The nurse has just proposed to Juliet that she should commit bigamy and marry Paris. It's an outrageous suggestion, really. The nurse, however has always seemed to be a rough and ready type when sex is concerned, loving crude sexual jokes at the expense of a child ("Thou wilt fall on thy back when thou art older, wilt thou not, Jule?") and enjoying Mercutio's dirty talk. Maybe she seriously thinks that bigamy would be ok. But Juliet has every reason to hold her in contempt for this opinion and to decide to exclude her from any further confidences.

In Act 2, the Nurse makes Juliet angry by delaying her news about Romeo. She teases Juliet and draws out the suspense before revealing the information Juliet is eagerly awaiting. This behavior frustrates Juliet and adds to the tension in the scene.

What does Juliet do to make Romeo mad?

Does Juliet from 'Romeo and Juliet' have a nurse?
The answer is both, Yes and No. The term 'Nurse' that Shakespeare uses in Romeo and Juliet, does NOT refer to what we, in modern times, call a Nurse (as in a Medical Nurse). Another meaning of 'Nurse' is a Lady in Waiting (a Valet for a woman) or more simply put, a Woman's Personal Servant/Maid. Typically speaking ALL, and usually ONLY, wealthy women had a 'Nurse' or 'Nurse-maid' at that time. But that is not the meaning of Nurse in Romeo and Juliet. This Nurse was Juliet's wet-nurse, which means that Juliet fed as a baby from the breasts of the Nurse rather than from her mother. The nurse remembers in Act 1 Scene 3 that it was eleven years since Juliet was weaned (stopped breastfeeding) because the Nurse put bitter wormwood on her nipple to make it taste bad to Juliet. She has continued as a servant since but is remembered as a Nurse and has a special relationship with Juliet.

Why doesn't Juliet tell Nurse about her plan to escape the wedding?
The nurse has told Juliet that she should just shut up and marry Paris. Juliet knows that if she confides her plan to feign death to the nurse, the nurse will likely tell her mother. Shakespeare shows us the moment when Juliet realises she can no longer trust her nurse, at the end of 3.5. Juliet asks the nurse if she really means that it is better to forget Romeo and marry Paris. The nurse answers: 'Yes, or may I burn in Hell' [the actual words are:'And from my soul too, Or else beshrew them both'] Juliet answers 'Amen' ['I hope you do']. A good director - like Franco Zeffirelli can make this one of the most chilling moments in the play. .
