Things are heating up in Act Two, Scene Five. Will Juliet's love-at-first sight return to claim her fair hand? Will her nurse help or hinder the young lovers' efforts? While the fate for the young couple is unknown to the players, the audience knows that the "star cross'd lovers" are doomed. This scene is like looking back at an accident you know is about to happen, but we rubberneck anyway. How well can you identify those pivotal moments in this scene?
