"Death is Not the Worst Thing That Can Happen to Men." -Plato

In Act 3 scene 2, Juliet refers to the death of Tybalt from two viewpoints: she misses Tybalt, and she is upset that her husband is banished.  She, like Romeo in scene 3, compares death death to banishment.  Juliet says “My husband lives, that Tybalt would have slain; And Tybalt's dead, that would have slain my husband: All this is comfort; wherefore weep I then?” In this quote, she is saying that Romeo lives and Tybalt is dead.  Tybalt's death was supposed to kill Romeo, but he didn't which is comforting, but she still is upset.  This is because, to her, Romeo's banishment is like death.  Once he leaves she will not get to see him again.  Juliet sees death as both a good and bad thing.  She dislikes that Tybalt died, but she thinks it would be better if Romeo had died rather than been banished. Romeo's death would have been the end.  However, their secret love cannot continue and because of the feud no one will support it right away.  Romeo doesn't have this time. If Romeo died, Juliet would not technically be breaking vows to her husband, but this had its problems too.  Romeo's death would make Juliet very upset because then they would never get to be together.  In this situation, death can be viewed positively and negatively.  Overall, Juliet's emotions toward death are conflicted.
