At the beginning of the scene, Juliet seemed frustrated about the situation that she and Romeo were in. After that, it seems to me, they were not holding back when they speak of love. They talked about how they felt about each other, both physically and emotionally. They said how important their love is to both of them, even to the point where they'd rather be killed than experience unrequited love.

I understand were your coming from the feeling Juliet is expressing during the scene she is in. I also like the way you elaborated a lot on how not only what Juliet felt, but what Romeo felt also. It is very unusual to mention the feelings of a masculine character, I usually do not read many texts with the feelings of a male character. GREAT JOB

Thanks. But when you talked about the masculine character's feelings, it is not as hard to elaborate on Romeo's feelings because it is a play character and it is meant to be seen and it is also easy as elaborating on what you feel. But I do agree that there are not a lot of texts on the masculine character's feelings.

I agree with you that Romeo is reckless with his declarations of love. He just seems to blurt it out as if it's nothing even though, he probably does mean it with all his heart as they were meant together. But his confessions are sudden and on the same night as they met, which is really quick to say that you love someone. Juliet is more reserved with her vows and shows a more realistic nature as she worries for Romeo even when he's not worried for himself. Although, I say she is reserved, I do think Juliet's confession of love, which came later in the scene and her immense trust in Romeo, is also very reckless. Just as Romeo is blinded by love enough to go into an enemy's territory and risk death for a glimpse or conversation with Juliet, Juliet is also nearly as blind since she trusts her family's sworn enemy's heir to not try and murder her in her own house and his wish to be wedded to her.

Juliet is soft with love, being aware of her own feelings. Since she just met Romeo, she does not want to give away her feelings so easily. ON the other hand, Romeo is just very straightforward, being reckless about love.

I find this interpretation to be incredibly interesting and intriguing. With the comparison of Juliet being trapped in a prison waiting for Romeo to free her, I believe that this is why Juliet was so willing to follow Friar Lawrence's plan in having Romeo come from Mantua to fetch her and for the both of them to run away together. It must've been devastating for Juliet to wake up and find her beloved dying instead of saving her when she had placed so much hope into him.

In the balcony scene the feeling of love and anger are the mostly expressed. Juliet is the one that talks most cautiously about love. She told Romeo that if they rush their love a bad future lies ahead for them and so foreshadowing their fates in the end. Unlike Romeo who wanted their love to start quickly, Juliet wanted the relationship be slow and easy.

Out of the two lovers, Juliet is most definitely levelheaded one. She is cautious, careful, and true to her words of affection because she is subtly displaying her love for Romeo. Juliet worries for Romeo's safety as he has treaded in dangerous enemy territory, her territory and her kinsmen would gladly run a sword right through him. Also, she shows her deep longing for this relationship to work out which she displayed when she scolded Romeo for trying to swear upon an inconstant moon unless his love proves to be similar or swearing all together so suddenly lest his love prove to be like the lightening which is there and gone. So overall, Juliet is conscientious but meaningful about her love.

As i said before, Juliet first gave love to Romeo without him even asking for it, however, now he is asking for it and can't bear waiting. He obviously loves her but he has trouble considering the consequences of his actions. Juliet on the other hand is being very calm about things. She explains how she wants to take things slowly to make everything special, but, I'm not sure if Romeo realizes this.

Juliet is a little shy about her feelings, unaware of her love that will fall upon Romeo. Just like how the first time they met at the Capulet's party, Juliet stayed away from him a little, not wanting to kiss him just yet. For Romeo, he loved her at first sight, being desperate for her after the party. He very much loved her but when he found out that she was a Capulet, he started to worry about what would happen if he wasn't able to meet her. At the balcony scene, Juliet really wanted to see Romeo saying, "Romeo, Romeo, wherefore art thou Romeo?" Not realizing Romeo right in front her and he was walking around, hiding, she was surprised to see him there. (Act 2, Scene 2) I feel that Juliet is more cautious about love because she worried that her family will hate Romeo because of their enemy name, Montague. In the beginning where they met each other the first time, Juliet wasn't very direct with Romeo, but later on, their feelings became even.

