Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare Juliet. O comfortable friar! where is my lord?— I do remember well where I should be, And there I am.—Where is my Romeo? [Noise within.] Friar Lawrence. I hear some noise.—Lady, come from that nest Of death, contagion, and unnatural sleep; A greater power than we can contradict Hath thwarted our intents. Come, come away. Thy husband in thy bosom there lies dead, And Paris too. Come, I’ll dispose of thee Among a sisterhood of holy nuns. Stay not to question, for the watch is coming; Come, go, good Juliet. [Noise again.]—I dare no longer stay. Juliet. Go, get thee hence, for I will not away. [Exit Friar Lawrence.] What’s here? a cup, clos’d in my true love’s hand? Poison, I see, hath been his timeless end.— O churl! drunk all, and left no friendly drop To help me after?—I will kiss thy lips; Haply some poison yet doth hang on them, To make me die with a restorative. [Kisses him.] Thy lips are warm. 1 Watch. [Within] Lead, boy; which way? Juliet. Yea, noise? then I’ll be brief.—O happy dagger! [Snatching Romeo’s dagger.] This is thy sheath [Stabs herself]; there rest, and let me die. [Falls on Romeo’s body, and dies.] Enter Watch, with the Page of Paris Page. This is the place; there, where the torch doth burn. 1 Watch. The ground is bloody; search about the churchyard.

To accurately compare the passage from "Romeo and Juliet" and the painting described, let's analyze the provided statements:

  1. The painting shows Juliet kneeling next to Romeo’s body as Friar Laurence leaves the tomb.
  2. The painting shows Juliet as she grabs Romeo’s dagger and stabs herself.
  3. The painting shows Juliet about to try to drink the poison from Romeo’s cup, and the body of Paris is missing.
  4. The painting shows Juliet holding Romeo’s dagger, and the cup of poison is next to Romeo but not in his hand.

Based on the passage, Juliet finds Romeo dead and decides to kiss him, hoping to find poison on his lips. When she doesn’t find it, she grabs Romeo’s dagger and stabs herself. The mention of the cup indicates that it was in Romeo's hand when he died.

Given this context, the most accurate statement comparing the passage and the painting would be:

The painting shows Juliet holding Romeo’s dagger, and the cup of poison is next to Romeo but not in his hand.

This reflects Juliet’s action of taking the dagger and the detail that the cup of poison, though referenced in the passage, is not depicted as being in Romeo's hand in the suggested painting scenario.
