Answer 7

OKay! When Juliet says ""Too like the lightning, which doth cease to be / Ere one can say 'It lightens" she is talking to Romeo about how quickly their love "contract" has come about. At this point in the play (the famous balcony scene) Romeo is rushing into love pretty heavily; swearing his love and faithfulness and all that, and Juliet is not really happy with how fast he's doing it. She thinks that he's moving too fast, and she's worried that his love might not be true, because of how quickly he's rushing into it. She fears that he may want... something else... from her. Does this make sense?

Answer 8

woah! okay yea so shes basically doubting his love for......you noe.. but hes actually not he really does love her yes?

Answer 9

Exactly. He DOES really love her, but as you probably noticed in the play, Romeo does a lot of things quickly, and without thinking. And Juliet knows that. That's why she's worried.
