There were points where both characters paused in the double monologue, which played an important role in supporting the idea that Romeo is very similar to Juliet. These were very important as they helped line up sections of dialogue from both characters. This allowed Romeo and Juliet to almost have a conversation using unrelated and unconnected lines. These pauses allows the double monologue illustrates the idea that Romeo thinks very similarly to Juliet, as they both talk about similar topics and ideas when they are not with the other or any one else.
The costumes used also played an important role in supporting the idea that Shakespeare created the Romeo and Juliet as very similar characters in our double monologue. Both Romeo and Juliet wore mostly red Medieval clothing to help illustrate the common traits that both characters share. However, Juliet's dress was a deeper shade of red and also had some gold scents to it. This was very different from Romeo, who wore a darker shade of red and black pants. The darker colors that Romeo reflects the idea that Juliet is a more innocent character than Romeo, as she has not killed anyone as Romeo has, which is what the later scenes performed centers around. This highlighted difference shows that despite this, their love for each other is so strong that it triumphed over the difficulties that they faced. The similar colors of  their costuming being very different from the counselor's costume in the other scenes performed, who wore a white robe, shows the similarities in the traits that they have, versus the other characters throughout the play. The color schemes used for our portrayals of the characters' costuming supports Shakespeare representing Romeo and Juliet as very similar characters who are deeply in love.
