Best Answer

The nurse has told Juliet that she should just shut up and marry Paris. Juliet knows that if she confides her plan to feign death to the nurse, the nurse will likely tell her mother.

Shakespeare shows us the moment when Juliet realises she can no longer trust her nurse, at the end of 3.5.

Juliet asks the nurse if she really means that it is better to forget Romeo and marry Paris.

The nurse answers: 'Yes, or may I burn in Hell' [the actual words are:'And from my soul too, Or else beshrew them both']

Juliet answers 'Amen' ['I hope you do'].

A good director - like Franco Zeffirelli can make this one of the most chilling moments in the play.

Who carries the message about wedding arrangements from Romeo to Juliet?

In both the play and the movie, it is the nurse who raised Juliet, who carries the wedding information between Romeo and Juliet.


Why does the nurse go on and on about her pain when Juliet is waiting for an answer about the wedding plans with romeo?

She is teasing Juliet.


Who marries Romeo and Juliet and aside from this person and Romeo and Juliet which other person knows about the secret wedding?

Friar laurence marries them, and the nurse knows about the wedding


What is the nurse's advice to Juliet and how does Juliet's opinion of the nurse change as a result?

The nurse tells Juliet to "get on with her life" so -to-say. The nurse recommended that Juliet get married to Paris since Romeo had been banished from Verona, and that Juliet would never see him again, so she should move on and forget about him. Juliet's opinion of the nurse changed because she thought that the nurse was on her side, and wanted Juliet to be with romeo, so she felt somewhat "betrayed" when the nurse said this. By saying that it is alright to marry Paris, the nurse is saying that Juliet is not really married to Romeo, that their wedding was a sham and their wedding night a roll in the hay. To Juliet, who considers herself to be Romeo's wife, this is an outrage.


Why does the nurse cant stay in Juliet's room night before the wedding?

The nurse isn't allowed to stay in Juliet's room the night before Juliet's wedding to Paris, because Juliet has to take the "medecine" the priest gave her that will permit Juliet to only sleep longer andnot die. Juliet takes that "medecine" because she doesn't want to marry Paris, but wants to be with Romeo. As a consequence, she fakes her own death. In order to take the "medecine" unnoticed, she has to be alone in her room the night before the wedding. So, no nurse allowed to stay.
