In Shakespeare’s “Romeo and Juliet,” the “playboy” character of Romeo utilizes figurative language, specifically hyperbole, to manipulate the young-minded Juliet into falling for him. One would use such exaggeration to make someone feel extra special about one’s self. It renders that person vulnerable. They are capable of reaching their desires through words and this concept would fittingly apply to love as well. There are many boys out there who would try and get with a cute girl and they all do this through language. They are determined to get their loved ones and it will not matter what they say to do it. Romeo tells Juliet at their encounter,”My life were better ended by their hate than death prorogued, wanting of thy love.”(2.2.27-28)
