Oh poor Capulets! They had to witness the "death" of their only daughter, living a mournful morning. They have no idea about the truth and what has actually happened. The nurse walked in trying to wake up the young child, but there was no response. Her bones were stiff, her blood did not run, and her skin was ice cold. She had been dead in their eyes and this day, the day Juliet was supposed to get married, became the day of her death. Friar Laurence and Count Prince came in and began to feel saddened. Friar Laurence tried to make this a less tragic by saying that she is now in heaven with the Lord, but then Lady Capulet wanted to marry Death just like her daughter did. She didn't want to live when her only child had died. Many were in agony and everything for the wedding was reversed and was used in a sad manner for her burial. Friar Laurence told them to bring her to the church in her best clothes because it is the custom, but we really know what is going on here. All of these people are getting hurt physically and emotionally just for the love of two children.
As Juliet is on her way home from Friar Laurence, Lord and Lady Capulet plan the wedding for Juliet for the next morning. When she gets home, she must act as if she is willing to marry Paris and interested in getting married. She asks her parents for forgiveness and claims that she went to Friar Laurence for a confession and lesson. Her parents believe her and soon go back to organizing her arranged marriage. After, Nurse and Juliet go into the room. They prepare the wedding dress and her outfit for the morning. Lady Capulet walks in, concerned with how they are, but soon after Juliet asks them to leave. She feels very nervous and is a little paranoid about what could be in the potion like actual poison or the potion might not work at all. Shortly, she takes a drink out of the vial and falls into her slumber.
Woah Romeo! Juliet is a little crazy, but I guess she's also really smart and thinking of you all of the time with her "perfect plan" to be with you. I guess she really does love you. SO What happened was that your girl came to Friar Laurence and ended up meeting her "fiancé", Count Paris. Oh my cousin is going to be so hurt once this happens. They spoke about their wedding for a short amount of time and Paris gave her a small kiss but when he left, Juliet spoke of her REAL love, Romeo. My dear cousin has no idea that she is not only mourning for her cousin Tybalt, but also for the banishment of Romeo. Juliet spoke to Friar Laurence on how she wants to kill herself if she has to marry someone else even though she is already married to Romeo. Luckily, Friar Laurence recommended a better decision for her that would allow her to live AND be with you forever. She would drink this "potion" that would cause her to sleep for 48 hours. It seems that the is dead because she grows limp and her heart will stop, but once the 48 hours are finished, she will wake up feeling rested. Her family will this she is dead and they will bring her body in a coffin to the church, then Friar Laurence would bring her to Mantua where they would be able to live together forever. Because she agreed, Friar Laurence is going to send Romeo a message about this plan and I hope he will receive it in time.
