Romeo and Juliet have an instant chemistry when they first meet. They speak a shared sonnet and then have a kiss. They also share a tone that is courteous as they meet each other. Conversely, they speak in different ways. Romeo has a tone that reveals that he desires Juliet’s attention. He feels unworthy of having it as he says: “If I profane with my unworthiest hand” (1.5.104). Juliet retorts, “Good pilgrim, you do wrong your hand too much,” (1.5.108), meaning that Romeo doesn’t give himself enough credit. The tone goes from hesitant to unconstrained. Romeo and Juliet are no longer hesitant after they have their first kiss. Their love is too strong to be hesitant about showing their affection. The lines in a sonnet have ten syllables each.
