awesome sample of flirting (Act 2 scene 2)

 Act 2 scene 2 is the most famous scene in the play Romeo and Juliet, because of whole bunch of romantic words and the unique setting. Also, scene 2 is my favorite scene because it reminds my personal memory and I feel I'm going to fall in love with somebody.

In the beginning of scene 2, Romeo compares Juliet to the sun which is the center of the universe.
"It is the East, and Juliet is the sun." (Act 2, scene 2, line 3). The sun provides the light which is one of the most important sources. Sun also keeps line for the whole world by gravity. Everything might be impossible to exist without the sun. Romeo is also saying that Juliet is lighting and wakes him up. He can't live without her just like living without the sun and it means Juliet is occupying so many part in Romeo's life. Also sun is so beautiful and powerful even hard to look at it directly and describe it in words. Romeo and Juliet also expose how much they love each other and confirm their love toward each other. Also, this scene is the first scene that Juliet exposes her true characteristic and honest feelings about Romeo. I could assume that Juliet had had similar life with Romeo in this scene. They were born in extremely rich household, but in fact both of them were living very lonely  life. She talks about their identity mentioning their family name. She is ready to give up her family and identity, and also wants the same thing from Romeo. "Deny thy father and refuse thy name, Or, if thou wilt not, be but sworn my love, And I'll no longer be a Capulet." (Act 2 ,Scene 2, line 37-39). This line shows how much Juliet loves Romeo even though she doesn't know Romeo well. Also it tells that Juliet is out of her mind wtih love, because she loves Romeo more than her family name. She thinks their family name cannot be an obstacle for their love. She expects Romeo to get out of his family and make a new family with her. In normal way, it sounds extremely crazy. However Shakespeare depicts the craziness followed by love in very smooth way.
