How did Juliet feel?

Answer 1

After the marriage, but before the wedding night, at the beginning of Act 3 Scene 2, Juliet is full of anticipation of the sexual fulfilment of her marriage. "Come civil night, thou sober-suited matron, all in black and learn me how to lose a winning match, played for a pair of stainless maidenhoods." She is looking forward to losing her virginity (as Romeo will lose his) but "winning" by making their marriage complete. "O I have bought the mansion of a love, but not possessed it." She has the name of wife, but not yet the reality.

Answer 2

The balcony conversation between Romeo and Juliet took place in Act 2 scene II. The scene ends with their parting. Scene III deals with Romeo. Scene IV begins with Juliet waiting for news, and then learning the details, of her marriage arrangements. William Shakespeare doesn't let us know what Juliet thought after the balcony conversation with Romeo. But during the conversation, she had said that she would believe Romeo if he wanted to marry her. The impressions of scene IV are her continued belief in Romeo, and her impatience with her nurse for taking so long. If she had any doubts about Romeo's sincerity or about the sanity of her plans, she didn't express them. For she had chosen to believe Romeo's answers during their frank, honest, long, open conversation on her balcony. Was the wait time just not long enough for Juliet to think of blaming possible insincerity by Romeo instead of the slowness of her nurse? What would have happened if the nurse had taken even longer?
