Soliloquy 1 - Friar Lawrence:
Now must I to the monument alone;
Within this three hours will fair Juliet wake.
She will beshrew me much that Romeo
Hath had no notice of these accidents;
But I will write again to Mantua,
And keep her at my cell till Romeo come—
Poor living corse, closed in a dead man’s tomb!
In this soliloquy, Friar Lawrence speaks about his plan to fake Juliet's death and then secretly reunite her with Romeo once he returns to Verona. He expresses his anxiety about the plan and his fear of Juliet's reaction when she awakens in the tomb. He also acknowledges the danger of the plan and the potential consequences if it fails.
Soliloquy 2 - Juliet:
Farewell! God knows when we shall meet again.
I have a faint cold fear thrills through my veins,
That almost freezes up the heat of life:
I'll call them back again to comfort me—
Nurse!—What should she do here?
My dismal scene I needs must act alone.—
Come, vial.
What if this mixture do not work at all?
Shall I be married then to-morrow morning?—
No, No!—this shall forbid it.—Lie thou there.—
What if it be a poison, which the friar
Subtly hath minister'd to have me dead,
Lest in this marriage he should be dishonour'd,
Because he married me before to Romeo?
I fear it is: and yet, methinks, it should not,
For he hath still been tried a holy man.
How if, when I am laid into the tomb,
I wake before the time that Romeo
Come to redeem me? there's a fearful point!
Shall I not, then, be stifled in the vault,
To whose foul mouth no healthsome air breathes in,
And there die strangled ere my Romeo comes?
Or, if I live, is it not very like
The horrible conceit of death and night,
Together with the terror of the place,—
As in a vault, an ancient receptacle,
Where, for this many hundred years, the bones
Of all my buried ancestors are pack'd:
Where dead Tybalt, yet but green in earth,
Lies festering in his shroud; where, as they say,
At some hours in the night spirits resort;—
Alack, alack, is it not like that I,
So early waking,—what with loathsome smells,
And shrieks like mandrakes torn out of the earth,
That living mortals, hearing them, run mad;—
O, if I wake, shall I not be distraught,
Environed with all these hideous fears?
And madly play with my forefather's joints?
And pluck the mangled Tybalt from his shroud?
And, in this rage, with some great kinsman's?
As with a club, dash out my desperate brains?—
In this soliloquy, Juliet speaks about her fears and anxieties regarding the plan to fake her death. She is worried that the potion given to her by Friar Lawrence may not work or that it may actually be a poison. She is also terrified of waking up alone in the Capulet family tomb, surrounded by the corpses of her ancestors and the body of Tybalt. She imagines being driven mad by the gruesome sights and sounds and even considers using a bone from the tomb to kill herself if she wakes up before Romeo arrives. She also sees a vision of Tybalt's ghost, which only adds to her fear and desperation. Despite all of this, she ultimately decides to drink the potion and take her chances, in order to be reunited with Romeo.
These soliloquies reveal the intense emotional and psychological turmoil that the characters are going through in Act IV, as they prepare for the final tragic events of the play.
I hope I helped!
