Romeo and Juliet are in Juliet’s room, looking out the window. Juliet doesn’t want Romeo to leave yet. Romeo is aware that a morning bird is singing, a lark, and not a night bird, a nightingale. This is a good indication that morning is coming. Juliet convinces Romeo to stay and they rush back to the bed. Then, Juliet has a sudden jolt of anxiety come over her and she tells him to go since it is indeed morning. He must leave so he is not caught by the Capulets.
The Nurse enters and gives them a fair warning. Lady Capulet is approaching. The two lovebirds say their goodbyes with Romeo assuring Juliet that they will meet again.
Lady Capulet enters and she sees that Juliet is upset. She tells Juliet that too much weeping is silly. Lady Capulet is plotting out revenge for Tybalt. She tells Juliet that she plans on sending a servant to assassinate Romeo with some kind of poison. He is hiding out in the city of Mantua. Juliet fibs and says that she’d be thrilled to see Romeo dead.
Lady Capulet continues with the news that brought her to Juliet’s room. She tells her that she will be married to Count Paris at Saint Peter’s Church next Thursday morning. Juliet is super angry. She says that she would rather marry the vile Romeo than Paris. Capulet comes along and puts an end to Juliet’s argument. She will marry Paris and that is final. The Nurse tries to speak up for Juliet, asking Capulet to stop treating her so poorly. He shuts her up. Then, he lets Juliet know that if she refuses the marriage to Paris then he will disown her.
Later, Juliet vents to the Nurse. She also tells the Nurse that she is going to visit the friar to supposedly make confession before her wedding. She asks the Nurse to go tell her parents where she is going. Juliet swears that she will kill herself if she can’t be with Romeo.
