In Shakespeare's "Romeo and Juliet," Juliet takes a potion (not a vial) that makes her appear dead for 42 hours. She consumes the potion on Wednesday night and is discovered on Friday, indicating that it takes effect very quickly.
Juliet is found by her nurse the next morning after she takes the potion that makes her appear dead.
She actually doesn't call for anyone before she takes the potion, she does it in private. The only one who knows that Juliet takes the potion and doesn't actually die is Friar Laurence. She tells the nurse to go and help Mrs. Capulet with organizing the wedding.
She takes a potion which will get her buried in the family crypt.
The Nurse. The Nurse discovers Juliet after when she goes to wake her up to tell her Paris was waiting for her downstairs. She finds Juliet apparently dead (actually in a deep sleep after taking the potion) then runs back to get Lady Capulet.
Both. She is being very courageous, but the plan is a desperate one.
Juliet does not tell her nurse about the potion, as the nurse advises Juliet in a previous scene (act 3, scene 5) to forget Romeo and marry Paris. Juliet takes this as betrayal and swears never to trust the nurse again. Which is why, when the friar gives Juliet the potion, Juliet does NOT tell the nurse. Okay. That's it.
The sleeping potion that Juliet takes in Shakespeare's play "Romeo and Juliet" is meant to last for 42 hours. This is to make it appear as though she is dead to everyone, allowing her to escape her forced marriage and be with Romeo.
Juliet will wake up in the Capulet family tomb, where Romeo and the friar are planning for her to escape to be with him. However, due to a miscommunication, Romeo believes Juliet is dead and ultimately takes his own life.
