Question

Which themes are portrayed through Juliet’s monologue?

Answer 1

In Juliet’s monologue in act 2 scene 2, we discover just how much Juliet cares about Romeo and to her, he’s not just any other relationship. She didn’t want him to think that just because her heart was easily won that her love isn’t serious. She was also very mature in deciding that they should take the night to think over their feelings so they don’t do anything to rash, and she suggested they get married if they still feel the same after a good night’s rest.

Answer 2

ACT 2, SCENE 2.

JULIET: Thou know'st the mask of night is on my face,
Else would a maiden blush bepaint my cheek
For that which thou hast heard me speak to-night
Fain would I dwell on form, fain, fain deny
What I have spoke: but farewell compliment!
Dost thou love me? I know thou wilt say 'Ay,'
And I will take thy word: yet if thou swear'st,
Thou mayst prove false; at lovers' perjuries
Then say, Jove laughs. O gentle Romeo,
