Romeo and Juliet Act two Comprehension Questions

Prologue:
1. Romeo has fallen out of love with Rosaline, got over her quickly, and instead fell in love with
Juliet. Juliet feels the same for him, but the hatred between their families (Montagues and
Capulets) makes it difficult for them to meet and let their passion prosper.
Scene One
1. That he was never really in love with Rosaline, he never felt a wound.
Scene two
1. The sun
2. The moon
3. Change his name
4. A name means nothing; Romeo would still be himself if his name wasnt Romeo, just as a rose
would still smell just as sweet if it was called something else.

because love has lent him bravery.

7. Therefore pardon me, And do not impute this yielding to light love, Which the dark night hath
so discovered. Dost thou love me? I know thou wilt say ay, And I will take thy word. Yet if
thou swearst Thou mayst prove false. At lovers perjuries, They say, Jove laughs. O gentle
Romeo, If thou dost love, pronounce it faithfully.
8. Because the moon is always changing, and she doesnt want him to turn out to be that
inconsistent as well.

is just their appearances that drew them to one another.
