Juliet’s Turmoil
Juliet has mixed feelings about Friar Laurence’s solution to her unwanted marriage plans to County Paris. Juliet wants to avoid marrying Paris at all costs, she says she will even go to the extreme of killing herself if she has to. She expresses that it would be more desirable to “go into a new-made grave” (IV, I, 84) than marry another man. Juliet is confident in her decision and is sure that she “will do it without fear or doubt” (IV, I, 87). That is until Friar comes up with a brilliant idea. Friar’s idea is for Juliet to take a potion in of which will make it appear as if she is dead; no pulse, no warmth, no breath. Juliet is on board with Friar’s plan until the night it is to take place. She begins to second guess
