Which of these lines spoken by Juliet in the play support the thesis statement?

How camest thou hither, tell me, and wherefore?

The orchard walls are high and hard to climb,

And the place death, considering who thou art,

If any of my kinsmen find thee here.

Thou know'st the mask of night is on my face,

Else would a maiden blush bepaint my cheek

I have no joy of this contract to-night:

It is too rash, too unadvised, too sudden;

Too like the lightning, which doth cease to be

How art thou out of breath, when thou hast breath

To say to me that thou art out of breath?

The excuse that thou dost make in this delay

Is longer than the tale thou dost excuse.

Answer: "It is too rash, too unadvised, too sudden;

Too like the lightning,"

Shakespeare is trying to warm people from making hasty decisions that could have serious outcomes. This is a common theme especially towards the end of the play.
