The next morning, he is forced to leave when Juliet's mother arrives. That night, Romeo sneaks into Juliet's room, and they consummate their marriage.

The Nurse tells Juliet the sad news about what has happened to Tybalt and Romeo. When Prince Escalus arrives at the murder scene, he banishes Romeo from Verona forever. Angry over his friend's death, Romeo fights with Tybalt and kills him. Romeo tries to block the two men, but Tybalt cuts Mercutio and runs away, only to return after he hears that Mercutio has died. Tybalt challenges him, but Romeo passively resists fighting, at which point Mercutio jumps in and draws his sword on Tybalt. Mercutio is eloquently vague, but Romeo happens to arrive in the middle of the verbal sparring. Tybalt demands to know where Romeo is so that he can challenge him to a duel, in order to punish him for sneaking into the party. Juliet meets Romeo there, and the Friar marries them in secret.īenvolio and Mercutio (another one of Romeo's friends) are waiting on the street later that day when Tybalt arrives. The Nurse carries out her duty, and tells Juliet to meet Romeo at the chapel where Friar Laurence lives and works. Before they part, they agree that Juliet will send her Nurse to meet Romeo at nine o'clock the next day, at which point he will set a place for them to be married. She warns him to be true in his love, and he swears by his own self that he will be. Upon hearing her confession, Romeo appears and tells Juliet that he loves her. She wishes Romeo could shed his name and marry her. Juliet emerges on her balcony and speaks her private thoughts out loud. Later that night, Romeo climbs the garden wall into Juliet's garden. Meanwhile, Juliet is similarly distraught when she finds out that Romeo is a Montague. After exchanging loving words, they kiss.Īfterwards, Juliet's Nurse tells Romeo that Juliet is a Capulet, which upsets the smitten youngster. Undeterred, Romeo quietly approaches Juliet and confesses his love for her. Lord Capulet intervenes, insisting that Tybalt not disturb the party because it will anger the Prince. However, Juliet's cousin Tybalt recognizes Romeo and wants to kill him on the spot. He falls in love with young Juliet Capulet from the moment he sees her. Romeo arrives at the Capulets' party in costume. He plans to wear a mask so that he will nobody will recognize him as a Montague. Romeo helps Peter read the list and decides to attend the party because Rosaline will be there. Romeo and his friend Benvolio happen to stumble across a Capulet servant, Peter, who is trying to read a list of invitees to a masked party at the Capulet house that evening. Meanwhile, Romeo, a young man from the Montague house, laments his unrequited love for a woman named Rosaline, who has vowed to remain chaste for the rest of her life. The Prince ends the conflict by issuing a decree that prohibits any further fighting at the risk of great punishment. The play opens with servants from both houses engaged in a street brawl that eventually draws in the family patriarchs and the city officials, including Prince Escalus. Juliet’s relationship with her nurse is both complex and comical though often treated like a friend and confidant, at the end of the day, the nurse is forced to realize that she’s ultimately little more than hired help.Romeo and Juliet is set in Verona, Italy, where there is an ongoing feud between the Montague and Capulet families. At a certain point, however, the nurse’s age and pragmatism kick in-she stops helping Juliet pursue Romeo and starts encouraging her to make the safer choice of listening to her parents and marrying Paris. The nurse has a romantic side, often languishing in rambling stories about her late husband, and so when Juliet asks her nurse to help her secretly meet with and marry Romeo, the nurse is all too happy to help. She loves Juliet deeply and, though employed by Juliet’s parents, Capulet and Lady Capulet, often goes against them in order to do what Juliet wants or needs of her. The nurse has been caring for Juliet since Juliet was born, and even nursed her from her own breast. Forgetful, long-winded, bawdy, and seemingly immune to embarrassment, the nurse is happy to share cringe-worthy stories from her own past and Juliet’s with anyone who will listen. Juliet’s nurse is the main source of comic relief throughout the play.
