In Romeo and Juliet, one of the main scenes is the Balcony scene. Of course, the first thing that comes to students’ minds is the theme of inseparable love and the tragic feeling of not being together. However, one of the hidden themes in this scene is intelligence and beauty, predominantly of Juliet.

The main question we have to think about in this scene is why is Juliet asking Romeo to marry her. She has the choice to run away with him and have all the pleasures which she wants yet she wants to get married. She could do a million things with him without getting married but she still wants to get married first. Why does she say that everything will be secret, that nobody will know- but still marry him?

The first idea that came to my head was that so Romeo would be fully devoted to her-and her only- and he would not cheat on her or leave her. Be that as it may, if we analyse deeper, we can see what an intelligent person Juliet is for a thirteen-year-old girl. The idea of marriage makes the whole relationship legal, legitimate, pure, and fair. It makes the whole idea of marriage serious and long lasting as well as making it a beautiful thing.
