It became popular through its performances and publications, spreading its fame across England and eventually throughout the world. The play resonated with audiences due to its timeless themes of love, tragedy, and conflict.
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.
In England.
It was written in England.
Romeo speaks in scenes 1 and 2 of Act 1 but we don't hear Juliet until scene 3.
She hopes to hear the very message she gets: that Romeo will marry her and has made arrangements to do so.
He hides from her on the balcony because he wants to hear what she's saying. the "Romeo Romeo wherefore art thou Romeo speech"
When Juliet's nurse returned from talking to Romeo, she playfully delayed delivering Romeo's message, teasing Juliet about the encounter. Eventually, she revealed that Romeo loves her and expressed his desire to marry her. Juliet was filled with excitement and anticipation, eager to hear more about her beloved. The nurse's teasing only heightened Juliet's eagerness for their union.
We hear that Mrs. Montague has died from grief about Romeo's banishment.
He hears Juliet deliver her famous "Romeo, o Romeo, where for art thou Romeo" speech.
He wants to swear by the moon, but Juliet doesn't want to hear him swear by the moon.
