Friar Lawrence tells Juliet, "Take thou this vial, being then in bed, And this distillèd liquor drink thou off,When presently through all thy veins shall run, A cold and drowsy humor, for no pulse"(4.1.96-99). This proves that Juliet is willing to fake a death and lie to her family in order to spend her life with her beloved Romeo. As Well they wanted to be together so desperately that they both died to be with each other, which seemed to be their only option. Juliet says to herself, "Yea, noise? Then I’ll be brief. O happy dagger, This is thy sheath. There rust and let me die. (stabs herself with ROMEO’s dagger and dies)"(5.3.182-184). Romeo, not knowing Juliet was not in fact dead, took a potion to poison himself and take his life. Juliet then woke up to realize her husband
“Love makes you do crazy things, insane things. Things in a million years you never thought you’d see yourself do.”
The nurse and Juliet have a relationship that goes way back. The nurse has raised many capulet kids including juliet, she is like a mother figure to juliet and even Lady capulet recognises that. “This is the matter:-nurse give leave awhile, we must talk in secret:-nurse come back again;...” Lady capulet realized that the nurse knows alot more about juliet the she does herself.

First, together they decide to get married and they Friar Lawrence marry them. “And there she shall at Friar Lawrence’ cell/ Be shriv’d and married….” (2.4.165-166).

Thirdly, Juliet decides to take a sleeping potion so she does not have to marry Paris. “O bid me leap, rather than marry Paris,/ From off the battlements of any tower,” (4.1.77-78). Finally, Romeo arrives at the tomb that causes him to kill Paris and find a “dead” Juliet. He then believes “That unsubstantial Death is amorous,” (5.3.103), and he takes the poison and kills himself. If Juliet had woken up a few minutes earlier he would not be dead along with Paris.

Early in the play, Romeo and Juliet meet and instantly fall in love. In the infamous balcony scene, they clearly express their love and decide to get married. Juliet says, “Three words, dear Romeo, and good night indeed. If that thy bend of love be honorable, Thy purpose marriage, send me word tomorrow, By one that I’ll procure to come to thee, Where and what time thou wilt perform the rite, And all my fortunes at thy foot I’ll lay And follow thee my lord throughout the world,” (2.2.149-155). Juliet has confirmed that she wants to marry Romeo the next day so long as he gives her a notice the next day. Romeo and Juliet are so in love that they are willing to rush into this marriage, not truly thinking of what is about to come next. They don’t stop to think about what this marriage will mean for the rivalry between the families and they don’t understand that maybe it isn’t a good idea. If Romeo and Juliet had considered the trouble that this marriage would cause, perhaps they would not have gotten married so quickly.

Once there, Friar tells Juliet of a plan that involves her faking her death using a concoction that will make her appear dead. Romeo will then find her and they will be reunited and live their lives together away from their feuding
