she was 'dead' for 42 hours
The potion which Juliet was to take was not poison. They were knockout drops, designed to make her look dead long enough to get buried then wake up and be reunited with Romeo. If they didn't work, she was prepared to stab herself to death, as she ultimately did.
Juliet gives voice to her thoughts in a long soliloquy in Act 4 Scene 3 of the play. She worries that: 1. The potion won't work and she'll have to marry Paris anyway. No, if that happens she'll just kill herself with a dagger. 2. The potion is really a poison. No, not Friar Lawrence! 3. She will wake up before Romeo shows and be stuck with a bunch of dead people, like Tybalt, which will drive her crazy.
Well the theory was that the knockout drops would make her look dead long enough to convince her family that she was dead and bury her. At the same time a letter is to go to Romeo getting him to show up 42 hours after she takes the potion and carry her off to Mantua to live with him. At least that was the plan.
I think it's because she took so long to answer Juliet. She beat around the bush and asked "where is your mother" before telling Juliet about the plans. *******************************OR***************************** If you mean at the end when she sends the nurse away to drink to potion it's because 1. Friar Laurence told her to be all alone earlier in his instructions so that nobody other then himself and Romeo would know she's alive. 2. Juliet was still mad at the Nurse for saying that Romeo might as well be dead to her and she should just marry Paris.
