Where I have learn’d me to repent the sin
Of disobedient opposition
To you and your behests, and am enjoin’d
By holy Laurence to fall prostrate here,
And beg your pardon: pardon, I beseech you!
Henceforward I am ever ruled by you.
– William Shakespeare
Romeo and Juliet, Act 4, Scene 2. Juliet repents her disobedience to her father and assures him that she will obey him and marry Paris. But the reality is very different, something the audience is already aware of. Juliet is lying to her father here. We know that she has joined with Friar Laurence in a plan to drink a sleeping potion to fake her death. This is to get out of marrying Paris, which she has absolutely no intention of going through with.
