- Hi! My name is Mya and today we are going to be taking a look at Romeo and Juliet Act 4 Scene 2 lines 18-23. Blue bubbles are pieces from my quote and yellow is just speech from the play.
- Give me, give me! O, tell not me of fear!
- Hold, then; go home, be merry, give consent To marry Paris: Wednesday is to-morrow: To-morrow night look that thou lie alone; Take thou this vial
- Just before the events of Act 4 Scene 2 lines 18-23, Juliet goes to Friar Lawrence in an attempt to find a way out of the wedding that was just set up for her by Capulet. He doesn't know what to do, until he gets an idea. He tells Juliet to go home, give consent to marry Paris and then to drink a potion that would make her look dead so that Romeo could take her from her grave and they could run away.
- To you and your behests, and am enjoin’d By holy Lawrence to fall prostrate here, And beg your pardon: pardon, I beseech you! Henceforward I am ever ruled by you.
- How now, my headstrong! where have you been gadding?
- Shall I be married then to-morrow morning?
- Send for the county; go tell him of this: I'll have this knot knit up to-morrow morning.
- When Juliet gets home, she apologizes to Capulet. Unfortunately, he doesn't respond in the way she way hoping. He's so exited by her apology that he moves up the wedding! The purpose of the lines isn't just to push the plot of the play forward, it's to show how flawed and how fragile the plan her and Friar Lawrence set up is. Because Capulet moved up the wedding, Juliet had to drink the potion early. This meant that the letter didn't get to Romeo before someone brought the news of Juliet's "death" to him.
