Asked by Julie

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

Nurse: O Lord! I could have stay’d here all the night
To hear good counsel: O! what learning is.
My lord, I’ll tell my lady you will come.

Romeo: Do so, and bid my sweet prepare to chide.

Nurse: Here, sir, a ring she bid me give you, sir.
Hie you, make haste, for it grows very late. [Exit.]

Romeo: How well my comfort is reviv’d by this!

Why does Romeo feel "reviv’d,” or comforted?

because he knows he will be seeing Juliet soon
because he is aware that Juliet is no longer upset

Because he knows he will be seeing Juliet soon.

The Nurse brings Juliet’s ring and says Juliet expects him to come; that reassurance — a promise of meeting and of Juliet’s continued love — revives Romeo’s comfort.
