Act Two Quote

"Then plainly know my heart's dear love is set on the fair daughter of rich Capulet: as mine on hers, so hers is set on mine; And all combined, save what thou must combine by holy marriage." -Romeo (2.3.57-61)

This quote was said by Romeo while he was explaining to Friar Lawrence about his love for Juliet to try and persuade him to marry the two. Basically, Romeo is trying to say that he believes that he and Juliet are a perfect match because not only does he have strong feelings for her like he did previously with Rosaline, but the feeling is mutual, meaning that Juliet also feels the same about Romeo. This quote is important to the story because it suggests that perhaps his relationship with Juliet will work out in the long run, unlike what happened with Rosaline, since they both love each other this time.
