The writer use the order of character's appearance to extant the story and make the story dramatic. Firstly, Romeo appeared into the Capulet's garden by occasions. Secondly, Juliet appeared on the balcony just after when Romeo hidden underneath her balcony. Finally Juliet started to talk with herself and then Romeo entered. The appearance order of the characters does affect the views from the audiences. After they both have exchanged their expressions of devotion during their conversation, the Nurse calls Juliet from the balcony. Juliet leaves, but returns momentarily. This moment from Juliet shows to the audience that she loved Romeo by heart as she came back to see Romeo again immediately. Afterwards they agree to marry. Juliet promises to send Romeo a messenger the next day so that she would be able to receive the arrangements of the wedding from Romeo. The scene concludes that Romeo leaves to seek the advice of Friar Laurence, who is the father from the church during day breaks. As I have already looked through the whole story, I can easily find out that there is a great sequence of scenes.~ Each scene is step by step developed from the last scene. For example, after Romeo decides to attend the masquerade ball and fell in love with Juliet at Art1, Romeo goes outside and sneaks into the Capulet courtyard and overhears Juliet on her balcony vowing her love to him in Act 2. I think Act 2, scene 2 is the most romantic part in the whole story, because there were only Romeo and Juliet in the Capulet’s orchard. The atmosphere in that scene is absolutely brought out by the message “love” which is what the main point of the story. I find that the well structure of the story is one of the main factors of how Shakespeare makes this scene dramatic.
On the one side, the careful use of language from the writer in act2, scene2 does help the actors to express their message from this scene. Looking through all the speech from Romeo, it seems that Romeo’s words spoken in the tone of poetic and it shows to the audience that he is a romantic young men and he was wooing with a young girl. For example the metaphor in line 4 and 6 'Arise, fair sun, and kill the envious moon……..that thou her maid art far more than she.' stresses that Romeo think Juliet is a 'maid' because Juliet is a chaste maid. For the romantic side of Romeo, the simile in 'Two of the fairest stars in all the heaven.' in line 15 proof that Romeo have a very good imagination as he linked Juliet's eyes with beautiful stars. Furthermore the other metaphor in line8' her vestal livery is but sick and green' determines the love form Romeo to Juliet as Romeo describes Juliet is ' green- sickness'. 'green-sickness' is something that occurs to an unmarried girl as Juliet was still unmarried yet. However the writer seems to be tried to make this scene easier for the audience as he change the language of Romeo from poetic into more simple and directly. For example, the reputation in 'It is my lady, O, it is my love' in line 10 simply shows to the audience that what Romeo was thinking about.
On the other hand, I find that Juliet is speaking in the same tone as Romeo does. Juliet's speeches contain some poetic element as Romeo does but distinctly I find that Juliet's language tent to be sad and sorrow. For example, the metaphor in line 34 'Deny thy father and refuse thy name' shows us that Juliet dislike the surnames of Montague and Capulet because she asked Romeo to given up his surname, or if he won't do that but swear his pure love to Juliet, then Juliet would like to given up her surname for him. However we can see Juliet was fancying Romeo already before they both expressed their love to each others. For example, the reputation in line 33' O Romeo, Romeo! Wherefore art thou Romeo?' proofs that Juliet was missing Romeo after their first meeting in Act1. Although Romeo did hearing what she have said about him because he was hiding just underneath Juliet's balcony, but Juliet didn't know what Romeo is and she was just speaking to herself. For this point of view, it clearly shows to the audience that not only Romeo fancy Juliet, but Juliet does fancy Romeo as well. The metaphor in 48 'And for that name which is no part of thee.' proof that once again, Juliet (who still without knowing that Romeo is listening) asks Romeo to given up his name.

In act 2, scene 2, Shakespeare uses language to describe Romeo’s deep love for Juliet. Now we know that he have used similes, metaphors, personifications to express the emotions of Romeo and Juliet during their conversation. But when I looked through their dialogue, I felt that Romeo did not really care about anything when he spoke to Juliet in Act2, scene2, he was only focusing on love and marriage. Unlike Romeo, Juliet was realism because she had observed the feud between their families and their surname would not allow them to link with 'love'. For example Juliet asked Romeo a simple question 'By whose direction found'st thou out this place' in line 79, she tried to find out that how did Romeo get into her garden. But Romeo did not seem be answering Juliet's question as he given out a passionate answer 'by love, who first did prompt me to inquire' in line 81.
.Shakespeare makes Act2, scene2 dramatic and significant for the whole 'Romeo and Juliet’ story, Shakespeare provides intense moments between happiness and sorrow inside this scene. We can find there are happiness during their conversation because they both enjoyed their meeting in Act2, scene 2; on the other side we can find sorrow and contrast inside this scene while Juliet keep repeating the feud between their families. Also Act2, scene2 justifies the love between Romeo and Juliet in which mainly affect the future direction of the whole story.
