Explanation:

When Juliet's family wants to force her to marry Paris, she goes to see Laurence for guidance on what she should do. Juliet was already married to Romeo and planned to be with him as soon as possible.

At that moment, Friar Laurence offers Juliet a small bottle and advises Juliet to drink the contents of the bottle. The vial contained a type of remradio that would simulate Juliet's death, so her family would be deceived and she would be able to escape and meet Romeo. The Friar encourages Juliet, speaking that she should not fear death if it is necessary for Juliet to be with her beloved Romeo.
