Juliet is saying that if her nurse had emotions and energy like a young person, she would be as lively and quick-moving as a ball. Instead, old people often pretend to be dead in their movements, being slow, heavy, and pale. This highlights the stark contrast between youth and old age in terms of vitality and physicality.

The turning point in the play "Romeo and Juliet" is when Romeo kills Tybalt, Juliet's cousin, and is banished from Verona. This sets in motion a plan to reunite Romeo and Juliet, which eventually ends in their deaths.

The killing of Mercutio by Tybalt sets in motion a tragic chain of events in "Romeo and Juliet." This leads to Romeo seeking revenge by killing Tybalt, resulting in his banishment from Verona. This leads to miscommunication and ultimately the deaths of both Romeo and Juliet. The tragic consequences include the loss of young love, the reconciliation of their feuding families, and the sorrow that comes with the unnecessary deaths of the two lovers.
It's usually an excerpt from Tchaikovsky's "Romeo and Juliet."
Friar Laurence tries to stop the fight between Tybalt and Mercutio but is forced to intervene when Mercutio is killed. This event sets in motion a chain of tragic events that ultimately results in the deaths of Romeo and Juliet.
The author's purpose in writing "And this shall free thee from this present shame" in Romeo and Juliet was to show Friar Laurence devising a plan to help Juliet escape her predicament. By offering her a potion to feign death, he gives her a way out of the unwanted marriage to Paris and the pressure from her parents. Ultimately, it sets in motion the tragic events that lead to the lovers' untimely deaths.
Romeo ends up reading the invitation to the Capulet's party because he is asked to read the contents aloud for a servant who is unable to read. This chance encounter leads to Romeo deciding to attend the party, where he meets Juliet and the events of Shakespeare's "Romeo and Juliet" are set in motion.
Motion is already involves in motion because the motion is motion
Benvolio advised Romeo to move on from Rosaline and attend the Capulet's party to compare her with other beauties. This advice ultimately led Romeo to meet Juliet, sparking their love story and setting the events of the play in motion.
Juliet brings up the subject of marriage in the balcony scene: "If thy bent of love be honourable, thy purpose marriage, send me word tomorrow by one I'll procure to come to thee, where and what time thou wilt perform the rite, and all my fortunes at thy feet I'll lay and follow thee my lord thoughout the world." Paraphrased, this means, "If you're serious and want to marry me, I'll send a messenger to find out the arrangements, and I'll marry you." In other words Juliet has already put the motion on the table; Romeo can answer by arranging a priest, a time and a place. So the nurse (and the answer to the question is, of course, the Nurse) is sent not to ask Romeo to marry Juliet, but to collect his answer.
