After meeting Romeo at the ball held in her honor, Juliet has a crisis of conscience. She fell in love with him at first sight. When she first saw Romeo, it did not matter to her that she was a Capulet and he was a Montague. However, later, when she had time to think about it, she realized that Juliet asks Romeo why he is a Montague, a member of the family of her enemy.

However, later, when she had time to think about it, she realized that his name was going to be a problem for her. Her family would never accept him.

When Juliet sees Romeo at the ball, she is smitten. The two of them share a moment full of poetry before they know each other's name. All they know is that they are attracted to each other. Romeo can bet she is a Capulet, or of the Capulet family, since it is a Capulet ball. However, Juliet would assume the same. She would not imagine a Montague would be there. Thus, when she learns his name, she is surprised.
