In the balcony scene, where they declare their love for each other, Romeo sees Juliet on her balcony and declares his love for her. When she sees Romeo she is surprised but he reassures her. She declares her love for him. Romeo climbs up onto her balcony to kiss her good night and they agree to marry in the next day.
In act 2 scene 2, Romeo appears very much in love “o it is my lady, o it is my love”. He pays Juliet lots of compliments. He talks about her eyes and compares them to stars. “Two of the finest stars in all the heaven” Shakespeare showed love by using good techniques like comparing everything to brightness not darkness as he says “it is the east and Juliet is the dun. Arise, fair sun, and kill the envious moon”
Love is shown the most in act 2 scenes 2 as this is the scene they declare their love for one another.
Juliet shows she is wrestling with the idea of falling in love with the enemy it shows this when she says “O Romeo, Romeo wherefore thy Romeo? Deny thy father and refuse thy name; or if thou wilt not, be a Capulet this means she will give up her name to be a Montague with Romeo. Although Juliet is confused Romeo on the other hand is love struck and full of romance.
It shows us this when he says “ I take thee at thy word call me but love and ill be new baptised; henceforth I never will be Romeo.
Both Romeo and Juliet believe love can do certain thing
When Romeo say “with love’s light wings did I o’eperch these walls, for stony limits cannot hold love out and what love can do, that dares love attempt: therefore thy kinsmen are no stop to me”. This shows nobody cab stop him from loving Juliet. Juliet says “if they do see thee they will murder thy” this means if they are caught together one of them shall be killed. Romeo reassures her saying “I have night’s cloak to hide me from their eyes. And but thou love me, let them find me here; my life were better ended by their hate, than death prorogued, wanting of thy love.
Towards the end of act 2 scene 2 both of the characters express their reservations about power and rapidity of their love
When Romeo says, “what shall I swear by? Juliet replies “do not swear at all or if thou wilt, swear by thy gracious self. Which is the god of idolatry, and Ill believe thee. Juliet is saying that she will only believe how much he loves her if he doesn’t swear by anything else but swears by himself.
I think the love shown between Romeo and Juliet show they would do anything for each other, and also would do anything to be with each other.
