show Romeo’s and Juliet’s true feelings about one another.

In the balcony scene they each speak at length to confess love, question the importance of names, and make vows — revealing their emotions and deepening the romantic connection. The scene isn’t primarily about the family feud’s background or about why Romeo can’t be caught.
