2) What does Juliet ask Romeo to do so they can be together (think both at the beginning of the scene and at the end)? How does Romeo respond?

3) What will happen to Romeo if he is caught where he is? What does he say will
protect him?

4) What does Juliet say she is afraid of in lines 85-106 (Pearson: 89-110)?

5) Why is she afraid? Why does it make sense for her to be more scared than Romeo?
