Virtue turns to Vice
"Virtue itself turns to vice, being misapplied,
And vice sometime by action dignified."
from Act II Scene III
The Friar asserts that even "vice" may, in special circumstances, be used for good and that "virtue" might be "misapplied" and thus produce negative effects. In a paragraph, defend or challenge the validity of Friar Lawrence's statement. You may use evidence from your readings or personal observations and/or experiences to support your position.
