She starts in her soliloquy by worrying about his name and how his name is her enemy, not himself. Once they see each other, she declares her love when she says, "My bounty is a soundless as the sea,/My love as deep; the more I give to thee,/The more I have, for both are infinite." Shortly after this, she and Romeo decide that they will get married as soon as possible, with no worries about the future or their family's feud.
