Question

How does Shakespeare demonstrate to the audience that Romeo and Juliet are indeed in love after Act 1 scene 5?

Answer 1

Juliet, perhaps, most perfectly describes her lovefor Romeo by refusing to describe it: “But my truelove is grown to such excess / I cannot sum up some of half my wealth” (3.1. 33–34). Love, in other words, resists any single metaphor because it is too powerful to be so easily contained or understood.
