Which lines best set a romantic mood in Act II, scene ii of Romeo and Juliet?
What man art thou, that, thus be-screen’d in night,
So stumblest on my counsel?
How cam’st thou hither, tell me, and wherefore?
The orchard walls are high and hard to climb,
But, soft! what light through yonder window breaks?
It is the east, and Juliet is the sun!
At what o’clock to-morrow
Shall I send to thee?

The lines that best set a romantic mood are:
- "But, soft! what light through yonder window breaks?"
- "It is the east, and Juliet is the sun!"
Why: Romeo’s lyrical image and glowing light metaphors idealize Juliet, turning a private moment into exalted, poetic love. The language is intimate, emotional, and full of romantic imagery. (The other lines are practical or suspicious in tone.)
