Romeo and Juliet ( comic relief )


In Act IV Scene I, the Friar told Juliet to take a potion that would make her appear dead for 42 hours so she wouldn't have to marry Paris. He had arranged for Friar John to send Romeo word of the plan. That way, Romeo would be there as she woke, and she then would be taken off to go live with Romeo.

But when it comes time to take the potion, in Act IV Scene 3, Juliet has some reservations. First she worries that the potion might not work, but she keeps a dagger by her in case that happens. Then she worries that the potion might be poisonous, but she dismisses that as something which the Friar would not do. Then she worries that Romeo might not get to the tomb in time to take her away and there she'd be all alone with a bunch of rotting corpses. She takes the poison just to stop thinking about this possibility.
Friar Laurence proposes to Juliet that she drink a vial of distilled liquor (it's a drug) that would put her into a sleeplike trance for 24 hours so she won't have to marry Paris the next day. The drug is meant to make the drinker look, feel, and seem dead, not even breathing at all.

------------------------------------>

From the plan of Friar Laurence and Juliet to drink the poison that can make her dead, Juliet drunk the wrong one.

Because of the same bottle with the other liquid. Juliet did not notice the that there is no label within the tow bottles. So Juliet decided just to drunk any of the two. But instead the poison, Juliet drunk the purgative liquid. Then Juliet sent a message to Friar Laurence that he drunk the wrong one. Then Friar Laurence help her to escape to the Capulet's house. Friar Laurence took her to  Romeo. Juliet was so pail that moment. Romeo got the purgative liquid to Juliet and he also drank the liquid left from the bottle. Then Juliet did not make it. She died. Then after few hours Romeo also died. 
Both died because of the same reason. 
DEHYDRATION :))
