Romeo and Juliet
by William Shakespeare

JULIET.

Three words, dear Romeo, and good night indeed.

If that thy bent of love be honourable,

Thy purpose marriage, send me word tomorrow,

By one that I’ll procure to come to thee,

Where and what time thou wilt perform the rite;

And all my fortunes at thy foot I’ll lay,

And follow thee my lord throughout the world.

They show that Juliet is planning to marry Romeo.

Her offer to have him send word about marriage and to “follow thee my lord throughout the world” moves the plot forward toward their secret betrothal, escalating the central conflict.
