What Do We Learn About Romeo's And Juliet's Feelings For Each Other And Their Characters From 'The Balcony Scene?"

What Do We Learn About Romeo's And Juliet's Feelings For Each Other And Their Characters From 'The Balcony Scene?' The 'balcony scene' is one of the most famous scenes in the whole world of theatre.

The scene begins with Romeo running from his friends …

…about the falcon and the string referring Romeo to a prince and how she would like to completely control him. Juliet seems possessive and could be jealous if the occasion arose. The two lovers then arrange what time they will send a message to each other - 9 o'clock. Romeo and Juliet then say their 'saucy', passionate goodbyes when Juliet goes back to her room and Romeo goes off into the night. Louis Lee Ray 9SB
