We explore the famous Balcony Scene (Act 2, Scene 2) with annotated play text, galleries and videos of the scene in performance. Romeo hides in the Capulet orchard and overhears Juliet talking about him.
Romeo stands below Juliet’s balcony, marveling at her beauty. Not knowing he’s there, Juliet speaks, wondering why Romeo must be a Montague, and she a Capulet. She thinks a name is simply a word, and it would be easy for Romeo to take a new name, and therefore not be forbidden to her.
Romeo comes out of hiding just as a light in a nearby window flicks on and Juliet exits onto her balcony. “It is the east,” Romeo says, regarding Juliet, “and Juliet is the sun.” He urges the sun to rise and “kill the envious moon.” He urges Juliet to take her “vestal livery” and “cast it off.”
