When the Nurse finally reveals the truth, Juliet immediately chides Romeo over his pretense of peace and contradictory violence. She then recants the accusation, and asks the Nurse, "Shall I speak ill of him that is my husband?" (3.2.97). Overcome, Juliet laments Romeo’s banishment, and claims that she would rather have both her parents killed then see Romeo suffer such indignity.
