Act+3+Sc+2-4

The Nurse: "he's kill'd, he's dead!" **Juliet learns of Romeo killing Tybalt and though her loyalties are torn between Romeo and her family, Juliet mourns for her husband Romeo's banishment.** Juliet in an aside (speech to the audience revealing a character's innermost thoughts) is impatient to once more see her Romeo. When the nurse enters exclaiming that "he's kill'd, he's dead!", Juliet fears the worst from the Nurse's words (Line 38). We soon learn it is not Romeo that the Nurse speaks of but Tybalt (Line 61). The Nurse explains Romeo's role in Tybalt's murder and the Prince's punishment. Juliet now is somewhat conflicted; she loves Romeo, but he has killed a member of her house (Lines 73-128). When the Nurse asks whether Juliet will weep Tybalt's death, she explains that her tears will be spent on Romeo's banishment. Juliet laments her loss, explaining that her ropes are now "beguil'd," and Juliet now seeks death: "Come, cords; come, nurse; I'll to my wedding bed; / And death, not Romeo, take my maidenhead!" (Line 137). Fearing for Juliet, the Nurse arranges to find Romeo and bring him to comfort Juliet who she knows to be hiding in Friar Laurence's cell. Juliet tells the Nurse to give him her ring "And bid him [to] come to take his last farewell" with her (Lines 138-141). **Act III. Scene III.** - The Same. Friar Laurence's Cell. **Romeo learns of the banishment order, realizing he will not be able to see Juliet again. Friar Laurence suggests that Romeo should go to Juliet's bed chamber to comfort his wife...** The Friar informs an ignorant Romeo of the Prince's decree towards him. Romeo despairs; he will not be able to see Juliet again (Lines 12-14,17-22 and Lines 28-48). Romeo and the Friar hear knocking. Romeo reluctantly hides. It is the Nurse (Line 78). Romeo now asks of his wife (Line 92). We learn from the Nurse that Juliet now "weeps and weeps;" (Line 98). Romeo will go to Juliet but not stay in the morning for it will not be safe for Romeo (Line 146). The Friar then suggests that Romeo head for Mantua where he will be safe... **Act III. Scene IV. -** The Same. A Room in Capulet's house. Capulet now decides that the quick marriage of Juliet to Paris must now proceed, bidding his wife to make Juliet aware of Paris' love of her. The day of the marriage has been decided by Capulet; it will be Thursday. Paris departs happy in the knowledge that come Thursday, he will be married to the fair Juliet. Act 3 Sc V .
