Explanation

Romeo and Juliet playfully describe their kiss using the language of sin: Romeo calls it a “trespass” and asks for his “sin” back, while Juliet teases that he kisses “by the book.” Their witty exchange shows their mutual attraction and the playful affection of a new relationship. It does not focus on the family feud or argue that kissing is truly sinful.
