Act
2, Scene 5
Recap:
What has happened prior to the scene?
Romeo
went to the Friar and arranged the wedding. He met with the Nurse who wanted to
find out what type of man he was and whether he was serious. Romeo told the
Nurse for Juliet to go to the Friar to be “Shrived” (to go to confession) for their wedding which has been set for that morning!
Summary:
Juliet
is waiting impatiently for the Nurse to come back to tell her whether the
wedding is on. When the Nurse
shows up, Juliet anxiously asks her what Romeo said, but the Nurse doesn’t
answer her right away. The Nurse says that she is exhausted and her joints ache
from all the walking. She is out
of breath and cannot speak "so give her a moment", but this really annoys Juliet
for she says “how can you say you are out of breath and cannot speak when you have enough breath to say that you are out of breath. Just tell me if Romeo and I are getting
married!! The Nurse is definitely
teasing her! Finally, the Nurse tells Juliet to get ready because she is
getting married today!
