Scene Two Romantics

My favorite scene in act two of Romeo and Juliet is the balcony scene. This scene is my favorite because i love the way they speak to one another. The way Shakespeare wrote it was so poetic and romantic but yet it was still funny at parts. In this scene Romeo cannot stand to be away from Juliet so he climbs up to her balcony and starts speaking to her. At first Romeo is talking softly so Juliet does not here him. She starts talking about how she loves Romeo, when she finds him on her balcony. They talk for a while and they decide they will wed the next afternoon. I think this scene will affect both Romeo and Juliet greatly. I think this will affect them because they both want to marry one another but neither of there family's know. This could cause great problems because in the future if their parents found out they could be banished from seeing one another, and they could get in trouble because they wont stop seeing one another. I think that this scene opens up everything to go wrong from then on. Their love just is not made to work, so when they have balcony scenes like this you know that they future wont be good when their parents find out. If i were Juliet in this situation i think that i would would be very excited that Romeo came back to see me. At the same time though i would be very frightened for because Romeo snuck up on me like that. my reaction would be both confusion, frustration because i know he shouldn't be here, and love. Overall though if i where Juliet the love would win over and the scene would most likely play out for me just like it did in the book. Overall i am thoroughly enjoying Romeo and Juliet and cannot wait to read more!
