It was written in England.
My favorite part is when Juliet is standing on her balcony and Romeo is in the bushes below. Juliet (not knowing romeo can hear her) is talking about how she wishes he were there and that they could be together.
She hopes to hear the very message she gets: that Romeo will marry her and has made arrangements to do so.
Romeo speaks in scenes 1 and 2 of Act 1 but we don't hear Juliet until scene 3.
He hides from her on the balcony because he wants to hear what she's saying. the "Romeo Romeo wherefore art thou Romeo speech"
We hear that Mrs. Montague has died from grief about Romeo's banishment.
Romeo hears Juliet speaking about her love for him to herself, which prompts him to reveal his presence. Juliet is expressing her feelings and longing for Romeo, unaware that he is listening nearby.
He wants to swear by the moon, but Juliet doesn't want to hear him swear by the moon.
