Romeo and Juliet: why does Juliet tell her mother riddles? how does her mother react to the riddles?

Question

the scsnces are Act 1 Scene 3 and Act 3 Scene 5

Answer 1

Not so much riddles in act 3 scene 5 but double meanings: "temper" has two meanings in this context to make stronger the poison--Lady Capulet takes this to be Juliet's meaning--and to dilute, which is what Juliet really means.
