Romeo and Juliet animation
2. Love arrives at a party
We join Rosaline at the Capulets' masked ball, where Romeo arrives with Benvolio and Mercutio. Romeo is spotted by Tybalt - a Capulet - who wishes to confront him. He is intercepted by Lord Capulet who insists that he keeps quiet and does not spoil the party.
Romeo sees Juliet and falls in love - wondering 'Did my heart love til now?' - which leads Rosaline to reflect on how quickly things can change. Romeo introduces himself to Juliet and Rosaline comments that they look very sweet together, before remembering that Romeo is a Montague and that any relationship with Juliet will mean trouble.
Romeo learns that Juliet is a Capulet and says he is 'in debt to my greatest enemies for bringing me my greatest love'. Juliet too learns that Romeo is a Montague and says 'My only love comes from my only hate!'
Romeo, Benvolio and Mercutio leave the ball and Rosaline comments that the story of the 'star-crossed lovers' is underway.
