Corrected entry: In the scene where Viola and William are in bed reading the play together Viola says, 'and Juliet is the sun, arise fair sun'. At this point in the film William has not yet changed the name of the play and it is still Romeo and Rosaline. William does not change the name of the play to Romeo and Juliet for another ten minutes so she would have said Rosaline not Juliet.

Correction: Ned suggests the name be changed to "Romeo and Juliet" because he still believes the play is entitled "Mercutio". The female role has been 'Juliet' since the real Rosaline betrayed Will by sleeping with Mr. Tilney.
