- Tweaked by Noah Dudash: Act 4, Scene 1
- Ah, Juliet, I already know thy grief. It strains me past the measure of my wits. I hear thou must, and nothing may delay it. On Thursday next, be married to this Count Paris.
- Tell me not, friar, that thou hearest of this unless thou tell me how I may prevent it. If, in thy wisdom thou canst give no help, Do thou but call my resolution wise, And with this knife, I'll help it presently.
- Act 4, Scene 2
- Send for Count Paris go tell him of this. I'll have this knot knit up tomorrow morning.
- Pardon, I beseech you! Henceforward I am ever ruled by you.
- Act 4, Scene 3
- What if after I'm laid to rest in the Tomb I wake up before Romeo comes to save me? That's a fearful thought. Wouldn't I be suffocated in the vault with the foul air and die before my Romeo arrives? Or if I live through that, isn’t it likely the terrors of death and night, combined with the creepiness of the place will distress me? I’ll be in the ancient Vault where for hundreds of years my ancestors have been buried.
- In this scene, Friar Lawrence is telling Juliet that he has heard that she is to marry Paris. Juliet feels disappointed and asking him if he has a way to stop the marriage since he married her and Romeo. She then tells him if he doesn't have a way to stop the marriage, she will use a knife and kill herself. These lines are important because Juliet is clearly letting everyone know that she does not wish to marry anyone other than Romeo, and if not Romeo then her tomb will be her wedding bed.
- Act 4, Scene 4
- Go wake Juliet, go and trim her up, I’ll go and chat with Paris. Hie, make haste, make haste, the bridegroom he comes already. Make haste, I say.
- She's dead, deceased, she's dead, alack the day!
- After Juliet came up with a plan to run away with Romeo, Juliet is kneeling before her father. She is telling him that she regrets ever opposing her father and promises to always obey her father and his rules. After hearing her confession, her father Capulet decided to move Juliet and Paris' wedding one day up. This means they will be married earlier. This creates a problem for Juliets plan to work.
- Act 4, Scene 5a
- Most of the scene is Juliet giving the audience a soliloquy. She is talking about her fears now that her plan to run away with Romeo has changed. She is worrying about things like, will the potion she has to take end up killing her? Or what if she wakes up in the tomb where all her ancestors were buried before Romeo has the chance to save her from there. At the end of her soliloquy, Juliet ends the scene by drinking the potion and falls on her bed.
- Act 4, Scene 5b
- Peace, ho, for shame! Confusion's cure lives not In these confusions. Heaven and yourself Had part in this fair maid; now heaven hath all, And all the better is it for the maid. Your part in her you could not keep from death, But heaven keeps his part in eternal life.
- In this scene, you can see that all the characters are rushing around the house and preparing for the wedding. They do not have much time left before Count Paris and Juliet are meant to be married. After giving some orders out to a few servants Capulet calls for the nurse to go and get Juliet. The only problem is Juliet isn't awake.
- At the beginning of scene 5, the nurse follows Capulet's order and goes to wake up Juliet. The Nures walks into her room and tries to call for her but she got no answer. She touched Juliet's face and said it felt cold. The Nurse called for capulet and told him that Juliet is dead.
- Alack the day, she's dead, she's dead, she's dead! Ha! Let me see her. Out, alas! She's cold.
- At the end of the scene once everyone finds out Julie has "passed" Friar Lawrence gives them a speech. He tells them they have shared their time with Juliet but know it is time for her to go with God. These lines could have two meanings. Friar Lawrence knows about the plan for Juliet to drink the potion, but he is not sure if she is actually dead or not. END OF ACT.
