Question
Is Rosaline the Moon that Romeo is talking about? "Arise fair sun and kill the envious moon..." Thoughts?
In response to Juliet asking how Romeo got into her place Romeo says, "With love's light wings did I o'erperch these walls / For stony limits cannot hold love out / And what love can do, that dares love attempt. / Therefore thy kinsman are no stop to me" (Shakespear page 73). He is saying that with wings of love he flew over the high walls, he says that these walls cannot keep him out. Romeo says that his love for her is strong enough to do anything to get to her, therefore the kinsman is not an obstacle for Romeo to get to Juliet, the one he loves.
1. I agree what Juliet says about names because, no matter what something is called it is still that object. If I am called Takis no matter where I go my name may change but as a being I remain the same. Names have power in this story because Romeo is a Montague and it is forbidden to have any relations in between the two family's but if he was to fall under the name Capulet, everything would be fine. This is also a case of labeling for they are quick to judge one another because they are from the opposite family.
2. Juliet speaks but says nothing because when she is standing on the balcony Romeo wishes for her to speak, but she says nothing. I think hes imagining her talking to him, but by the way she is described in this passage she seems to be talking with her beauty as she is so detailed in Romeos description.
Romeo risks his life to get into Juliet's house and when Juliet sees him she says:"How camest thou hither,tell me, and wherefore? The orchard walls are high and hard to climb,and the place death, considering who thou art,if any of my kinsmen find thee here."(Shakespeare,73). In response Romeo says:"With love's light wings did I o'erperch these walls. for stony limits cannot hold love out, and what love con do, that dares love attempt. Therefore thy kinsmen find thee here"(73). As the quote says love was Romeos reason to risk his life. Romeos love for Juliet was so strong that he would risk his life just to see her and that nothing could repress his love for Juliet.
Romeo & Juliet Act II. Scene 2
2.
When Romeo says that Juliet "Speaks with her eyes" he means that she does not need to talk to say what she is feeling. Juliet is showing everything that she is feeling clearly in her eyes, so she does not need to speak for Romeo to understand what she feels.
3.
When Juliet leans her cheek on her hand, Romeo says that he wishes he could be the one touching her cheek. He wishes he was allowed to be with her and and love her without there being consequences.
4.
Unaware of Romeo's presence, Juliet asks him to forget about their families' quarrel and choose instead to be with her. She says that if he chooses to not be defined as a Montague, then she will, in turn choose to not be a Capulet. this means that if he forgets about the things that are keeping them apart, then she will too and they can be happy together.
5.
Juliet says that her name is her enemy and that Romeo is who he is and that his name is just a name. What she means by her name is her enemy is that she could be with Romeo if she had a different name. Her name is keeping her from the love of her life, and thus, it is acting as her enemy, blocking her way to what she wants most. What she means by someone is who they are no matter what their name is is that even though she is a Capulet, and Romeo is a Montague, it does not mean that they are enemies. their names do not define them and she wants Romeo to know that they should not let their names control their lives.

When Juliet apears on her balcony, what does Romeo compare her to? When Juliet appears on her balcony, Romeo compares her to the the sun. He also talks about her eyes as if they were stars, because of the twinkle she has.
When Juliet leans her cheek on her hand, what does Romeo say? Romeo says that he wishes that there was a glove on her hand, because he could touch her cheek.
Juliet asks how Romeo got into her place. The orchard walls are high, and Romeo’s life would be in danger if her relatives were to find him there. What is Romeo’s response to these questions? when Romeo gets asked how he got over the high walls he said, "Whith love's light wings did i o'erperch these walls, For stony limits cannot hold love out, And what love can do, dares love attempt. Therefore thy kinsmen are no stop to me" (Shakespear, 73 L 71-74). He is saying that he got over the walls because love gave him wings, and the strangth of his love for juliet will not stop him from putting himself in danger.

He is saying that he is so in love that he can do anything, and that he is willing to risk everything for his love. He is also saying that nothing can hold love in or out of places.
