In Act 5 Scene 3 the Friar describes it as "a sleeping potion."
she takes a sleeping potion that the Friar made.
The potion that Juliet takes in Shakespeare's "Romeo and Juliet" is meant to make her appear dead for 42 hours.
Juliet is found by her nurse the next morning after she takes the potion that makes her appear dead.
A potion cooked up by Friar Lawrence.
Drinking the potion is a couragous thing, it is also a follish thing to do. Juliet drank the potion so Romeo could save her and it would end the feud netween the the two families. But Juliet drank it without informing Romeo about the plan, so Romeo found her dead and they were so in love that he killed himselfwith his dagger to be with Juliet. Juliet then woke up to find her lovers dead body, which caused her real death.Juliet had stabbed her self with Romeoes dagger. Drinking the potion is couragous but in the end is a foolish.
Juliet drank a potion to make her look dead so that she didnt have to marry Paris, but then romeo found her and thought that she was dead, and so he killed himself, and then Juliet woke up from the potion and saw romeo dead next to her and so she then killed herself. Tragic ending im afraid.
He gives her a potion which will make her appear to be dead.
The potion that the priest, Friar Laurence gave Juliet to make her appear to be dead would only work for 42 hours which is a little less then two days.
The ironic part is that Juliet drank a potion to make it look like she was dead. While Romeo drank a poison to actually kill himself, both poisons and potions come from plants which is what friar Laurence was explaining in act 1.
when juliet drinks the potion friar Laurence says that Juliets will turn yellow and turn into a bannana then die in her sleep.
Romeo died first. Juliet took a fake potion to make her sleep but appear to be dead. Romeo then drank his potion presuming her dead and died. Juliet then woke up to find Romeo dead and stabbed herself with his knife.
Romeo finds Juliet's body in her bedroom after she has taken a potion that makes her appear dead.
