AB  - Considers Juliet's words in 2.1 ("Take all myself") as a performative utterance, applying J. L. Austin's speech act theory. Describes Juliet's utterance as a "take-ative," a subset of Austin's "performative" where the "speaker does not (or does not intend to) enact a performative successfully (and might not even recognise their utterance as performative) but is subsequently taken by another to have done so."
