Romeo and Juliet: Act Two

The situation that I found most interesting in Act Two, was when Romeo was in the Capulet's yard and then Juliet came out on the balcony talking to herself. Romeo went looking for Juliet after the party. He sees her walk out on the balcony. She starts talking to herself about how she wishes Romeo could be someone else besides a Capulet so they could be together. Romeo startes talking to her and she gets frightend. They then start talking about how they can be together and then the conversation rises to the topic of marriage. They decide their going to marry the next day. If I was Romeo, I would not jump to marraige so quickly, esspecially fully knowing to consequences he would have from his family.
I think this event will greatly impact the story. If they do end up getting married, it could cause an all out war between the Capulets and Montagues. I also think Romeo and Juliet will both get punished by their families. I think that my reaction to the situation would not have been as good as Romeo's. If I saw a girl I loved walk out onto a balcony and start to talk to herself, I would definetly be weirded out, not wishing she would talk more so I could hear her voice. I have never been in any type of situation even close to this.

Beck I also agree that they shouldn't of married so soon. I think they should of never got married and kept their relationship on the low. This will probably cause a lot of problems.
