How does Compare and contrast the ways that romeo and Juliet respond to each other and their situation?
Romeo says "Is she a Capulet? O dear account! My life is my foe's debt." Juliet says "Prodicious birth of love it is to me that I should love a loathed enemy." Their reactions are pretty much the same really.
How do Romeo's and Juliet's reactions in Act I Scene 5 when they learn each others' identity foreshadow or give clues to their tragic end?
Romeo: Is she a Capulet? O dear account! My life is in my foe's debt.Juliet: My only love sprung from my only hate!Too early seen unknown, and known too late!Prodigious birth of love it is to me,That I must love a loathed enemy.Of course their initial reactions are based on their prejudices: members of the other family are "foes" and "loathed enemies". They will soon get past these prejudices and realize that they are wrong. Juliet's line is particularly shallow, but then she is very young and naïve: she says that if she had only known who Romeo was, she would had nothing to do with him, and therefore would never have fallen in love with him. She does realize that she loves him, and thinks it is "prodigious", or weird, that the man she should fall in love with should turn out to be a Montague. Romeo's remark, though shorter, has more depth. The words "debt" and "account" suggest a bookkeeping metaphor: because Capulet has brought Juliet into the world, Romeo owes Capulet a debt, and because Juliet is his life, that is the extent of the debt. Romeo begins to realize that by loving Juliet, he cannot hold the Capulets as enemies. As for foreshadowing, the lines do not do so particularly. If you subscribe to the idea expressed in the Prologue, that the basic conflict of the play between Love (as between Romeo and Juliet) and Hate (as between Montagues and Capulets) is the cause of their tragedy, then yes, that conflict is expressed in these quotations: Capulet is a foe, yet Romeo owes him a debt; Romeo is an enemy, yet Juliet loves him.

How was God's mercy manifested in the account of the Fall?
Someone had to pay the debt for the fall of Adam and Even or all mankind would be lost. Christ was the only one who could do this. It was He who paid the debt with His own life.
