The extract of Act 1: Scene 5, occurs after the first encounter between Romeo and Juliet in the Capulet's ball. Romeo isn't supposed to be there as both their families are in constant dispute. Therefore, as Tybalt notices his presence, he protests to his uncle, who does not respond to his wishes. Romeo and Juliet's eyes meet and they fall in love at first sight....
