I think you will find that if you actually read the play you will know the answers to these questions. Shakespeare actually wrote in modern English. Do you find the language difficult? Try reading it out loud. I would love to just give you the answers, but I love Shakespeare's work. I hate to see it pushed aside.

If you really have too much trouble with reading the script, I suggest renting a copy of the 1972 Romeo and Juliet or one of the PBS versions of the play.

looks ok to me

and if the first answer on here doesnt help, watch BazLuhrmans version of romeo and juliet, its fantastic! obviously no film could be a substitute for reading the play, but if language is a difficulty for you, this could be a great help.
