Romeo and Juliet: Act Two

I liked the scene of Romeo leaving Benvolio and Mercutio to go and find Juliet. I thought it was cute how he left his best friends to go look for the love of his life. What happened was that he left his friends before they all left the Capulet property so Romeo got to stay inside and he climbed up the orchard wall to look for her. He compared Juliet to the sun, saying that she is so beautiful that she makes night bright because she is as bright as the sun. She came out on the balcony and she started talking to herself about Romeo and why he has to be a Montague. Earlier she says "My only love sprung from my only hate!" and she is saying there that she loves him but he is a Montague and her family is enemy's with the Montagues.
I know that they die at the end so I think that they get married and Tybalt gets involved with the whole "Romeo came to the party so i am going to get revenge" thing so that isn't a good thing.
Nothing like this scene has ever happened to me and I don't think i would have done the same thing Romeo did. He had a lot of guts going up that wall to look for Juliet. He could have been killed but he did it anyway. I wouldn't have the guts to do something like that. But I might have reacted the same way Juliet did.

I love what you said! I agree completely, it's really cute of Romeo to do that. He is so charming in every scene, ha, and even more charming in the movie considering it's Leonardo Dicaprio!! No wonder Miss Gilman thinks he's gorgeous! :)
