Prompt E
The relationship between Romeo and Juliet is not completely trusting. Juliet has been taught that men are not always trusting and may lie in order to seduce women. Because Romeo has already heard that she loves him, she is worried that he will take advantage of her. She makes it clear that she believes this when she says that, "Yet if thou swear'st, Thou mayst prove false. At lovers' perjuries, Then say, Jove laughs." She says how the gods laugh at the promises that lovers make. Then, she explains what she needs him to do, which is that, "If thou dost love, pronounce it faithfully: Or if thou think'st I am too quickly won, I'll frown and be perverse an say thee nay." Juliet is clearly cautious and worried about this relationship and what will happen, while Romeo is willing to do anything to be with her.
Even if Juliet is cautious though, I think she will still succumb to her feelings for Romeo.
