Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: if you could, please give the act, scene, and line(s)

Act IV Scene (iii)

The scene once again shows the extent of Juliet's love for Romeo because despite her terror, she still takes the potion: She would rather be dead than live without Romeo or be forced to marry another.

Shakespeare uses various techniques to intensify the dramatic nature of Juliet's speech, for example, when Juliet is at last alone in her chamber she says, ' I have a faint cold fear thrills through my veins...' The of the alliteration of the ' f' sound here is important as it creates a shivery, uneasy sensation, allowing us to sense Juliet's horror at what she is about to do.

I have a faint cold fear thrills through my veins,
That almost freezes up the heat of life.

Romeo and Juliet, IV.III.15 (Juliet)
