Romeo & Juliet: Act Two

I think the that the most interesting thing that happened in Act two was after the party when Romeo went looking for Juliet and found her on her balcony. At first when Romeo saw her she was talking about him and how she wishes that he wasn't a Montague so that they could be together. After he listens to her for a minute he reviles himself, startling her for a moment. Romeo then tells her that they can be together. At the end of their conversation Juliet tells Romeo that she will send one of her men tomorrow to find Romeo and to Discuss what they should do. This scene effects Romeo and Juliet a lot because the next day when Romeo speaks with Nurse, Juliet's man he tells her that Friar Lawrence will marry the two of them later that the day.
I've never been in a situation like this but i don't think i would have acted the same way romeo did. If i was in Romeo's position i don't think i would have left my friends and risked possibly even my life to go see the woman that i am in love with. I don't think i would have decided that i was in love with someone so fast either. Romeo's Actions are very interesting in this scene and i think are the most interesting in Act Two.
