ROMEO.
O wilt thou leave me so unsatisfied?
JULIET.
What satisfaction canst thou have tonight?
ROMEO.
Th’exchange of thy love’s faithful vow for mine.
JULIET.
I gave thee mine before thou didst request it;
And yet I would it were to give again.
ROMEO.
Wouldst thou withdraw it? For what purpose, love?
JULIET.
But to be frank and give it thee again.
And yet I wish but for the thing I have.
My bounty is as boundless as the sea,
My love as deep; the more I give to thee
The more I have, for both are infinite.
I hear some noise within; dear love, adieu.
[Nurse calls within.]
Anon, good Nurse! Sweet Montague, be true.
Stay but a little, I will come again.
[Exit.]
Read Romeo’s soliloquy that begins, “O blessed, blessed night.” What does it reveal about Romeo?
Romeo is dreaming, and his entire conversation with Juliet is
part of the dream.
Romeo thinks Juliet speaks well about him, but he does not
trust her feelings.
Romeo is unsure whether he is actually speaking to Juliet,
due to the darkness.
Romeo is so overjoyed by Juliet’s love for him that he is
afraid he is dreaming.
