So Romeo would, were he not Romeo called, Retain that dear perfection which he owes Without that title.” (Act II, Scene II) Juliet is concerned because Romeo is a Montague and they are the Capulet’s enemies. She states only his name is her enemy, not the person.

Romeo reveals himself, agreeing to forsake the name Romeo if he can have her love. Juliet warns him that, as a Montague, he’ll be killed if he’s spotted with her, but Romeo doesn’t care. After much discussion, the two swear their love for each other and agree to be married.

In the play Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare, the mood of the balcony scene in Act Two is one of excitement, expectation and a little fear on the part of the audience. In terms of the mood of the characters, Romeo is entranced by having fallen in love with a new girl (having quickly forgotten about the old!)

act two

Here, in the famous balcony scene, Romeo and Juliet reveal their love to each other, and at Juliet’s suggestion, they plan to marry. Shakespeare uses light and dark imagery in this scene to describe the blossoming of Romeo and Juliet’s romance.

Romeo says, ‘But, soft! What light through yonder window breaks? It is the east, and Juliet is the sun. ‘ When Romeo sees Juliet, he feels hope; it is as if the sun is rising.

She’s embarrassed because he has heard her say she loves him. After exchanging vows of love in scene II, Juliet says, “I have no joy of this contact to-night.” What do you think she means by this? She doesn’t believe Romeo means it.

Since Romeo is in love throughout the entire play, I think an appropriate symbol for him is something that is symbolic of love. You could choose a regular, nothing fancy, Valentine’s Day heart. It is so symbolic of love to the point that the heart shape is incorporated into jewelry and candy.

Romeo is the son and heir of Montague and Lady Montague. A young man of about sixteen, Romeo is handsome, intelligent, and sensitive. Though impulsive and immature, his idealism and passion make him an extremely likable character.

Romeo had to be characterized as unusually impetuous, even for a young man. Everything in the play has to happen within a limited time frame, and Romeo is the instigator. He sees and falls madly in love with Juliet in a matter of minutes–or seconds. He also forgets Rosaline within a short time.

Juliet seems less impulsive and more realistic than Romeo. Romeo quickly changes the object of his affection from Rosaline to Juliet, and, despite the danger, he dares to go to Juliet’s house to declare his love even though he just met her.
