Romeo and Juliet - Episode 6 - I'll Play The Housewife


Listen Later

Romeo and Juliet reluctantly part ways at dawn before her mother enters to tell Juliet to prepare to marry Paris on Thursday. Juliet protests first to her mother and then to her father, who violently berates her for refusing to marry. Lady Capulet takes her husband’s side and shames Juliet before departing, leaving her to beg the Nurse to intervene. The Nurse, however, advises Juliet to take Paris’s hand and forget about Romeo. Juliet pretends to agree but secretly goes to Friar Laurence’s cell, where she runs into Paris, who is seeking the Friar’s services for their upcoming wedding. Juliet brushes off Paris’s affection and after he departs, laments her woes, threatening to kill herself with a dagger she snatches from the Friar’s chamber. The Friar consoles Juliet with a plan for her to drink a potion that will make it look like she is dead and that she will send word of the plan to Romeo. They will then free Juliet from the Montague tomb and together, Romeo and Juliet will escape to Mantua. Back at the Capulet home, the wedding preparations are well underway. Juliet returns and begs her father’s forgiveness, then retires to her chamber where she dismisses her mother and Nurse before drinking the potion.
