Answer 2

-it shows a lot about how they both feel because they're speaking to themselves for a while before they actually start starting to each other

-it shows the difficulty in them being together both by the fact that Romeo is sneaking to get there and because of the anguish Juliet is going through since she found out he is a Montague

-it's where they first decide to get married

some differences are:

people don't get married so young, parents don't have as much control over who their children marry

their love results in both good and bad. it obviously takes the lives of them both...but it brings their families together in the end.
