Analysis of Act II Scene II of Romeo and Juliet

Act 2 Scene 2 on page 81 of the book Romeo and Juliet takes place on the balcony scene where Romeo and Juliet are expressing their unallowed love for each other as they are loving and enjoying ones company. Juliet states that “I shall forget, to have thee still stand there, Remembering how I love thy company.” Then Romeo responds “And I’ll still stay, to have thee still forget, forgetting any other home but this.” As the audience can observe they both have fallen deeply in love with each other totally forgetting that they both live in two different households who have held a hatred towards each other for centuries. Juliet and Romeo are so in love they are unknowing to what consequences may come if their households find out about their forbidden love. Later in their conversation, Romeo asks Juliet to marry him and she says yes. The both of them are very exited and happy to marry each other. Juliet ask’s Romeo “What o’clock shall I send to thee?”. Romeo says “By the hour of nine.” So we can foreshadow that the following day around nine o’clock, Romeo and Juliet will be married and become husband and wife.
