Romeo and Juliet Act iv SummaryJuliet goes to Friar Laurence and finds Paris is there making plans for their

wedding. (Remember the wedding got moved to Thursday)

Paris leaves, and Juliet insists that Friar Laurence help her find a way out of this wedding. She threatens, “If in thy wisdom though canst give no help/Do though but call my resolution

wise/And with this knife I’ll help it presently” (IV.i.50-53)

Friar Laurence gives Juliet a potion (Remember . . . “Virtue turns to vice when being misapplied “). The potion will make Juliet appear dead – slow her heart rate, blanche the color of her face – and will keep

her asleep for 42 hours. He will send word to Romeo to meet Juliet once she wakes up from the potion.

”Take thou this vial, being then in bed,And this distillèd liquor drink thou off,When presently through all thy veins shall runA cold and drowsy humor, for no pulseShall keep his native progress, but surcease.No warmth, no breath shall testify thou livest.The roses in thy lips and cheeks shall fadeTo paly ashes, thy eyes' windows fallLike death when he shuts up the day of life.Each part, deprived of supple government,Shall, stiff and stark and cold, appear like death.And in this borrowed likeness of shrunk deathThou shalt continue two and forty hours,And then awake as from a pleasant sleep.Now, when the bridegroom in the morning comesTo rouse thee from thy bed, there art thou dead.Then, as the manner of our country is,In thy best robes uncovered on the bierThou shalt be borne to that same ancient vaultWhere all the kindred of the Capulets lie.In the meantime, against thou shalt awake,Shall Romeo by my letters know our drift,And hither shall he come, and he and IWill watch thy waking, and that very nightShall Romeo bear thee hence to Mantua.”

Romeo and Juliet Act iv SummaryJuliet returns home and apologizes to Capulet, stating that she will go

through with the wedding to Paris. Capulet is so ecstatic that he moves the wedding to the next day, Wednesday.

Juliet prepares for bed that night and sends her Nurse and Lady Capulet away. She gives a soliloquy where she reveals how frightened she truly is. However, she finally

drinks the potion and falls to her bed.

The next morning, the day of the wedding, the Nurse discovers the body of, a seemingly dead, Juliet. The family

calls Friar Laurence who tries to comfort them with the thought that “now heaven hath all, / And all the better is it for the maid” (IV.v.63-64). He instructs the family to bring

Juliet’s body to the family tomb.
