I am going to write about Act II Scene Ii, because I think this is the most fascinating and striking scene. The feast has just taken place and Romeo has fallen in love with Juliet.

Romeo then starts to list all her physical features and listens as ache begins to speak, "Two of the fairest stars in all the heaven, having some business, do entreat her eyes. To twinkle in their spheres till they return. What if her eyes were there, they in her head?" Romeo does not think that Juliet is there, and she doesn't realise that Romeo is around either, and speaks aloud of Romeo.

"Wherefore art though Romeo", she says out aloud. Just here she explains that she is disturbed that he comes from the enemy family, the Montague's. She only just realised this at the feast.
