“With thy black mantle, till strange love, grow bold, think true love acted simple modesty.” (III, ii, 15-16)
In the beginning of the play, Romeo asked for Juliet’s satisfaction and she was trying to play innocent and pretend to not understand what he was asking for. After the marriage, however, she is ready to, as she says, “…belong to Romeo now, but he hasn't taken possession of me yet.”(III, ii, 26-27) Juliet is saying that she wishes that Romeo will climb up the balcony any second and take her virginity away for her on her wedding night. Juliet’s family has no suspicion of their marriage because it happened so fast and nobody would think a marriage ceremony would occur in two days; they just simply think she is in her room being a normal thirteen year old girl. After the night that Romeo does not show up, Juliet thinks about him constantly and when her parents announce that she will marry Paris the next week, she cannot think anything of it. In the next couple of scenes, Juliet is mourning over the thought of marrying Paris, she even goes to the highest degree of killing herself because of her love for Romeo. Juliet’s death shocks many people and brings mourn over her household. This comes to show that even the most innocent looking person can do the greatest damages to others.
