How does the nurse prolong news in act 2 scene 5?

The nurse prolongs the news in Act 2 Scene 5 of Romeo and Juliet by engaging in a lengthy

conversation with Juliet about her upcoming wedding to Paris. She avoids

directly delivering the news of Romeo's banishment, instead choosing to

describe in great detail the preparations for the wedding, including the

dress that Juliet will wear and the guests that will be invited. This

prolongs the suspense for Juliet and the audience, building

tension and heightening the emotional impact when the news is eventually

revealed.
