In Act 4, scene 1, Friar Lawrence says, “Now, when the bridegroom comes to get you out of bed on Thursday morning, you'll seem dead. Then, as tradition demands, you'll be dressed up in your best clothes, put in an open coffin, and carried to the Capulet family tomb. Meanwhile, I'll send Romeo word of our plan. He'll come here, and we'll keep a watch for when you wake up. That night, Romeo will take you away to Mantua.” This proves that Juliet must be so in love with Romeo that if she wants to trick her families into a fake depression of being dead, that could really make her family realize how special Juliet was to them. In Act 2, scene 2, Juliet says, “O Romeo, Romeo! Wherefore art thou Romeo? Deny thy father and refuse thy name. Or, if thou wilt not, be but sworn my love, And I’ll no longer be a Capulet.” This proves that Juliet must want to be a Montague or part of a different family so that Romeo can live with her, or she can live with Romeo.

You'll remain in this deathlike state for forty-two hours, and then you'll wake up as if from a pleasant sleep. Now, when the bridegroom comes to get you out of bed on Thursday morning, you'll seem dead. Then, as tradition demands, you'll be dressed up in your best clothes, put in an open coffin, and carried to the Capulet family tomb. Meanwhile, I'll send Romeo word of our plan. He'll come here, and we'll keep a watch for when you wake up. That night, Romeo will take you away to Mantua.” This proves that Friar Lawrence would help Juliet to be with Romeo, and the same with Juliet. Juliet would do anything to be with Romeo, and taking the vial was risky, but she did it anyway to be with Romeo who is her true love. In Act 4, Scene 1, Juliet says, “Oh friendly friar! Where is my husband? I remember very well where I should be, and here I am. Where is my Romeo?….Go, get out of here.
