Prompt D
In Act 1, Scene 5, Juliet says, "Go ask his name. If he be married, My grave is like to be my wedding bed." First of all, this line makes it very clear that Juliet really likes Romeo. She hopes he is not married so they may be able to marry each other some day. In addition, the line "My gave is like to be my wedding bed" seems like it foreshadows the ending of the play. From what I know, Romeo and Juliet both drink poison so they can join the other in death, which is like their deaths becoming their wedding. This line is important because it shows Juliet's feelings and hints at their future.
Prompt E
The relationship between Romeo and Juliet in this scene is very interesting. When Romeo first sees Juliet, he realizes that she is much prettier than anyone he's ever seen before (proving Benvolio's prediction was right), and goes to talk to her. Juliet seems very interested in him and open to kissing Romeo, even though they just met. This must mean Juliet feels like she loves Romeo back. After the dance, Romeo and Juliet both ask for the other's name from the Nurse, and both are distraught that their families are enemies, showing that each one would like to continue with their relationship. All in all, Romeo and Juliet's relationship so far is pretty much love at first sight, but they are worried about continuing because of the family rivalry.
