County Paris is very excited about his marriage to Juliet. Juliet is less thrilled. When Paris tells her his plans about marriage, she disregards him and is quite rude. Juliet decides that there is absolutely no way she can marry this arrogant and selfish man, so she turns to the Friar for help. He suggests a dangerous and flawed plan: Juliet will take a poison that will induce a deep sleep, deep enough to knock her unconscious for 42 hours to make it seem like she died so that they can sneak her body out of Verona and into Mantua to be with Romeo. Juliet immediately agrees to this plan, because she cannot imagine life with Paris instead of Romeo. When she is about to drink the poison, she has many doubts. Eventually, she forces herself to take the poison, and the plan is commenced.
Prompt E
This relates to these scenes in Romeo and Juliet because Juliet is pretending she loves County Paris when she is really in love with Romeo. She has to simulate the feeling for Paris so that her plan will work and she will finally be able to live happily with Romeo.
