2. 1. If the potion does
not work Juliet plans
to stab herself.
Come vial.
What if this mixture do not work
at all?
Shall I be married then tomorrow
morning?
No, no! This shall forbid it. Lie
though there.
Lines 21 -24
3. 2. Juliet is suspicious
that the potion is really
poison to kill her and
save the Friar’s honor.
But he is a man of God
so she’ll trust him.
What if it be a poison which the Friar
Subtly hath ministered to have me dead,
Lest in this marriage he should be
dishonored,
Because he married me before to Romeo?
Lines 25-28
4. 3. Juliet also worries that she will wake early and be
alone with all the bones, bodies and spirits in the crypt.
Lines 40-53
5. 4. Juliet’s speech is a soliloquy.
a) She is speaking her thoughts aloud when
alone
b) She is talking to the audience, not other
characters.
* Different from monologue, which may be spoken to other characters not just
audience.
