Tell me not, friar, that thou hear’st 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. God join’d my heart and Romeo’s, thou our hands; And ere this hand, by thee to Romeo seal’d, Shall be the label to another deed, Or my true heart with treacherous revolt Turn to another, this shall slay them both: Therefore, out of thy long-experienced time, Give me some present counsel, or, behold, ’Twixt my extremes and me this bloody knife Shall play the umpire, arbitrating that Which the commission of thy years and art Could to no issue of true honour bring. Be not so long to speak; I long to die, If what thou speak’st speak not of remedy.

Amy Pung on 26 Jan 11Juliet speaks of dying instead of marrying Paris. She said that she would kill herself if Friar Laurence's plan fails. This is kind of foreshadowing, because her plan will fail and she'll die -
Justice(Ursula) Lara on 26 Jan 11foreshadowing also happens when she speaks of the knife and god joining her heart because she ends up stabbing herself in the heart anyway. -
Andy Moe on 26 Jan 11This is also one of the first times that Juliet is getting mad at the friar. This could cause later conflict when the time comes for Paris and Juliet to get married. The friar is put into a major crisis and he has to find a way to please the Capulets and not mary Paris and Juliet together. That seems impossible! -
Katie Cooper on 27 Jan 11In the sixth line I got really confused...but if you look at it a different way it's just saying that God married them spiritually, and the Friar married them physically. Got it now!!=) -
Katie Cooper on 27 Jan 11And I also think she's telling the Friar that if he doesnt know what to do or give her any advice, then she will just kill herself so that she doesnt have to deal with this anymore because she doesnt know what to do.
-
Michaela Dalton on 27 Jan 11Although I think she's also afraid to kill herself because if everything plays out then she'll have killed herself for nothing. -
Brayden Slagowski on 27 Jan 11This is one of the first times Juliet is talking seriously about suicide, before she was joking or exaggerating, now shes seriously suicidal. (SSS) -
Jasmine (Phoebe) Galloway on 01 Feb 11I can feel the pain through the words on the screen. I feel sympathy for her. arranged marriage would be horrible

And this distilled liquor drink thou off; When presently through all thy veins shall run A cold and drowsy humour, for no pulse Shall keep his native progress, but surcease: No warmth, no breath, shall testify thou livest; The roses in thy lips and cheeks shall fade To paly ashes, thy eyes’ windows fall, Like death, when he shuts up the day of life; Each part, deprived of supple government, Shall, stiff and stark and cold, appear like death:
-
Hes basically telling her to take this potion and your parents will think you are dead. -
Juliet has no pulse and appears dead when she drinks the potion but in a while she will wake up... i dont know if that is possible is that possible -
Do you think this could be a similar allusion to Snow White? Just putting it out there. -
When Friar Laurence says "Like death, when he shuts up the day of life;" it reminds me of the light vs dark and how death will kill Juliet, the sun or the light -
It is dont u whatch movies. But it is very clever of them and is a good forshadow if u think about it. -
I agree with Rick, but it couldn't be an allusion to Snow White, it would be that Snow White is making the allusion to Romeo and Juliet. -
Okay.....so the potion will make it look like she's dead...but shes still alive. How can that be possible for her to be alive if she has no pulse?
-
Its not possible there is no such potion i looked it up and it cant be an allusion to snow white because snow white was actually dead and wouldnt have woken up at all but juliet only looked dead and wouldve woken up anyway she didnt need her "prince kiss"
-
I thought in Snow White she wasn't actually dead, she was just under a spell from the apple?
-
And maybe the potion is real in the story...because the story isn't real, it's made up isnt it? I would agree with Rick and Braden.
-
No the potion is real in the story but not in real life i think someone asked if its possible to have no pulse and look dead but still be alive and its not... not yet atleast
-
The idea of it being an allusion to Snow White is interesting and I think in a way it is an allusion but Justice is right in that Juliet doesn't wait for her "magic kiss."

-
And in his wisdom hastes our marriage,To stop the inundation of her tears
-
juliet's dad thinks that if paris and Juliet get married it will make her not be sad about Tybalt's death anymore but he does not know that she is happier that tybalt died instead of romeo.
-
Lord Capulet is unaware of Juliets marriage to Romeo. Juliet is inundated with tears because of her fathers intention of Juliet marrying Paris. In my view, Juliet is inundating tears for the thought of putting shame on her family name and going against her fathers arranged marriage. She would rather follow her love than her culture. -
I think it's so sweet that she loves Romeo so much to disobey her father and her culture just to keep their love pure. What person would do that in this point of time? This play sure was easier to understand than I expected!

i agree with this. romeo has no reason to kill himself, when juliet actually does. she is being forced into a marriage that she does not want to get into. death seems to be the only way yo get out of it to her.
