ROMEO and JULIET: ACT TWO !

In Romeo and Juliet, act two, many shocking things have happened- and our class is not even finished with the entire act yet.. One of the most interesting parts of this act, to me, was when Romeo and Juliet decide to get married. In this act, Romeo stays behind when Benvolio and Mercutio leave the Capulet, their enemy's, party. His friend and cousin assume Romeo has gone home, and leave him not knowing that he's still there looking for his new love, Juliet. He searches and circles around the Capulet house looking for Juliet's room so he can see her again. Not knowingly, he confesses his love for Juliet while she's nearby and she overhears him. So they meet again, and Juliet goes from, "oh, this is wrong" to "oh, let's get married tomorrow" in a matter of minutes. 

I chose this part of the act because it was so sudden and stood out in my mind after reading through four scenes. I found it interesting how deep Romeo fell in love with Juliet so soon. I don't really know if love at first sight is real, but it sounds like that's what happened between them. If I were in a situation like this, I probably wouldn't marry the guy quite so quickly. It would also make me really upset that our families hated each other for some feud that started 38,764,975,092 years ago. Have I ever had an experience like this before in my life? No. Well... not really. I may have met somebody and thought they were cool, but I have never been almost engaged, and my family doesn't hate any other family... that I know of. I think that this part of the story has gotten really entertaining and I am excited to keep reading. :]
