∙ 12y agoThe friar says this when he is describing to Juliet the effect of the potion:
Each part, deprived of supple government,
Shall, stiff and stark and cold, appear like death:
And in this borrow'd likeness of shrunk death
Thou shalt continue two and forty hours
When he says "each part" he means each part of her body. Now what governs the body? The mind. The mind is the government of the body because it controls it. And it is supple, that is to say flexible, because it can react to outside stimuli. So what he is saying is that without the mind to control the parts of her body and to react to the world, her body will appear to be dead. But he says it a lot more succinctly.
