Secondly, Juliet is so deeply infatuated with Romeo that she agrees to marry him without fully thinking about the consequences. As Romeo and Juliet are talking about marriage, Juliet says, “If that thy bent of love be honorable, Thy purpose marriage, send me word to-morrow”. ii. The. 143-144. See the ECB's ECB policy. Juliet is saying that if Romeo genuinely wants to marry her out of love and respect, then he should send word to her the next day in order to arrange their marriage.
