Juliet is speaking to Father Lawrence in these lines. She makes a fool of Paris, insisiting that Father Lawrence give her real advice.... as she is already married. If he can't, she will take her own life, as she will not be married to two men. Juliet's words are true.... her threat impetuous, because for all of the sense she reveals, she also reveals herself to be unthinking because she refuses to reveal her secret.
