"Juliet: (1) Come night, come loving, black-browed night, give me my Romeo. (2) And when I shall die, take him and cut him out in little stars and he will make the face of Heaven so fine, that all the world will be in love with night and pay no worship to the garish sun. (3) Oh, I have bought the mansion of a love but not possessed it. And were it be sold, not yet enjoyed. (4)So tedious is this day! (5) As is the night before some festival, to an impatient child that hath new robes and may not wear them."
Context: Romeo and Juliet had met only the evening before at a party at the Capulet's mansion. She meets and falls in love with a new man, who is an uninvited guest at the costume ball. That man is Romeo, a member of the household of her family's hated enemies the Montagues. They speak at the party. They are enamored of one another. Later that evening, Juliet retires to her rooms where the balcony scene takes place.
Romeo cannot sleep. After pledging his love to her and eventually leaving Juliet's balcony he wanders the city of Verona until dawn when he arrives at the monastery and meets with his friend and confessor, Friar Lawrence. Romeo reveals his love for Juliet, and asked the friar to marry them that day. The friar agrees to this hastily arranged marriage thinking it might end the feud between the Capulets and the Montagues. The friar is a friend to both families and wants there to be peace between the two great households.
Juliet is informed by a messenger of Romeo's plan to marry her on that day. She sends her nursemaid to find Romeo to consent to this arrangement. The two lovers meet in the cell of Friar Lawrence and are married. When the wedding ceremony is over, Juliet races home where she impatiently awaits her wedding night. The monologue finds her waiting in her garden for night to come so she can be with Romeo as husband and wife.
Juliet's monologue has several instances of foreshadowing of both...
