy friend And turns it to exile. There art thou happy. A pack of blessings light upon thy back..."

Answer 1

The character who says those lines is Friar Laurence.

Step-by-step explanation:

Friar Laurence (also spelled Lawrence) is a character in the tragedy "Romeo and Juliet" by William Shakespeare. He functions as a helper and advisor for the couple, not only marrying them, but also coming up with the plan that will, unfortunately, lead to their death.

In Act III, Scene 3, when Friar Laurence says the lines we are analyzing here, Romeo has killed Juliet's cousin, and he ends up being exiled for that. Friar Laurence is trying to console Romeo, reminding him of his good luck. Juliet is alive. Romeo is also alive. That is all that matters. Even if they are now far away from each other, things could have been much worse. Tybalt could have killed Romeo.
