Juliet is waiting impatiently for the news from the nurse. When the nurse comes, Juliet approaches her with much energy. The nurse is tired from the long journey back to the Capulet's from her old age. Juliet begs and begs for the answer if Romeo had agreed to marry her. The nurse does not tell Juliet the news and insists that she let her get some rest. Being impatient, Juliet continues to nudge to get the news out of the nurse. At the end of the scene, the nurse tells the news and tells Juliet that she will fetch a ladder for them to be together.
Prompt C:
Juliet: Why can't you acknowledge that the nurse is tired and weary?
Nurse: If you had known how much Juliet would have begged you for the answer, would you had delivered it earlier to avoid the nagging?
Servingman: Did you hear any of the conversation? Did you wish to hear the conversation?
Nurse: What are your opinions on the two lovers' love for each other?
Prompt E
This scene reminded me of the impatient Veruca Salt from Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. She is a spoiled child that desires for everything exactly when she wants it. She only cares about the wellbeing of herself and neglects others. Like Veruca, Juliet is impatient with the nurse and neglects that she is weary and tired.
