Romeo and Juliets Experience Upon Meeting One Another Romeo and Juliet’s feelings towards each other change greatly between their first meeting, in Act1 Scene5 and their second in Act2 Scene2. We also see a change in the language they use and the contexts which occur in both scenes. There are also some similarities in their feelings and language shown as well. There is an immense amount of feelings and thoughts shown and received, throughout Act1 Scene5. Both lovers obviously have feelings towards each other as soon as they meet, “O she doth teach the torches to burn bright!” and “My only love sprung from my only hate!” show there are important feelings. But whether these are deep, caring and loving feelings or just a confused and impulsive reaction from two young people towards the opposite sex is still to be found out later in the play. We see that Romeo appears a lot more than Juliet Act1 Scene1 he also seems a lot more attracted to Juliet than she does to him at first because as soon as Romeo sees Juliet he wants to know who she is, “What lady’s that which doth enrich the hand?” he asks the serving man, when Juliet first sees Romeo she is not quite as enthusiastic, she seems to flirt more than want to find out his name, “Good Pilgrim, you do wrong your hand too much”. We can tell Juliet is more reluctant to just let things go and do what she wants. This shows that she is more level headed and cares about hat her parents would think and the consequences of what she is doing, doing things spontaneously without any planning is not what she does naturally. The language they use in Act1 Scene5 differs quite a lot to Act2 Scene2, it did not seem as caring than in Act2 scene2, it was rather hurried as they were under the risk of being caught. They both found each other attractive but it was too early to be deeply in love and caring for each other and planning the future of the relationship.
