Question

What is the order of these events? (Romeo and Juliet)

Answer 1

A.

Friar Lawrence tells Juliet of his plan: Drink a potion on Wednesday night, which will slow her breathing until she appears dead and will last for forty-two hours. Be "buried" in Capulet's vault until she wakes to find Romeo, who will know of the plan because of a letter the friar plans to send to Mantua.
B. Before drinking the potion Juliet fears several things: What if the mixture doesn't work, and she's forced to marry Paris? What if the friar gave her poison, to avoid trouble for having married a Capulet to a Montague? What if she wakes too soon in the vault of death and stench, and then suffocates? What if she goes insane in such an eerie place, and dashes out her brains with a dead relative's bone?

C. The next morning (wedding day), the Nurse goes to wake Juliet, but finds her "dead."

D. Lord Capulet orders that all wedding music, bells, flowers, and feast be used for a funeral rather than for a wedding.

E. A happy Juliet returns home to ask her father's forgiveness for her disobedience. Capulet is so pleased with Juliet's changed attitude that he moves the wedding day forward by one day . . . Juliet is to marry tomorrow, on Wednesday.

F. The Capulets, Paris, and Nurse all weep and moan over Juliet's "dead" body, while Friar Lawrence tells them to rejoice, instead, for she is in heaven, a better place. (Of course, he knows the truth, which is why he is not upset.)
