Romeo and Juliet Act 3 Scene 1?

In Romeo and Juliet Act 1 Scene 3, what does the following quote mean?

  • “Did you fall on your face? / You’ll fall backwards when you know more, / won’t you, Juliet.” It's not that I'm trying to cheat on my homework, but I'm clueless and I don't know who to ask. Please help me.

which romeo and juliet are you reading? The one written by shakespeare doesn't have such a line. I did it twice, i could remember such a line.

I would say it's similar to what we say now... "falling head over heals in love." Yes, madam: yet I cannot choose but laugh, To think it should leave crying and say "Ay." And yet, I warrant, it had upon its brow A bump as big as a young cockerel's stone; (1.3.53) A parlous knock; and it cried bitterly: "Yea," quoth my husband,"fall'st upon thy face? Thou wilt fall backward when thou comest to age; Wilt thou not, Jule?" it stinted and said "Ay."

"Did you fall on your face? You’ll fall backwards when you know more, won’t you, Juliet." this statement would probably mean that Romeo was being modest, e.g. if say a girl/guy asked out another girl/guy this would generally refer to her/him meaning he/she is saying that they aren't good enough for this person. or it could have been refering to the fact that both their families were enemies, stuck in an enevitably neverending conflict because they were too attached to the past.
