Romeo speaks these lines in the so-called balcony scene, when, hiding in the Capulet orchard after the feast, he sees Juliet leaning out of a high window (2.1.44–64).

Juliet speaks these lines, perhaps the most famous in the play, in the balcony scene (2.1.74–78). Leaning out of her upstairs window, unaware that Romeo is below in the orchard, she asks why Romeo must be Romeo—why he must be a Montague, the son of her family’s greatest enemy (“wherefore” means “why,” not “where”; Juliet is not, as is often assumed...

Therefore love moderately; long love doth so; Too swift arrives as tardy as too slow.”. ― William Shakespeare, Romeo and Juliet. tags: romeo-and-juliet , shakespeare.
Apr 3, 2024 · Quotes About Love: The Romantic Balcony Scene and More by Romeo Montague and Juliet Capulet. “Alas, that love, so gentle in his view, Should be so tyrannous and rough in proof.” (Act 1, Scene 1, Line 175) “Love is a smoke raised with the fume of sighs; Being purged, a fire sparkling in lovers’ eyes; Being vexed, a sea nourished with ...
As a lover, he can ignore the boundaries set by the feud between Montagues and Capulets. Yet Romeo’s words also suggest that he retains a primarily abstract and poetic understanding of love, more fantasy than reality. O sweet Juliet. Thy beauty hath made me effeminate.
