I agree with this because she shows he dedication and love for Romeo when all she does is wish it night so she can be with him unseen I know this when she say''Spread thy close curtain, love-performing "night,"

That runaways’ eyes may wink and Romeo

Leap to these arms, untalked of and unseen.'

In Act 3, Scene 2, Juliet shows a yearning for love, she can't wait for the night to come. "Come night, come Romeo, come thou day in night; For thou wilt lie upon the wings of night Whiter than new snow on a raven's back. Come gentle night, come loving black-browed night, Give me my Romeo; and when I shall die," She shows that night allows her to express her love for Romeo with any restrictions.

In Act 3, Scene 2, Juliet begins to question whether Romeo has truly slain his self and whether Tybalt is dead. "What storm is this that blows so contrary? Is Romeo slaughtered, and is Tybalt dead,

My dearest cousin and my dearer lord?

Then, dreadful trumpet, sound the general doom," It reveals her feelings because she then doesn't know whether they are dead but she is also scared If they are.

I agree because They show their love by growing over the top and disobeying their family traditions by marrying one another even tho Romeo murders Tybalt Juliet's cousin she still remains loyal and shows her love for him in act 3 scene 2 Juliet initially expresses grief for the loss of Tybalt, but then her focus shifts to Romeo's banishment, and she declares her love for him.

I agree with this because Juliet shows in act Act 3 Scene 2 because she is sad about Romeo's banishment and she is devastated. Juliet says "Romeo is banished. O God! O God! Why, any is so much to do with my life; for his death was but a little pin prick to my heart: no, no, but banishment, thou art worse than death." This showcases her intense grief and she believes that banishment is worse than death because it means an indefinite separation from Romeo which shows despair and grief.

In act 3 scene 2 -43 "What devil art thou that dost torment me thus?" She expresses how many terrible things are happening to her and it is as if she is being punished or tormented. This also shows her emotions and feelings for the fact that a person close to her is dead

In Act 3, Scene 2 of "Romeo and Juliet" Juliet shows her love for Romeo by saying lovers should be able to do anything on their own and if love is blind is best a night."Lovers can see to do their amorous rites,By their own beauties, or, if love be blind,It best agrees with night."

I agree with this because Juliet was focused on whether Romeo was banished or killed, and after she found out Romeo killed Tybalt, she came up with a conclusion that if Romeo didn't kill Tybalt, Tybalt would've killed Romeo she says. "That villain cousin would have killed my husband.

Back, foolish tears, back to your native spring" This shows that Juliet sides with Romeo even though he killed her cousin.

I agree with this because, at the end of Act 3, Scene 2, she states "O find him. Give this ring to my true knight, And bid him come to take his last farewell." this shows that even though he did something wrong, she still loves him dearly. Juliet doesn't want to lose someone she has a connection with who has more potential than anyone else's, even if he slaughters her cousin.
