I would say that an audience (at least in modern times)
would feel pretty sorry for Juliet by the end of this
scene.
In this scene, the adults who are supposed to care
about Juliet have not acted very well. Really, they have been pretty horrible to her.
Her father, in particular, has said some really nasty things about her. And all of this
is simply because she does not want to marry Paris the way that they want her
to.
At least today, an audience would surely feel sorry for
Juliet. They have seen her being berated and really abused by her parents for wanting
to be her own person. Nowadays, that would really get us on her
side.
