What does the word exorbitant most closely mean as it is used in paragraph 4

I've never read what you're talking about, but I think it means something like real big, or too expensive. just something that means too much.

Explanation:

no explanation needed, although I would recommend putting the writing in the question as well as the problem

Usually it would mean unreasonably expensive.

But i don't know what the paragraph is about so i don't know if that would be correct

the tone of the passage is sympathetic to the forbidden love of romeo and juliet. the nurse plays a significant role in the play. she is responsible for making their meeting again possible. additionally, there is a sense of warning in the choice of words of the nurse. she seems to be authoritative when she calls romeo "scurvy knave", and at the same time the fact that she addresses to him as "sir" reflects respect. the nurse is "vexed", this word describes her confused state of mind. on the one hand, she finds romeo a fine and eloquent man, but on the other, it is thought that man's nature forces men to try to trick women.
