Hello. Although you have presented the text to which this question refers, you have not presented the question itself, which makes it impossible for it to be answered. However, to try to help you, I will explain to you what is happening in this text and I hope this will be useful.
As you may already know, "Romeo and Juliet" is a play written by Shakespeare that tells the tragic story of forbidden love between Romeo and Juliet, that, although they love each other, they belong to enemy families. In the city where Romeo and Juliet live, there is a law that anyone who kills someone on the street will be killed. Well, Romeo killed Julieta's cousin, after being teased by him and after he married her, without the family of any of them knowing. In order not to be killed, he flees the city and Juliet is in tears for the death of her cousin and for the exile of her husband.
The scene shown above, shows the moment when Juliet's mother, Lady Capulet, watches her daughter cry in despair. Lady Capulet does not know that Juliet married Romeo and thinks that her daughter is crying solely for the death of her cousin. This is an example of dramatic irony, which occurs when the audience knows about something, but the characters don't. That's because while the audience knows the real reason Juliet is crying, her mother doesn't know.
