Question

What reason does Juliet give for not being "more strange" to Romeo, which is more typical courting behavior?

Answer 1

Answer:

The correct answer is that Romeo had already heard her feelings about him when she didn´t know he was listening.

Explanation:

"Romeo and Juliet" by William Shakespeare, is one of his most famous plays which is believed to have been first published between 1591 and 1595. Narrating the love story of Rome and Juliet, two star-crossed young lovers who must face the difficulties of opposed families, and death itself, the two end up showing, in fact, that love is much stronger than death. In Act II, scene II, when Romeo finds himself close to Juliet´s bedroom balcony, and she comes out talking, he has the advantage of hearing her confession of love towards him before she even realizes it. But then, unable to contain himself, he shows himself and Juliet, instead of acting as a normal maid would, that she would shy away and hide herself, faces Romeo and outright asks him what he has heard. Knowing that he already knows all that she feels, she no longer shows any of the signs that maids would show at the time towards courtship, especially in the beginning of it.
