Well - Juliet loved Romeo. However, she could not tell Lady Capulet. Lady Capulet thought her mournful words were about Tybalt, but they were actually in fear for Romeo, our of remorse and a broken heart. The point were Romeo killed Tybalt can be considered the turning point. Juliet knows now that her family will never accept Romeo - so she expresses her disbelief and love at the same time, causing a rather inadvertently bittersweet tone.
