sixteen to get married.At the Capulets party Romeo and Benvolio went and Romeo found Juliet and thought it was love at first sight.Juliet didn't know what to call it,so she wanted the nurse to find out who Romeo was.Romeo was a Montague.Juliet didn't let him being a Montague get to her because she was a Capulet. They knew that they couldn't get married so they kept it a secret and only the nurse and Friar Laurence approved of their marriage. Friar Laurence knew that them getting married would make the Montagues and the Capulets come together as one and it would be piece.
Romeo didn't love Juliet as much as she did because he fell in love with her so fast right after Rosaline. In Act ll Romeo love for Rosaline was old desire and his new love for Juliet replaced the love for Rosaline. Juliet is Romeo's enemy and she has to plead the love for him.In Act ll Scene 1 it says ''Mercutio jokes about Romeo's love sickness.'' This quote means that Mercutio and Benvolio knew that Romeo didn't know what love was.Juliet didn't know why Montagues and Capulets were called what they are because they don't have no meaning to their names.
