Why is Juliet anxious for the night to come?

Answer 1

She's afraid that the Friar's potion might not work, or work too well and kill her, and she's afraid that she might wake up in the tomb full of dead folks and nobody will come to collect her while she goes nuts.

Answer 2

Juliet is worried because she sent the nurse at nine, she does not return for 3 hours.

She is also frustrated because the nurse, instead of telling Juliet what Romeo said, spends time complaining to Juliet how shes tired and how her bones ache.

Answer 3

She is 13 - which is very young.

She has never been in love before and she has only ever read about it - it's a whole new world.

It is in secret.

Her parents (if they knew) would disapprove of the match as he is a Montague.

The steps she takes to be with Romeo (e.g. the potion) are risky.

Answer 4

She had to consummate her marriage as soon as possible for it to be legal. But this was not her main concern, nor that of the Friar or the Nurse. As her soliloquy "gallop apace, you fiery-footed steeds" shows, she is anxious to have sex with Romeo because she is in love with him and desires him. She has resisted having sex with him without being married, but now that they are married, she is impatient to be his wife in the physical sense and not just in name. Yes, a consummated marriage could not be annulled, but that was not what Romeo and Juliet were mostly interested in.

Answer 5

Juliet is anxious for the night to come because that is when she plans to secretly meet Romeo, whom she loves, in the garden. She is eager to be with him and fears that the day may linger too long, delaying their precious time together.

Answer 6

So she can have sex with her husband Romeo. It is her wedding night, after all.
