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.

Romeo and Juliet

Deny thy father and refuse thy name.

Or, if thou wilt not, be but sworn my love,

And I’ll no longer be a Capulet. Juliet's feelings for Romeo are so strong that she offers to give up her family. She's afraid of what her love for Romeo will cost. Prior to this, Juliet is willing to fulfill her parent's wishes.
