Act 3 Scene 5 Romeo's Flight Prompt E

The relationship between Romeo and Juliet is obviously a very close and intimate one.  However, this scene shows that their relationship also has many dimensions.  For example, Juliet tells Romeo, "Art thou gone so? Love, lord, ay husband, friend!"  This multi-faceted relationship produces interesting dynamics, showing how such a relationship may be an asset as well as a burden.  In the beginning of the scene, Juliet tries to prevent Romeo from leaving.  Juliet's obsession with Romeo as the object of her love could end up endangering Romeo.  However, Juliet lets go of Romeo and distances herself, acting instead as a "friend".  She tells Romeo to leave, otherwise he will be killed.
