"...Come, gentle night; come, loving black-browed night,
Give me my Romeo, and when I shall die,
Take him and cut him out in little stars,
And he will make the face of heaven so fine
That all the world will be in love with night..." (III.ii.21-26.)
A daydreamer is someone who is often absorbed in their own thoughts. These thoughts are usually fantastical or romanticized projections of what another person's interaction with the daydreamer may be. In this passage, Juliet is anxiously awaiting the arrival of her husband. Instead of doing something useful such as reading or sewing to occupy her time, she dwells on the thought of his arrival. She wonders at the thought of their joining, and then follows that train of thought to join his beauty with that of another beautiful thing: the heavens. These musings of hers can only be defined as daydreams, as they are both fantastical and romanticized.
Juliet is a naive daydreamer. At the age of 13 she falls madly in love with Romeo and thinks everything will be okay even though they belong to two different feuding families. Even though her and Romeo's relationship doesn't have much hope, she doesn't give up and doesn't realize it until the end. She is so young and naive that she doesn't even know what love really is. The whole situation and play is extremely unfortunate.If naive Juliet had known she had been foreshadowing her future in this passage there might have been hope..

This passage shows how she is a naive because she believes their relationship it will end well when it obviously won't end well.
