Romeo and Juliet Act 4 Summary (Very urgent)
Answers
Answer:
his upcoming marriage to Juliet. Friar Laurence is surprised by this news although he tries not to show it. He knows that Juliet will be upset since he already married her to Romeo, so she is not going to want to marry Paris. At that moment, Juliet walks in and asks if she can speak to Friar Laurence. Paris offers to leave and kisses Juliet goodbye saying he will see her on Thursday for their wedding day. As soon as he exits, Juliet panics and tells Friar Laurence that if he doesn't have a way to prevent this wedding, she will kill herself. Friar Laurence tells her to hold on because he has an idea. Rather than marrying Paris, if she has the courage to fake her own death, he can help her escape. He explains that he has a potion that will slow her breathing and make her turn cold for forty-two hours. During this time her parents will find her and put her in the monument with all their dead relatives. Then Friar Laurence will deliver a note to Romeo telling him about the plan so that Romeo can break Juliet out of the tomb shortly after she wakes up and take her away to Mantua to live with him. Juliet agrees to try it. Friar Laurence reminds her to act pleased about the marriage and ask that she not be disturbed that evening so that she can take the potion without anyone noticing. He says he will send one of the friars to deliver the letter to Romeo in Mantua right away.
