He begins his speech reminding the 2usdience of his senility and a tedious tale” the tale's complexity: “my short date of breath is not so long a (Vili 238-278) He uses his decfepltude to gain pity and seem benign. Throughout his monologue, he blames Old Capulet: "You, to remove that siege of grief from her, betrothed and would have her married perforce’ and a crazed and suicidal Juliet: > “And with wild looks bid me devise some mean to rid her from this second marriage, A Feterrenrt to you thasd, 2 YD Te or in my cell there would she kill herself He mentions Friar John’s unfortunate Wace tha = eS ame luck; “Friar John, was stayed by accident'\and understates how he cowardly flees the B\* - poy bee tomb, abandoning Juliet to avoid appearing involved: “a noise did scare me from the tomb, and she, too desperate, would not go with me but, as it seems, did violence on law? he herself” He also notes Juliet’s nurse',participation in the situation: “Her nurse is privy.” He finishes by swearing on his li sacrificed some hour before his time unto the rigor of \- iis old age once again, He does not truly want to be chastened but hollowly offers fan ra << his life to demonstrate his innocence.
