Romeo And Juliet Potion Essay

Juliet has no idea what was in the poison and still drinks it. Romeo’s mother died with grief of the loss of her child. Juliet was so blind with love she didn't think how this would affect her friends and family or even how Romeo would act about it. She never went over the plan with Romeo and there was a short chance of them

Romeo and Juliet deceive others due to the poor guidance they receive about their situation. They resort to deceit as a resolution for their desperate situations. Friar Laurence performs their secret marriage as he believes that this alliance could ‘…Turn [their] household’s rancour to pure love’. Juliet is later forced to marry Paris and asks the Nurse for assistance. The Nurse replies that Juliet is ‘…better in this second match’. The Nurse helped Juliet to marry Romeo but as the situation becomes tricky, she betrays Juliet and encourages her to marry Paris; she provides poor guidance in doing so. This poor advice convinces Juliet to consider a plan involving a ‘desperate… execution’. This desperate execution is provided to Juliet by Friar Laurence who provides Juliet with a potion that puts her in a sleep like death. The Friar

Juliet took a Potion that put her into a deep sleep, which in result made her family think she was dead. Also making Romeo think the same thing, he went to her grave site to take his own life, there he had an encounter with her fiancé, Paris, and they engaged in a fight and shortly after killing Paris Romeo took his own life. A short time after Juliet awoke from her deep sleep she discovered that her husband and fiancé were dead and took her own

Juliet proves that emotion is the enemy of decision making through her actions with Friar Lawrence and her family. Capulet pressures Juliet to marry Paris at the church on Thursday, but Juliet persistently declines. After Juliet’s fight with Capulet and Lady Capulet, she states, “I’ll to the Friar to know his remedy. If all else fails, myself have power to die” (3.5.242-243). Juliet is explaining her last resort if all else fails. Instead of Juliet contemplating about her own death, she should have considered making other plans to resolve her issues. Additionally, Juliet goes on to to drink a potion that makes her seem dead for two days so that she will be able to be with Romeo, who was banished from Verona. Friar Lawrence gives the potion to Juliet saying, “Take thou this vial, being then in bed, and this distilled liquor drink thou off, when presently through all thy veins shall run a cold and drowsy humor, for no pulse shall keep his native progress, but surcease” (4.1.96-100). Juliet then accepts the potion stating, “Give me, give me! O, tell not me fear!” (4.1.124). Juliet lets her love for Romeo rein supreme and influence her to drink something that could kill her, just so that she could be with Romeo. Because Juliet caved in, she will pay for her mistakes

In Act IV of Romeo and Juliet, things start looking up for Juliet as Friar Lawrence gives her a potion to fake her death so she will able to escape with Romeo. Hurrying to the Friar’s cell to seek help, Friar Laurence tells Juliet to plead for forgiveness and she would drink a poison that will fake her death for 42 hours. Leaving Friar’s cell Juliet hurries home to plead for forgiveness and that she will agree to Paris’ marriage. After being forgiven Juliet is starting to have doubts about the potion, but drinks it anyways. Going on at the same time, the Capulet family is preparing for the wedding in the morning. In the morning, the Nurse discovers Juliet’s “dead” body and everyone is confused and saddened at the sight of their child

In the events of the play, Juliet is faced with a dilemma of whether or not to leave her life behind to go live with Romeo. She has the option to take a vile to make it appear as though she were dead, so she can live with her love for the rest of her life without having to worry about her parents’ disapproval. When she is confronted with this decision, she thinks to herself, “What if it be a poison which the Friar / Subtly hath ministered to have me dead?” (4.3.25-26). This is among many doubts that cross her mind when she is contemplating her decision. During her situation, she envisages many things that could go poorly if she chooses to take the potion. In addition to fearing that the Friar could be poisoning her, Juliet also fears that

The hatred between the Montagues and the Capulets triggered Friar Laurence to give Juliet a sleeping potion, an action with grave consequences. Her dilemma is that her father, Capulet, is ordering her to marry Paris but she can't because it would go against her religion because she is married in secret to Romeo. Juliet asks Friar Laurence for a solution to her dilemma. The Friar proposes that Juliet take a special potion that would make it seem like she were dead. This is the Friar's instructions to Juliet as to when to take the potion and the effects of the potion:

After the conference with Friar Laurence, Juliet returned home and convinced her father that she is willing to marry Paris when she had no intention of doing so. While speaking with her father, she said she repent disobeying him, and that she “met the youthful lord at Laurence’ cell/ And gave him what becomed love I might”(Juliet, IV, ii, 27-28), calming the rage and disappointment that Lord Capulet felt. Juliet manage to appease to her father, causing him to become ecstatic and pushing the marriage soon, inturn ruining the plan of Friar Laurence and caused Juliet to drink the potion on day earlier than intended. When she hear about the wedding was held on Wednesday, she became desperate and drank the potion from Friar Laurence, a potion that is suppose to put her into a death-like coma. After drinking the vial from Friar Laurence, Juliet’s nurse found her and bellowed out that “Alas, alas! Help,

Which brought problems to everybody involved. To emphasize my claims Juliet takes Friar Lawrence's potion to make her appear dead in hopes that when she wakes up she'll be in her family tomb and Romeo will be there to take her to there happily ever after. Juliet is deciding whether or not to take the potion the friar gave her she says “What if the mixture do not work at all?... What if it be a poison the friar subtly hath ministered to have me dead,... I fear it is; and yet methinks it should not.”

”(Shakespeare 5:3) Juliet wakes up from the potion and realizes that the plan didn't go as how she wanted it to go. She finds him dead in front of her and she takes his dagger and kills herself so she can be with

Juliet drinks the poison because she wants to be with Romeo, even if it resulted to death. Her love for him was internal and she expressed that. “Haply some poison yet doth hang on them to make me die with a restorative.” (Shakespeare 274). After Juliet awakens from her deep sleep, she realizes her lover, Romeo, was found dead next to her.

The potion was about wear off and they would be together. Everything had gone as Brother had planned, and Sister saw that now. In just a moment Romeo would kiss the lips of his living beloved, and all would be fine. They would finally be together, and the story of Romeo and Juliet would conclude with the utmost love, though resulting in the death of Paris.

Juliet takes the potion and falls back on her bed. When her nurse finds her the next morning she goes to the house crying that Juliet is dead. When Juliet wakes up in the next 42 hours Romeo will be there to let her out of the vault, but that didn't happen because Romeo got told that she was dead he didn't know of the plan, so he wanted to die also. He went to see Juliet and she hasn't woken up yet so she still looked dead. After seeing Juliet like that Romeo drank the poison that killed him. Once Juliet woke up she seen Romeo next to her dead she really wanted to die this time. She tried to get some of the poison off of Romeo's lips but that didn't work. So she took his sword knife and stabbed herself in the heart and died.

Romeo instantly fell in love with you and wanted to marry you. At first you didn’t know if it was true love since it happened so suddenly.

Now, your wedding to Paris is tomorrow, and Romeo is in Mantua. Juliet, you can’t drink this potion, it may kill you, your family will be devastated, and your brain is not fully developed to make this decision.

Actually, she was afraid of drinking the potion but she still drank the potion for Romeo. The reason seems as the lyrics of this song, “You’re the light, you're the night.You’re the color of my blood.You’re the cure, you're the pain.” There love is strong and full of power, Romeo was extremely important for her that makes her brave. “You are the fear, I don’t care.” Juliet was not sure if the potion will work or not since nobody had ever try it, it had the risk that she could never wake up and meet her Romeo, but she still chose to drink it, regardless of all the risks, it illustrates their love is not weak, it is much closer and stronger that people
