Romeo and Juliet: Act Two

I found Scene 2 very interesting. For one, it's probably the most famous scene in the entire play, with Juliet talking to Romeo from the balcony. I really enjoyed reading this scene; it was very poetic and deep. I liked the fact that Romeo and Juliet were both speaking in long passages, which is a little odd, I guess, but I prefer the longer lines in the book. This was my favorite scene out of all of Act 2, followed by Scene 4.

I've never had any experiences like this, and I'm not exactly sure how I'd react to one. I just liked to read it, and I thought it was very romantic. I believe it will affect Romeo and Juliet's future quite a lot, as they proposed to each other in that scene. It already has, actually, because they married in the last scene of Act 2.

I agree that was probably the most famous Act in the book. It like the longer parts too because I acutally get into it and understand it. But its also hard to know what there saying with the way they talk.
