Passage 1 : (Act II, Scene 2) “But soft, what light through yonder window breaks? It is the East, and Juliet is the sun.” - Romeo Passage 2 : (Act V, Scene 1) “A dram of poison, such soon-speeding gear As will disperse itself through all the veins That the life-weary taker may fall dead.” - Romeo I think the author chose to use the imagery of sunlight in the first passage because Shakespeare creates a theme of light and dark throughout the book; the light being Juliet and the darkness being Romeo. He speaks of the sunlight rising in the East, symbolizing Juliet’s escalating importance to him. In the second passage, the author uses symbolization form of figurative language, because he wants to create slight irony that Romeo only drank the poison to be with Juliet in the afterlife, and Juliet only took the poison as to be with Romeo in actuality. The poison also …show more content…
Juliet is seen as the light of Romeo’s world, while he is seen as the forbidden darkness. She is worshipped and adored by men and boys alike, a prized possession of her father’s making. Romeo does come from prestigious background, but he is the lowest of the earth to the Capulets, and it was unimaginable to think that their daughter would ever associate herself with such tenebrosity. I think that Romeo and Juliet is a perfect example of the butterfly effect. So many factors were in play that caused tragedy. If the families hadn’t had a rivalry, the kids wouldn’t have to hide their love. If they were open about their romance, Juliet wouldn’t have taken the poison, and then Romeo wouldn’t have taken his poison, Paris wouldn’t have killed himself, and Juliet wouldn’t have stabbed herself. In the passage, Romeo is expressing his despair of having to live without her, and he begs for a way to be reunited with his love once
The body was easily movable as the fixed state of rigor mortis had disappeared. As they laid him out on the body bag, the Coroner examined the body for the missing bullet. The last bullet belonging to Two Six Romeo, he expected to find somewhere in the body. “Get this guy over to the L.A. Morgue,” said the Coroner. “You guys with the wagon, tell them I want them to do him first.
Romeo had returned from Mantua and saw Juliet lying down believing she was dead. He was in despair. Not only had he been banished but the love of his life, lies lifeless before him. He lied next to her in sorrow. As he lies down with his darling Juliet, he leans down to give his love one last kiss.
William Shakespeare’s illustrious play, Romeo and Juliet, takes place in Verona, Italy where the readers meet start-crossed lovers, Romeo and Juliet and watch them meet by fate and fall in love instantly, whilst their parents are mortal enemies who have been fighting for decades. Their confessed love for each other doesn’t last long, as both of them commit suicide for the love of the other. Prior to the passage, Juliet is standing on her balcony as she is talking to herself about Romeo and admits her love for him but little did she know that Romeo was standing right there and head her say all of it. He then goes to her and admits his love for her and they plan to get married the next day. In the passage provided, Shakespeare introduces
Juliet travels to the Guernsey Island to collect stories of people’s lives during World War 2. What she learns restores her faith in humanity. “Sophie- what is the matter with me? Am I too particular? I don’t want to be married just to be married.
The story resumes as Romeo walks into the tomb that Juliet’s body’s final resting place, at least that is what Romeo thought. He was full of dread as he made his way to his wife’s body, little did he know that she was not really dead. He was sure that he did not want to live a life without his love, Juliet. Romeo had stopped beforehand to get poison, he was unsure, but he was sure of one thing, Juliet was the one he was meant to be with and now that she was gone he had lost his will to live. Romeo had been full of sorrow and he could not imagine living the rest of his life like this.
Romeo & Juliet Romeo got the message that Juliet has Taken a Potion to make her sleep for 42 hours and when she awakes they would waste no time and move to Montua. Juliet is now in the tomb and romeo waits for his sweet Star Crossed Lover to awake. Romeo- Oh juliet… my dear sweet lover i cannot wait until you awake. I’ve been away from you for far too long.
Romeo and Juliet were impatient and did not take their consequences of love appropriately. Romeo’s flaw of over relying on himself rather than fate led them to their
Shakespeare uses figurative language to develop complex characters. Throughout Romeo and Juliet Shakespeare uses Paradox and Juxtaposition to show that Romeo is always confused about his love life, and to show how much he loves Juliet. Romeo states, “Arise fair sun and kill the envious moon” (2.2.2-25). This shows how much Romeo loves Juliet because he is saying that he wants the night to end and the next day
This passage affects the plot, because this moment secured their marriage leading into their death. Their death is one of the key moments in this play. If Romeo hadn't risked his life to get into her garden then the plan to get married would’ve never happened. Additionally, if they didn't get married, then Juliet would have been forced to marry Paris. However, this is something that Juliet didn’t want to do.
What is the significance of Heaven? Shakespeare always had a fascination with the tie between human and earth when writing his plays “Earth-treading stars that make dark heaven light”and he used this connection throughout his life to show a variety of different things (I.II.283). In Act 3, Scene 2 of Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet, Juliet makes a speech that relates man to heaven and then Romeo to heaven. This speech is one of the many ways throughout the play that Shakespeare foreshadows the ending.
William Shakespeare consistently uses language that displays celestial imagery in order to explore enduring themes such as love, loss, destiny and vengeance throughout his classic play Romeo and Juliet. The uses of imagery that Romeo uses bequeath not only the idea of fate, but meaningful symbols and metaphors to successfully convey the despair that the lover’s face in a way that we ourselves can feel their lust as well as their anguish. Throughout the play, Shakespeare uses imagery to portray the adoration and love Romeo has for Juliet using language to compare her to all that illuminates. Here Romeo professes, Two of the fairest stars in all the heaven,
Question 1 I have chosen to analyze a passage on page 109 from line 1-10. In this passage Romeo looks up at Juliet's window hoping to catch a glimpse of her. He compares Juliet to the sun and prays that it's not the maid that is the light "through yonder window breaks". Shakespeare uses a mix of both enjambment and caesura (line 3, line 6 & line 9) in this particular passage.
The motif light versus dark in The Tragedy of Romeo and Juliet is developed by time and fate to prove how Romeo and Juliet have a natural love for each other. The motif light versus dark sets a tone for the story when Romeo uses it to compare Juliet beauty to things. An example of this is when Romeo tells (Juliet that She doth teaches the torches to burn bright) 1.5.42.53. He is comparing Juliet to the torches light and saying that she is brighter than the burning torch.
Romeo and Juliet is a tragedy because they were meant to fall in love as soon as the two lovers met. Romeo and Juliet are from families who’ve been feuding for many years. Its tragic because they have to not be seen when they talk because it can lead to Romeo being killed for trespassing on the Capulets side of Verona The quote “ The orchard walls are high and hard to climb, and the place of death, considering who thon art, if
In Romeo and Juliet, the imagery of light is displayed consistently throughout the play. Light is a symbol for the daytime. Light represents happiness and love. Romeo says, “ But soft!
