The dancing being done, Romeo watched the place where the lady stood; and under favor of his masking habit, which might se which if he profaned by touching it, 'Good pilgrim,' answered the lady, 'your devotion shows by far too mannerly and too courtly: saints have hands, which pilgrims may touch, but kiss not.' 'Have not saints lips, and pilgrims too?' said Romeo. 'Ay,' said the lady, 'lips which they must use in prayer.' 'O then, my dear saint,' said Romeo, 'hear my prayer, and grant it, lest I despair.' In such like allusions they kissed when the lady was called away to her mother. And Romeo inquiring who her mother was, discovered that the lady whose peerless beauty he was so much struck with, was young Juliet, daughter and to the lord Capulet, the great enemy of the Montague’s. As little rest had Juliet, when she found that the gentleman that she had been talking with was Romeo and a Montague.
It was midnight and Romeo with his companions departed; but Romeo was soon gone unable to stay away from the house where he thought he had left his heart, he leaped the wall of an orchard which was at the back of Juliet's house. When Juliet appeared above at a window and she, leaning her cheek upon her hand She all this while thinking herself alone, fetched a deep sigh, and exclaimed: 'Ah me!' Romeo, enraptured to hear her speak, said softly, 'O Romeo, Romeo!' said she, 'wherefore art thou Romeo? Deny thy father, and refuse thy name, for my sake; or if thou wilt not, be but my sworn love, and I no longer will be a Capulet.' Romeo, having this encouragement, would have spoken but Juliet was still going on Romeo for being Romeo and a Montague, and wishing him some other name, or that he would put away that hated name, and for that name which was no part of himself, he should take all herself. At this loving word Romeo could no longer refrain, Juliet, alarmed to hear a man's voice in the garden and she was angry with him on the danger to which he had exposed himself by climbing the orchard walls, for if any of her kinsmen should find him there, it would be death to him, being a Montague. 'Alack,' said Romeo, 'there is more peril in your eye, than in twenty of their swords. Do you but look kind upon me, lady, and I am proof against their enmity. Better my life should be ended by their hate, than that hated life should be prolonged, to live without your love.' 'How came you into this place,' said Juliet, 'and by whose direction?' 'Love directed me,' answered Romeo: 'I am no pilot, yet wert thou as far apart from me, as that vast shore which is washed with the farthest sea, I should venture for such merchandise.
As Juliet was about to go Romeo begged her to stay as he thought it was urgent for her to exchange a vow of love with him that night, she said that she already had given him hers before he requested it; meaning, when he overheard her confession; but she would retract what she then bestowed, for the pleasure of giving it again, for her bounty was as infinite as the sea, and her love as deep. From this she was called away by her nurse, who slept with her, and thought it time for her to be in bed, for it was near to daybreak; but hastily returning, she said three or four words more to Romeo which ment that if his love was indeed honorable, and his purpose marriage, she would send a messenger to him tomorrow, to appoint a time for their marriage, when she would lay all her fortunes at his feet, and follow him as her lord through the world. While they were settling this point, Juliet was repeatedly called for by her nurse, and went in and returned, and went and returned again.
Romeo then decides to ask friar Lawrence whether he will marry Juliet and Him the day after, friar Lawrence questions him and his love for Rosaline, Romeo replies and says now he has love for Juliet and this may end the strife between all Montague’s and caplets. So Friar Lawrence agrees to marry them the next day, after the wedding ceremony The ceremony being over, Juliet went back to the Capulet house, where she stayed impatient for the coming of night, at which time Romeo promised to come and meet her in the orchard, where they had met the night before. Juliet had not been long married to Romeo and her farther came in and told her that she would marry Paris the next day; Juliet was furious at this and told her farther that she would not marry Paris the next day; this made her farther very angry.
Romeo was then told that he was to be banished from Verona which ment he had to move away and leave Juliet because of him killing tybalt, that night he sneaked into Juliet cells to say his farewells and promise him after he was allowed back he would comeback and find her.
In the play Romeo and Juliet we learn certain things about the characters we learn that Tybalt is a very hostile character and doesn’t appear to be very nice, we learn that Mercutio is very impatient and gets worked up very easily, and become troubled about little things but Mercutio can also be very Humorous. We can see from the play that lady Capulet is very caring and cares about Juliet greatly, also lord Capulet is a figure if authority he likes to know people respect that he is in charge. The two main characters in the play are Romeo and Juliet, we learn that Romeo is very impatient, and seems to be immature by the way he acts, but he can also alike Juliet be very passionate with his words.
In this scene it has a lot of significance on the rest of the play, the first thing is if tybalt hadn’t of killed mercutio then Romeo wouldn’t have got angry and killed tybalt and got banquished, which ment him and Juliet couldn’t stay together even though there love was meant to be star crossed, if Romeo hadn’t had to leave Verona him and Juliet maybe wouldn’t have died because they would be able to see each other. This scene also has significance on the Montague and Capulet family feud if this all hadn’t of happened and resulted in the death of Romeo and Juliet then the families would have decided to quit there quarrels and stop there feud for the sake of there Romeo and Juliet, as they realized a lot of this was there fault.
