In this scene, Romeo and Juliet bid each other farewell after spending their first night together as husband and wife in Juliet's bedchamber. Romeo has been banished to Mantua for killing Tybalt, and the audience knows this scene will be the last time they see each other alive (of course, Juliet is technically alive when Romeo encounters her lifeless body in the Capulet crypt, but he doesn't know that). As they reluctantly part, Romeo reassures his wife that they will see each other again soon, but Juliet fears otherwise, and tells her husband of a chilling vision:
O God, I have an ill-divining soul!
Methinks I see thee, now thou art below,
As one dead in the bottom of a tomb.
This exchange, like several others in the play, foreshadows the tragic end that the audience has known since the Prologue is imminent. As it turns out, Juliet's vision is sadly prophetic; she does, in fact, eventually find Romeo dead in a tomb. When Romeo encounters her body, he believes she is dead, and kills himself out of grief. Juliet awakes to discover him dead and takes her own life.
