The scene starts with young Romeo fleeing from Benvolio and Mercutio after the party. He hops over a fence into the Capulet yard. From above he spots Juliet. After he monologues about her beauty, Juliet begins to speak. She monologues to herself of how she wished Romeo were of a different name and to her surprise, Romeo interrupts her declaring he would give up his name for her.
