Juliet's feelings towards Romeo are revealed to be very intense and conflicted. She is falling in love with Romeo despite the fact that he is a member of the rival Montague family, which is the obstacle preventing their love from being accepted by society. She is struggling with her feelings because she knows that her family would never approve of her relationship with Romeo. This is evidenced by her lines in the text, "My only love sprung from my only hate! Too early seen unknown, and known too late! Prodigious birth of love it is to me, That I must love a loathed enemy." (Lines 140-143)
