The performance starts with a hint of strong love when Romeo confess his admiration under the balcony in Act II Scene 1, a scene filled with exchanging of romance, passion and hope . Romeo expresses his deep affection to Juliet by saying “It was the East, and Juliet was the sun(2.1 3).” This metaphor vividly indicates how important and fascinating Juliet was for Romeo, since “the sun” was the brightest and most unique substance in the universe. Knowing Juliet’s real mind when she say, “In truth, fair Montague, I am too fond” , he could not conceal his exhilaration and vows to the moon immediately. Despite family feud, Romeo bravely pronounces his love and determination. Romeo’s love to Juliet was strong, pure and urgent. Similarly, young Juliet also has an intense desire on Romeo. She would like to discard her family and “no longer be a Capulet” for Romeo if possible; she also discard a girl’s reserved manner and straightforwardly pour out her heart to the man she only meet once:“Thy purpose marriage, send me word tomorrow, And all my fortunes at thy foot I’ll lay”. The innocence and candidness of Juliet demonstrate her enthusiasm towards love and freedom. Furthermore, Juliet was confident about their love. She wholehearted believes that they will meet again and prove their love legally: “This bud of love, by summer’s ripening breath, May prove a beauteous flower when next we meet.” As Juliet says, “I would have thee gone, And yet no farther than a wanton’s bird, That lets it hop a little from his hand”, she feels reluctant to let Romeo leave. During their conversation, Juliet was forced to get into the room because of the Nurse, and immediately comes out to the balcony to meet Romeo again; She says multiple times of “goodbye” and “a thousand times good night” and just could not let Romeo leave. Romeo as well, grabs Juliet for multiple times and waits her patiently when she was in her room. In this scene, they feel loath to part from each other and gain plenty of hope for the future because of their fervent love.
