Who spoke first - Romeo or Juliet?

Answer 1

There was an almighty huge fight between the Capulets' servants (who start it) and the Montagues' servants which ends up involving everyone including Capulet and Montague themselves. The Prince stops the fight and says that if there is any more of this kind of behaviour, whoever is in it will die. Lady Montague wants to know where Romeo is, and Benvolio explains what is up with Romeo.

Answer 2

Romeo speaks first.Romeo speaks before Juliet both as the first speaker in the entire play (between Romeo and Juliet) and the first in a conversation between the two.

Romeo is the first to speak in the play (between Romeo and Juliet); he answers Benvolio:

SCENE I. Verona. A public place.

BENVOLIO: "Good-morrow, cousin."

ROMEO: "Is the day so young?"

Romeo is also the first to speak when the two lovers meet:

When they first meet, in Act 1, Scene 5, Romeo says to Juliet:

ROMEO:

"If I profane with my unworthiest hand

This holy shrine, the gentle sin is this:

My lips, two blushing pilgrims, ready stand

To smooth that rough touch with a tender kiss."
