Best Answer

While she is contemplating the rope-ladder which was to enable Romeo to climb into her bedroom window, she imagines that he will now have no opportunity to consummate their marriage. She says, "I, a maid, die maiden-widowed. Come, cords! Come, nurse! I'll to my wedding bed and death, not Romeo, take my maidenhead." She is saying that if Romeo cannot take her virginity because of his banishment, then she will die a virgin. She does not say that she prefers this to his exile, because she obviously would prefer just about anything to having her husband exiled. What she is saying is that this is the result of the exile, not a good alternative.
