JULIET
Ay me! what news? why dost thou wring thy hands?
NURSE
Ah, well-a-day! he's dead, he's dead, he's dead!
We are undone, lady, we are undone!
Alack the day! he's gone, he's kill'd, he's dead!
JULIET
Can heaven be so envious?
JULIET
What storm is this that blows so contrary?
Is Romeo slaughter'd, and is Tybalt dead?
My dear-loved cousin, and my dearer lord?
Then, dreadful trumpet, sound the general doom!
For who is living, if those two are gone?

Juliet is asking the nurse about the news she has heard about Romeo. The nurse is replying that Romeo is dead, and that their secret will be exposed. Juliet is asking why Heaven would have to be jealous of the special feelings that Romeo and Juliet had for each other.
In the last part, she is kind of blowing steam. She is asking what point is there for living if her cousin, Tybalt, and her lover, Romeo are dead.

Juliet .... Why are life so fickle and cruel
that Rome and Tybalt are now dead?
I loved my cousin, and my dear lord
Trumpets should play a song of death
how can we live, if they are gone?
In nutshell Juliet is approached by the Nurse who informs her of Romeos death. Juliet seeing the nurse knows that the message she is bringing is not good by the way she wrings her hands. The nurse talks about how their life is torn apart not that the two men are dead and they wish the day to end so to end the pain. Juliet wonders why when life is good and she has love that life can be cruel and take that happiness away. Juliet wants to know why life can be that way. how can two men die like that and cries that life is over for her and that she can not live now that the two men are dead.

OK, here's what they're basically saying:
Juliet: What's up? Why do you look all sad and nervous?
Nurse: Oh, no! He's dead! He's dead! He's dead! It's all over for us, Juliet. He's gone! He's killed! He's dead!!!
Juliet: Does somebody up there totally hate me or what?
Juliet: What's going on here? Is Tybalt dead, or is it Romeo? I love my cousin, and I really love my boyfriend Romeo. Tell me and get it over with- who's still alive if those two are dead?

It really isn't very obscure. The nurse is reporting to Juliet the result of the brawl in the street that left Tybalt and Mercutio dead, and Romeo forced into exile.

Juliet had married her Romeo and had made plans to run away with him.
The nurse informs Juliet that Romeo has killed her cousin in a street fight, and since street fighting has just been declared punishable by death, she knows her world, Romeo, is over and so, blames heaven for betraying her and declares that her world is empty as if Romeo is not in her world then no world exists.

Um... Okay. It sounds straightforward enough.
JULIET
Hey, what's up? Why do you look so upset?
NURSE
Oh man? Oh man! Your boyfriend is dead. All our plans are ruined because your boyfriend is dead.
JULIET
Oh God Why???
JULIET
Everything is ruined now.
With Romeo & Tybalt dead,
my two favorite people in the world,
Life just aint worth living anymore.
Without them, I can't go on.
That's the gist of it. If you want specifics on any of this drop me a line... but I'm no expert at this.

Romeo is speaking about how acceptable Juliet is in death and how terrible it really is that she is useless. he's likening it to such oxymorons as a damned saint, an honorable villain, etc. the following is one and a 0.5 of his strains straightened out into prose. it really is not that complicated. replaced into ever a e book containing such vile count number so truly certain? it really is not any longer that complicated, you in elementary words ought to shift a pair values round. rather of prizing direct, universal speech, Romeo speaks in sweeping metaphor as an example his frustration and love. he's about to kill himself. As a reader, you don't need to "translate;" you do ought to comprehend what is going on plot-sensible and how he as a personality is feeling as his language exhibits. he's at odds, at a loss for words, indignant, and impatient. He won't be able to imagine this by ability of in any respect. He in elementary words can experience that his new, youthful bride is useless and to him, it really is the proper of each little thing. The extra Shakespeare you examine, the less difficult it turns into, notwithstanding it really is sluggish going at first. Shakespeare tied truly some coaching about his characters into their language. examine him with persistence and care and it turns right into a lot less stressful.
