  2. I really like your overall interpretation of act 1 scene 3. Do you think, however, that you can combine a few sentences in your summary to make it flow better? In your sentence you said that Juliet is looking for love. Is she really? You really thought out some good questions though, especially the one asking why Juliet doesn't want to get married. Good job!
