Final answer:

Juliet, alone after agreeing publicly to marry Paris, expresses her willingness to die rather than betray Romeo and her desperation for Friar Laurence's assistance in William Shakespeare's 'Romeo and Juliet'.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question pertains to a specific moment in William Shakespeare's tragedy, Romeo and Juliet. At the end of the scene where Juliet is advised to marry Paris by her Nurse, Juliet tells her father that she has changed her mind and consents to the marriage. However, when Juliet is alone, she expresses deep frustration and a sense of betrayal.

Juliet does not curse the Nurse or consider hurting her family, but she does resolve that if Friar Laurence is unable to help her out of this desperate situation, she is prepared to die rather than marry Paris. This moment reflects Juliet's intense commitment to Romeo and her complete despair at the situation that has been forced upon her.
