Asked by Julie

Read the excerpt from Act V, scene iii of Romeo and Juliet.

Juliet: Go, get thee hence, for I will not away. [Exit FRIAR LAURENCE.]
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.]

her tendency to act without forethought

Juliet’s immediate decision to kiss Romeo in the hope of ingesting poison shows impulsive, passionate action rather than a calm or carefree attitude.
