Your question about the first quote I've answered below. What is it that you don't understand about the other two? Do you know who the Montagues and the Capulets are? Do you know that the scene takes place at a party in the home of one of the Capulets? Do you know why Tybalt, a Capulet, would be angry if he heard the voice of a Montague at the party? Do you know what a rapier is? (The word "Boy" indicates that Tybalt is addressing the order "Fetch me my rapier" to a servant.) Do you understand that Romeo's lines "If I profane. . . ." are addressed to Juliet as he comes up to her at the party and touches her hand?
