Capulet: Good faith! 'tis day: The county will be here with music straight, For so he said he would. [Music within.] I hear him near. Nurse! Wife! what,! What, nurse, I say! 30

Re-enter Nurse. Go waken Juliet, go and trim her up; I'll go and chat with Paris. Hie, make haste, Make haste; the bridegroom he is come already: Make haste, I say. 35

This scene is an example of dramatic irony used to create suspense since the audience knows that

~ the musicians will not arrive on time.

~ Capulet approves of the match to Paris.

~ Romeo is already married to Juliet.

~ the nurse will be unable to rouse Juliet.
