The problem is about analyzing a Shakespearean play (Romeo and Juliet) excerpt, focusing on how the playwright reveals private thoughts (likely through soliloquies or dialogue) and why it matters (to show character depth, emotions, intentions). The subfield Literature (under Arts) applies as it deals with literary analysis of plays, character thoughts, and dramatic techniques.

To answer "How mainly does the playwright reveal the private thoughts of the characters?" - Shakespeare mainly uses dialogue (and soliloquies, though here it's intimate dialogue) where characters like Juliet and Romeo express their inner feelings about names, love, and identity. For "Why does it matter?" - Revealing private thoughts (via dialogue/soliloquies) matters as it deepens audience understanding of characters' emotions, motivations (like Romeo's willingness to renounce his name for love, Juliet's longing), builds emotional connection, and advances the plot's romantic conflict (overcoming family feuds through love's intensity shown in private thoughts).
(Note: For the "Highlight in RED..." part, as a text - based response, we can identify the lines: Romeo's "Call me but love, and I'll be new baptized; Henceforth I never will be Romeo." and Juliet's "What man art thou that, thus bescreened in night, So stumblest on my counsel?" as they show private thoughts about identity/love and surprise at Romeo's presence, revealing inner feelings about love, secrecy, and self - redefinition.)
