How is the nurse behaving that is frustrating to Juliet in act 2 scene 5?

∙ 13y ago
In Act II Scene 5, the nurse is returning from her meeting with Romeo the morning after the balcony scene. At this meeting she was to discuss with Romeo the question of a wedding for Romeo and Juliet. Juliet is anxious; what a guy might think and say in the dark of the night under the influence of the moonlight might look different in the cold light of day. "At lovers' perjuries, they say, Jove laughs." She wants to know what the nurse has found out. The nurse is two and one half hours late. When she does show up, she talks about everything and anything except what Romeo has said to her. She says her bones ache, she says she is out of breath, she asks if Juliet has had something to eat, she asks where Mrs. Capulet is. And when Juliet starts to lose it from the frustration, the nurse says huffily that if Juliet is going to be that way she can run her own errands! It's a great scene and very funny if played well.

∙ 11y agoIt is not. It is the nurse's behaviour which is frustrating, not Juliet's. The nurse has returned from her meeting with Romeo. Juliet wants to know what happened and what he said, but the nurse keeps stalling and putting her off, complaining about her aches and pains, asking if she has eaten yet, and asking where her mother is, so Juliet gets frustrated.

Wiki User
∙ 13y agoThe nurse is talking about anything except the subject which Juliet wants her to talk about, which is whether Romeo wants to marry her or not. Juliet finds this very frustrating.

What is Romeo's first concern when he sees the Nurse?
Your question could be about a number of times Romeo sees the nurse, particularly in Act II Scene 4 and Act III Scene 3. In the former, his first concern is to make excuses for his friend Mercutio, who is behaving horribly to the Nurse. In the latter, his first concern is how Juliet is doing. "Speakest thou of Juliet? How is it with her?"
Why doesn't Juliet share with the nurse the story about the drug from Friar Laurence?
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. Juliet takes this as betrayal and swears never to trust the nurse again. Which is why, when the friar gives Juliet the potion, Juliet does NOT tell the nurse. Okay. That's it.
What reason does Juliet give the nurse to leave her at the opening of scene 3?
At the beginning of Act IV Scene 3, Juliet tells the nurse that she wants to be left alone to pray.

What scene does Juliet send the nurse to get Romeo?
We don't actually see this happen. What we see is Juliet promising to send a messenger to Romeo the next day at nine, then Romeo talks to the friar, then Romeo and the Nurse show up in the marketplace. Juliet may be giving her instructions to the Nurse while Romeo is talking to Friar Lawrence in Act II Scene III; it certainly happens after scene 1 and before scene 3.