Romeo expressed Juliet's beauty in a very unique way using figurative language. Juliet, on the other hand, accepted the fact that Romeo is a Montague, however, she did not accept or view him as an enemy. Juliet was a bit more cautious, as she is afraid of Romeo being found and murdered by her own family. Romeo, however, was growing impatient, not to mention that he was not exactly thinking of the consequences for their actions. Romeo knew what he wanted; Juliet, and nothing else seemed to matter as much for the young Montague.

In the balcony scene, Romeo was more bold about expressing his love toward Juliet, while Juliet was still a bit shy since she just met him.

Juliet's mind was filled with Romeo and he was all she was thinking about even after the party. She knew it was love at first sight and despite the fact that they found out that their families were enemies, she would rather not be a Capulet to be with Romeo. Although she was a bit daring in her mind, she was still shy when Romeo was expressing how much he loved her through his words and actions.

I believe that out of the two lovers in Shakespeare’s play, Juliet was the most cautious, but only in the beginning. Although she was cautious at first, her love for Romeo began to develop and strengthen as the play progressed. In my opinion, Juliet was the most cautious because of the discomfort thought of her being a Capulet and Romeo being a Montague. Unlike Juliet, Romeo was more willingly able to express his love despite the differences.

In Act 2, Scene 2, Romeo speaks with a desperate tone of voice. He sounds as though nothing can separate them, responding silently to everything Juliet says. Romeo would do anything for Juliet—such as climbing a wall to see her. On the other hand, Juliet expresses some tone of worry because she is a Capulet and Romeo is a Montague. She is afraid of hiding their relationship because she knows that her father arranged a relationship for her and another man.

In Act 2 Scene 2, Romeo and Juliet were both uneasy about what was going on, to the point where they were speaking their minds uncontrollably. They were speaking with their emotions mentally and some physical action. They loved each other so much that they would even swear by their names of being a Montague or a Capulet. They were bounded by the strings of love which pushed aside reality and created their own world that would seize to exist.

In the balcony scene, Romeo, a Montague, went over Capulet property. When Juliet notices Romeo is below her balcony, she is startled. Juliet seems extremely worried that Romeo will be caught. She questions Romeo hastily, indicating he needs to leave immediately. Romeo calmly replies saying, “I have a night’s cloak to hide me from their sight.” From this, you can tell Juliet is obviously more cautious than Romeo; Romeo is a risk taker in love, who would do anything to be with Juliet.

I think that the feelings Romeo and Juliet were expressing on the balcony were sadness, desire, and anger. They were sad because Romeo was a Montague and Juliet was a Capulet and they were supposed to be enemies. They were expressing desire because they want to be with each other, especially since they can't be together. I think that Juliet speaks more cautiously than Romeo because she was unsure of what to do in her situation. She knew her father would never allow it and it would never work but she desperately wanted to be with him. Romeo doesn't care what happens he just wants to be with her so he is more bold while speaking about his love for Juliet.

In the beginning, Juliet is caught off guard by Romeo, leaving her with feelings of confusion. When she realizes it is her love, those change to happiness. They share a strong, all-consuming love for each other. Juliet feels she might be coming off too forward, but does not care. She is definitely more cautious because she is a very innocent, pure person. However, her undying love by Romeo (she describes her bounty to be as boundless as the sea) overtakes her feelings of cautiousness. Romeo is simply in love, not being cautious at all by taking the risk of being caught by her guards and climbing the high orchard walls.

At the begining of the scene Juliet was devistated at the fact that Romeo had to belong to the Montegue's. On the other hand, Romeo was devoted to be with his new love and he will stop at nothing to be with her. Juliet later realizes her love wandering about and she became worried. Juliet warned Romeo to leave for if they find him the sentence would be murder. As always Romeo was too blinded by love to realize the dangers around him. Juliet speaks more cautiously about love because she tries to keep the fair Montegue safe from harms way.

At the beginning, Juliet was sorta upset that Romeo was a montague, though she still loved him. Romeo was so in love with Juliet that he would do anything. Though, Juliet doesn't want Romeo to get caught and get murder.

The differece is thatt Romeo is much more blunt about his feelings. And Juilet is a bit more careful about her feelings and worries about Romeo being a Montague and she being a Capulet.

