Unfortunately, no. That wasn't a really popular way of ascertaining death at the time. Also, he never considered that she wasn't dead. He thought that he imagined the signs of life because of his love for her.

No, of course not. Balthazar said she was dead and here she is, buried in a crypt. Romeo is surprised at how good she looks ("beauty's ensign yet is crimson in thy cheeks, and death's pale flag is not advanced there") but that doesn't make him suspect that she's not dead. Taking her pulse would be as absurd as going to a funeral and knocking on the casket, just in case he's only sleeping.

Why did Romeo drink the poison?

The potion will make her stop breathing so she has no pulse. She pretends to be dead so that she can escape away from the people in Verona, and be with Romeo. But Romeo believes she is actually dead and kills himself. She then wakes to find him dead and stabs herself. Hope i helped x


Describe the friars plan for Juliet?

That she takes a poison to slow her pulse make her cold and she will seem dead - then romeo will be sent a letter explaining that she isn't REALLY dead - she will be placed in the tomb where all dead Capulet's go - she will wake in 42 hours - Romeo will be instructed to go get her and then they can escape together and come back when all is resolved between the families - the letter never gets to Romeo though so he thinks she is really dead.


What are the effects of juliets taking the potion friar Lawrence provides?

Juliet immediately conks out and appears to be totally dead. Her pulse, breathing and respiration stop and her skin becomes white and cold. This lasts for 42 hours when she suddenly starts looking alive again (as Romeo notices in the crypt).


Who was talking about poison in Romeo and Juliet?

Shakespeare gives us no detail of the poison Juliet uses. And although he does not give any detail, the poison most likely used would have been Canterella.Canterella gave the illusion that the user was dead seeing as it cause it's victims to give no noticeable pulse. Victims were asleep for four hours.Here is an interesting discussion can be had about what poisons are at work here, nonetheless:http://mb.sparknotes.com/mb.epl?b=859&m=1336762


What is the frairs plan for getting romeo and Juliet back together?

The Friar gives Juliet a potion which gives her all the signs of death, no pulse, cold skin, slowed breath, which she takes making her family believe that she is dead. She is put in the Capulet family tomb, and Friar John was asked to deliver news of Juliet being alive to Romeo, so Romeo can come just as Juliet wakes up and whisk her off to Mantua with him. At least that was the friar's plan. Unfortunately Friar John gets caught up in traffic so to speak, so when Romeo hears that Juliet is dead, he immediately heads for the tomb, arriving while she still sleeps, and kills himself. She wakes up, finds him dead, and kills herself also.
