"How if, when I am laid into the tomb,
I wake before the time that Romeo
Come to redeem me? There's a fearful point!
Shall I not then be stifled in the vault,
To whose foul mouth no healthsome air breathes in,
And there die strangled ere my Romeo comes?"
Juliet is sitting on her bed with Friar Laurence's potion to simulate death in her hand. Should she take it? What if something goes wrong? She is getting cold feet and is pursuing her fears as she hesitates to take the potion.
The plan is that she will appear to be dead and will be buried in the family crypt. These crypts are airtight, but she will not be breathing enough to use up all the oxygen. Once she wakes she will breathe fully and will use up oxygen, but that won't matter because by that time Romeo will have come and broken the airtight seal to get into the vault.
Or will he? What if he doesn't get there in time? "Shall I not then be stifled in the vault?"

What does Romeo mean by dull earth in scene 1act 2?
In Scene 1 of Act 2 of Shakespeare's "Romeo and Juliet," Romeo refers to the earth as "dull" because he is contrasting it with Juliet's beauty and brightness. To him, Juliet is like the sun, illuminating everything around her, while the earth seems uninspiring and ordinary in comparison.
Who is Juliet waiting for in act 2 scene 5?
I suppose you mean Act 2 Scene 5 where Juliet is waiting for the nurse to come back. In Act 4 Scene 5 she is waiting for the potion to wear off so she'll wake up. Act 3 Scene 5 is a busy scene with not much time in it for waiting. In Act 1 Scene 5 Juliet is waiting for Romeo to kiss her when she says, "Saints do not move, but grant for prayers' sake."
Who wrote 'What's in a name That which we call a rose by any other name would smell as sweet.' and where?
That quotation is a close approximation of a line from Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet. That line is talking about language and saying that what really matters is what a person is, not what groups he belongs to. That words don't mean much... you can still smell a rose and appreciate its beauty even if you called a particular rose "axle grease" instead. The line is just after Juliet finds out that Romeo belongs to a group that she has hated all her life. She already loves him though, and realizes that no matter what group he belongs to (in this case his family), she still loves him for who he is.