Juliet was devastated when she found out when Romeo was a Montague. Romeo was so crazy in love with Juliet that he’ll lose this have “Romeo” to be with Juliet. Juliet later realizes her love wandering about and becomes worried. Juliet told Romeo to leave or he’ll be found and sentence to death, but Romeo didn’t want to leave Juliet.

Both wanted to be with each other but Romeo was a Montague and Juliet a Capulet which caused them distress because of how their family are against each other ( the long standing fued). Juliet also was hesitating to be with Romeo. While Romeo was straight forward. Juliet is afraid that she has just given the death sentence to Romeo if her kinsman figured out he was here. Romeo did not care that he was going to be with Juliet while Juliet is scared for his death.

In the balcony scene, Romeo and Juliet expressed frustration and despair. Juliet was frustrated because Romeo was a Montague and then she was in despair due to not being able to be with Romeo. But because of love she's willing to no longer be a Capulet and this is why I believe Juliet speaks more cautiously about love.

Even though Romeo is secretly stalking her and overhearing her conversation. Still, after Juliet found out that Romeo was there she was excited as a new born baby. Although, Montague and the Capulets doesn't get along. Both Romeo and Juliet are having a great relationship

On the Balcony scene I feel that the feelings of love and frustration are mostly expressed. Romeo and Juliet are so in love with each other, but can’t help feel that who they are complicate things. Juliet is more cautious about her feelings for Romeo. She is scared that their love will start the feud between their families, and that somebody will end up dead. When she first sees Romeo in Capulet territory she worries for his safety, and on the other hand Romeo acts too recklessly. Romeo is so in love he just can’t get enough of Juliet.

The feelings that Romeo and Juliet express was love in a very difficult way. The love between them was inspiring. The character that speaks more cautiously was Romeo because he says those words that makes Juliet jump into his hands and just love him from that point on. Romeo would keep on making Juliet fall in love with him. Even though that they both live in different houses they both find a way to keep between themselves or else their parents would get into a fight with each other.

In the balcony scene, in my opinion, Juliet seems to be really confused, frustrated/angered, and at the same time deeply in love. She was basically a emotional wreck at that point. Deciding if what she's doing is right or not. Thinking of the cause of what might happen if everyone found out about her and Romeo's relationship. But the love Juliet has for Romeo, is so strong that she's willing to not be a Capulet, just to be with him. And as for Romeo, in his world its basically being with Juliet. Nothing else matters. The only thing that matters is basically just them two, Romeo and Juliet. He's so in love that he can't wait to see or talk to her. He vents to Juliet about his love for her, how outspoken he is.

I think that Romeo displays a love that is very deep with Juliet. He doesn't seem to care about anything that may happen with them like if they get caught talking with each other or the fact that they are from opposing families. Juliet on the other hand is very worried about them getting caught. She is also very confused on what she should do because she has so much love in her.

In Act 2 , Juliet seems to feel the same amount of love, but she is more wary of Romeo's claims. Romeo profusely confesses his love and often spouts lengthy love confessions. He swears by the moon and tells Juliet that she is the fairest and most beautiful, that he has never seen a more perfect girl, even though just a mere act before he was lamenting over Rosalina and how he is lost without her. I think Juliet would be more wary but she and Romeo both seem like really emotional characters, so I think that that very emotion drives this entire play into circles. They are both extrememly dramatic and emotional people.

I think that Juliet is more cautious about love because she wonders why the Capulets and Montagues are discriminating one another. She does not care where Romeo came from and only focuses on his character. She does not like Romeo sneaking up just to see her, as her "true love" could be killed any minute.

In this scene, I find that other than than how absurd it was that Romeo and Juliet fell in love so deeply, so quickly, Romeo is definitely the more brash of the two, and Juliet the more level-headed. He scales walls with no regard towards the possibility of being caught, all for the sake of seeing Juliet, and Juliet chides him for it. Juliet mentions how quick their love was and brings up the animosity between the Capulets and Montagues. Romeo gladly swears his love by the moon and such, while Juliet says that he shouldn't swear at all because of all inconsistent the moon is. However, towards the end of this scene, I believe that Juliet becomes a bit more open and also a bit more reckless as well. She says that she would gladly give up being a Capulet so she could freely be with Romeo. She also continues to go back to Romeo even when the Nurse has been repetitively call for her, and she is the first to bring up marriage. Thus, although Romeo has proved to be the more brash of the two with how he risks his life without much thought, Juliet eventually gives in to the intensity of her emotions and both of them pretty much gladly throw caution to the wind in the end.

