Juliet fears that the potion might not work and she'll have to marry Paris. She also worries that the potion might actually kill her. Additionally, she is concerned that she might awaken early and be surrounded by the decaying bodies in the Capulet tomb.

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.
