    Juliet shouts out 'fortune' but what she's really experiencing is misfortune. She adds that fortune as fickle intending to mock it hoping that there was some chance that the situation would change.

    Juliet is caught crying and she tells her mother that she is not well which of course, is the truth but by telling her mother this, she covers up her misery.