In the balcony scene Romeo was very into their love for each other and he seemed like he did not really care that he was in love with his family's sworn enemy. He was just so in love that he did not really care and just wanted to be with her. In the beginning of this scene Juliet was talking about how she loved Romeo, but he was a Montague. Then, Juliet was the one that seemed more cautious about her love from Romeo. She ended up being okay with the idea because she wanted to marry Romeo.

Romeo expresses his love more deeply than Juliet because as he's speaking, he literally says everything that he truly means in his heart while Juliet is being careful by not saying everythingike Romeo. I think Romeo is the most serious in this love because he was the one who told the nurse that they would marry. He was the one who came up with the idea.

In the balcony scene, Juliet is more cautious about Romeo, his actions and of what the consequences might be if he was seen at Juliet's home. Romeo was too much into speaking his 'faith' to Juliet that he did not really care or see what deep trouble he could possibly get himself and his family into. Throughout the balcony scene , Romeo and Juliet express their love and desire to be with each other. At the same time, Juliet is being very cautious about what could happen should Romeo be caught by her family and their feelings be found out by their families.

In the balcony scene,the feeling of love and anger are the mostly expressed because Juliet is the one that talks most cautiously about love. She told Romeo that if they rush their love a bad future lies ahead for them and so this foreshadows their fates in the end. Romeo who wanted their love to start quickly, thus giving Juliet the upper hand on who was more prepared and wise.

In the balcony scene, Romeo feels excited that he had found his love for Juliet. He could wait to see her. Juliet in the other hand feels that she shouldn't be falling in love with Romeo all because he is a Montague. It doesn't matter who it is, if you fall in love for someone you go for it. Romeo speaks more cautiously about love because he went over to the Juliet's house so he can talk to her face to face and to see if she still had those feelings for him.

The different feelings that the two share with each other is as in how Juliet in the play describes it as a "drunk love", and also a bit of caution due to the fact that Romeo is in the Capulet estate. The character that I believe displays their love the most cautious would be Juliet. The reason why I say that she's pronounces it the most gingerly is because she's worried about that fact that this is possibly "drunk love" instead of an actual dedication to each other instead of it being a love that only would last a day.

Juliet is confused and frustrated about how her only love comes from her only nemesis so she thinks more carefully. Then Romeo comes and they talk and makes Juliet change her mind and falls in love with Romeo even more without thinking twice about their families. I think Juliet speaks more cautiously because in the beginning she thinks for a while about their love.

Juliet speaks more cautiously about love during the balcony scene. The only reason Romeo knows that Juliet loves him is because he overheard her conversation with herself on her balcony. When Juliet asks Romeo how he got into the orchard, he goes on a rant about how love gave him wings. Also, his overhearing of her private thoughts caused much embarrassment to Juliet. She is more cautious about love because she is so young; Romeo, on the other hand, believes himself to be an expert on the subject because of his previous infatuation with Rosaline. Romeo is more free-spirited about life in general than Juliet, which causes him to be very outspoken about love.

In my opinion Juliet speaks more cautiously about love than Romeo because of the line. Romeo says "Lady, by yonder blessed moon I swear ..." Juliet then responds "O, swear not by the moon, the inconstant moon, That monthly changes in her circled orb, Lest that thy love prove likewise variable." She tells him not to swear by anything because she wants him to be loyal in his love. It is because of this that I think Juliet speaks the most cautiously.

Juliet was more cautious because when she was talking with Romeo, he went all out expressing his love for her. Romeo kept on talking about how much he loves her and how he can't stand to be without her, then proposes whereas Juliet was confused about her feelings. She thought it was wrong to have feelings for the enemy and was trying to express as little as possible, but with Romeo going on and on, she got brainwashed and was like YOLO! And went for Romeo.
