Answer 1

thats the second question about a romeo and juliet essay i saw today. u people might be in the same class. but yea the guy above me is probably right.

Answer 2

If I had to guess, I'd say that she means that dying by drinking Romeo's poison will leave her body and her beauty intact, as opposed to dying by other means.

Answer 3

Perhaps Juliet meant that Death was the "restorative," the remedy of her pain. She's saying she'll die and be reunited with her love, Romeo, therefore relieving the pain of grief and heartbreak.

A restorative is something that heals, or (obviously) restores, like medication.

Answer 4

to make me die with a restorative.

it is her dying.   and resorative mean to restore.  So restore her with death.  Thats what it means.  to restore her soul and love with death is more specific but thats the main answer.  hope this helps!  :] :]

Answer 5

She hopes that he has poision in him already so it won't be as hard to kill herself, knowing he's gonna die too.
