Moments after Romeo and Juliet meet, they already share kiss. They cannot be in love because love is patient.
Finally, Romeo goes to see Juliet in her room because he cannot wait until tomorrow to see her again. In her soliloquy, Juliet says, “O Romeo, Romeo! Wherefore art thou Romeo?/Deny thy father and refuse thy name;/Or, if thou wilt...
