What is Friar Lawrence saying?

Thy wit, that ornament to shape and love,
Misshapen in the conduct of them both,
Like powder in a skilless soldier's flask,
To set a-fire by thine own ignorance,
And thou dismember'd with thine own defence (III. iii. 138-142).

Answer:

3:Romeo must use Friar Lawrence's philosophy well or it will backfire on both of them.

Explanation:

Romeo is undergoing a crisis after having murdered Juliet's cousin ,Tybalt. He has also learnt that Juliet is weeping for their mishaps: the murder of Tybalt's has made their chances of being together even harder. Friar Lawrence is trying to calm Romeo down and tells him to go abroad. If Rome does not follow the Friar's advice, his unpredictable attitudes - impulses- will turn against Juliet and him himself.
