Answer 2

Answer: Romeo’s character as he persuades Juliet to kiss him.

Explanation: Romeo is trying to get Juliet to kiss him and she initially refuses. Her refusal to kiss Romeo develops her innocence, but the witty banter she uses with Romeo also develops her as clever and intelligent. She is not shy with Romeo and she isn't describing her religion. She uses religion to deny Romeo his kiss, but he turns it around.
