Answer :
"To fall prostrate" means to fall down at someone's feet. Usually this is done to someone in a position of higher power to show respect or grovel for something. Juliet is falling at her father's feet for "forgiveness" about how she acted earlier, but the double meaning is that the Friar also gave her the potion that is going to make her fall down as if she is dead.
Juliet's statement has a double meaning because it shows her humiliation in asking her father for forgiveness while showing submission to her father's wishes.
Why does Juliet feel humiliated?
- Because she has to renounce her own will.
- Because she is not heard.
- Because she is forced into an unwanted marriage.
- Because she is oppressed by the familiar.
This moment comes when Juliet is forced by her parents to accept Parris' proposal. However, she is already married to Romeo.
Juliet and the Friar have a plan so that she can escape this marriage and meet Romeo. For this plan to work, she needs to prostrate herself and ask her father for forgiveness. This for her means humiliation and submission.
