1. Describe Juliet's mood at the beginning of the scene.
Juliet is absolutely ignorant to what happened and is head over heels in love. Then she feels mad and portrayed by Romeo since Romeo killed her cousin, Tybalt. She is furious at what she is hearing from her nurse and she cannot believe she trusted and married Romeo.
2. How does she describe Romeo when she receives news of what has happened?
She says Romeo is evil, mean and a horrible person. Juliet says "O serpent heart, hid with a flow'ring face!" Serpent represents evil in all stories dating back to the story of Adam and Eve. So by this I think she means his evil heart is hidden by his handsome face.
