• tell their families they're in love, even though they are aware it will start a big brawl that will destroy Verona

• date for some time before telling their parents about their love - just in case they were wrong about loving each other

Why are the following lines important to the play:

“Deny thy father and refuse thy name;

Or, if thou wilt not, be but sworn my love,

And I’ll no longer be a Capulet.”

• The lines share Lord Capulet's opinion on the marriage of Romeo and Juliet

• The lines allow us to understand that Juliet will give up being a Capulet for Romeo

• The lines give insight to the setting of the play

• The lines are not important at all!
