In Shakespeare's Romeo And Juliet, 42 is the number of hours which Juliet's apparent 'death' is supposed to last. Friar Lawrence, giving her his vial of 'distilled liquor', tells her that after she drinks it she will appear to be dead, but that '... in this borrow'd likeness of shrunk death / Thou shalt continue two-and-forty hours, / And then awake as from a pleasant sleep.' (Act IV, Scene I).
