Juliet strategizes her disastrous plan and worries, “How if, when I am laid into the tomb, I wake before the time that Romeo come to redeem me?” (Lines 30-32 of Act Four, Scene Three). Juliet is desperate to see Romeo, ergo she plans to fake her death. Her thoughts of Romeo finding her lifeless foreshadows their future. Romeo is deprived of the news of Juliet’s real state of health, therefore he says, “Well, Juliet, I will lie with thee tonight. O mischief, thou art swift to enter the thoughts of desperate men!” (Lines 34-36 of Act Five, Scene One). Once again, Romeo’s perception is only focused on Juliet. His mental instability leads him to think Paris is in the way obtaining true happiness, thus he slays him. Romeo acquires poison, stands beside Juliet, and states, “Here’s to my love! (Drinks.) O true apothecary! Thy drugs are quick. Thus with a kiss I die.” (Lines 119-120 of Act Five, Scene Three). Romeo observes Juliet’s body and determines that he should die beside her. Juliet wakes to his lifeless body, and determines she should commit suicide, as well. Romeo’s foolish decisions lead to the death of himself and
himself that since Romeo is a Montague he will cause trouble. A few quotes from the
Despite his conscience, Friar Lawrence reveals a potion that will put Juliet to a false death, in the “Potion Plan” scene. His motivation was caused by the weeping and tears of Juliet who was in the hands of a twisted marriage against her will. She had already been married to her love, but now that promise was in danger of being broken. From the few lines that the friar speaks, the audience realizes that this friar is certainly not the stereotype friar that goes around trying to live an impossible life of perfection.
...re her fake dead body is kept, and drinks the poison he brought with him, hastily, without giving it a second thought, assuming that Juliet was dead and that he might not be able to live without her. However, Juliet wakes up at the moment when Romeo falls dead on her lap and she exclaims, “Poison, I see, hath been his timeless end” (5.3.167), signifying the untimely death of Romeo that occurred due to his unnecessary haste.

After Romeo retrieved the poison, he was later reunited with Balthasar at the tomb of Juliet. Here, Romeo demands Balthasar does not follow him by emphasizing “And do not interrupt me in my course./Why I descend into this bed of death/ is partly to behold my lady’s face, /But chiefly to take thence from her dead finger a precious ring…” (5.3.27-31) Balthasar responds by simpling obeying his master and tells him what he wants to hear, “I will be gone, sir, and not trouble you.” (5.3.40) At this time, Balthasar fully understands that Romeo plans to commit suicide. Romeo tells him to deliver a letter of apology and explanation to his father and wishes the good fellow farewell. By leaving Romeo be while being in the know of his future actions, Balthasar proves himself as a trustworthy friend but displays that he could have prevented the death of Romeo and Juliet. Thus, further events in the play could have potentially been the man’s
When Friar Lawrence shows concern to why he is awake so early, or had not been to bed at all. Here Romeo confides to the priest that he had been awake all night but not with Rosaline, as expected. Friar Lawrence’s response seemed to be confusion, saying “That’s my good son, but where hast though been then?”
Romeo then leaves to meet his friends. He finds out that Mercutio is killed by Tybalt

Juliet considers several consequences before drinking the potion, such as losing her sanity or being buried alive. Despite her reasoning, she summons the courage to drink the potion, exclaiming “Romeo, Romeo, Romeo! Here’s to a drink.

Juliet cries a lot when she finds out about her husbands fate. Her parents think that she is grieving about the death of her cousin, but instead Juliet is crying for the murderer of her deceased cousin. The nurse brings Juliet the bad news about Romeo (Juliet’s husband) and Tybalt (Juliet’s cousin). She tells Juliet that Romeo has been banished form Verona for murdering Tybalt, who killed Mercutio. Juliet is devastated by this news and starts to mourn about her banished husband (Romeo). Later that day, Paris comes over to the Capulet residence to talk abou...
This scene focuses on the grown maturity of love between Romeo and Juliet. The love between Romeo and Juliet can be described as an overpowering almost violent force wrought with overflowing passion that takes precedence over all other values, social loyalties or feelings. In a sense, this particular scene is a reverse balcony scene where Romeo must leave instead of Juliet. The lovers placate each other through reversals of thought, giving in to each other’s will. The willingness to give anything for every second together including death is the essence of the scene. Romeo lacks the capacity for moderation of emotions and feelings.
To start off, the Nurse tends to explain things in very confusing ways, this makes what she is saying hard to comprehend. When she comes back with the news Juliet asked for she says, “Ah weraday, he’s dead, he’s gone, he’s dead! We are undone, lady, we are undone. Alack the day, he’s gone, he’s killed, he’s dead” (3.2.37-39) Juliet asks the nurse what she has found out and she is saying how someone is dead, Juliet assumes it Romeo of course, so Juliet is now thinking Romeo is dead instead of Tybalt. This instance of miscommunication caused Juliet to become very upset until it she later finds out that Romeo is banished, not dead. Going on, when Juliet’s marriage to Paris was moved up a day, not everyone was informed of it, this causing the letter to not come to Romeo in time for him to save Juliet since she is to be dead when Romeo arrives. Friar John whom was supposed to deliver Friar Lawrence’s letters to Romeo says, “I could not send it- here it is again- nor get a messenger to bring it thee, so fearful were they of infection” (5.3.14-16). Since Friar John was unable to get these letters delivered that Romeo was suspecting, he is now worried, clueless, and uninformed of what is happening. Adding on, when Romeo comes to Juliet's tomb he is not aware of what state she is in. When Romeo opens the tomb and sees Juliet, he is sure she is dead. Romeo narrates what happens, “Here’s to
