It is often to find people's love life to turn into unexpected circumstances. Many start their relationship with the thought to stay forever, despite it possibly can end with a lifelong parting. The play Romeo and Juliet presents a pair of star-crossed lovers that promised to stay together eternally but ended with tragedy. In this play, William Shakespeare analyzes fate through foreshadowing, imagery, and personification to develop a message that life will always fall in a predestinated order without the exception of love.
Along these lines, Romeo has developed his metaphor through personification. He creates the illusion that the moon is a woman who is "sick and pale with grief," as if he envies her radiant beauty, despite the fact that no one can prevent or force love. "There are forty ducats. Let me have a dram of poison". (5.1.62-64)
In the play Romeo and Juliet, Shakespeare uses personification to view death as something that took away his daughter and it gives death these human traits to describe it. When Capulet discovers that Juliet has died he describes death a someone who just stole his daughter “Death, that hath ta’en her hence to make me wail, / Ties up my tongue and will not let me speak. / Death is my son-in-law” Capulet is referring to how death took away his only child Juliet before she could be married (4.5.32-38). Shakespeare applied personification here to make Juliet’s death to her father seem tragic and unexpected. This shows the audience that Capulet views death as a human who married his daughter before she could marry Paris.
" Or if love be blind, it best agrees with night" ( act 3 scene 2 pg 13 line 9) In the play Romeo and Juliet the author William Shakespeare uses personification. William Shakespear uses a lot of personification in his play theses are the 3 ones that will be covered in this paper: " Some say the lark and loathed toad changed eyes"(pg 31 line 31 William Shakespeare act 3 scene 5), " Or if love be blind, it best agrees with night" ( act 3 scene 2 pg 13 line 9 by William Shakespeare), come gentle night. come loving black-browed night" ( act 3 scene 2 pg 13 line 20 by William Shakespeare )
It is the east, and Juliet is the sun. Arise, fair sun, and kill the envious moon, Who is already sick and pale with
In Act I, Sc. 5 of Romeo and Juliet, Shakespeare utilizes light and religious imagery to characterize Romeo and Juliet’s love as worshipful. Shakespeare uses light to reflect their love by showing, through Romeo’s descriptions of Juliet, how Romeo sees Juliet as an illumination. In line 51, Romeo declares, “O, she doth teach the torches to burn bright,” implying that her beauty and grace light up her surroundings. He adds, “And touching hers, make blessed my rude hand,” which displays his veneration for her. In the way Shakespeare crafts this scene, readers see that Romeo considers Juliet to be something akin to his North Star -- she guides him and illuminates his world.
He comments on how radiant Julie’s beauty is, and how she reminds him of a rich jewel, being that her beauty is “too rich for use”. Juliet is so beautiful that her looks outdo any jewel out there. Romeo sees her as a light in the darkness, comparing her to a white dove flying among black crows, she is just so beautiful, that she stands out. Romeo is so taken back by Juliet, that he instantly falls in love, and follows Juliet so they can meet. This is just the very start of Romeo and Juliet’s relationship and growing love for one
The all seeing sun ne’er saw her match since first the world began.” (Act I, scene ii, lines 92-93). In these lines, he is talking about Rosaline and how no woman could ever be as beautiful as her. However, Romeo quickly switches over to thinking that Juliet is the most beautiful girl in the world. “For I ne’er saw true beauty till this night.”
/ For I ne’er saw true beauty till this night” (1.5.52-53). With the personalization of the sun and moon as well as the similar situations, the song conveys the enchanting love felt by Romeo and
(1.5.45). Also when he says, “Did my heart love till now? Forswear it, sight! For I ne’er saw true beauty till this night.” (1.5.51-52).
O, it is my love” (Romeo and Juliet 2.2.10). Romeo felt genuine love for Juliet and had a greater attraction for Juliet because she was more beautiful than other women. Juliet begs, “Deny thy father and refuse thy name” (2.2.34). Juliet believed that the world
The Dark (and Light) Sides of the Moon Within a Midsummer 's Night 's Dream 's Just as the sun serves as a symbol of bravery and resonates with masculinity, the moon has long been linked with feminine energy. It 's been associated with virginity, purity, infertility and chastity: aspects typically thought of as womanlike in nature. Its patron is the chaste Greek lunar goddess of the hunt, Artemis, who directly contrasts her twin brother Apollo, god of the sun and the arts. The moon is also associated with the feminine element of water, and holds dominion over the tides: it controls their flowing and ebbing, and can either draw the waters back or overflow them at a moment 's notice to completely devastate the land. It 's a celestial body that manages to embody both strength and grace in equal measure, all while retaining its distinctly female image amongst the celestial bodies.
For thou art As glorious to this night, being o’er my head”(2.2.26-27). With this quote, Romeo is comparing Juliet to a “bright angel.” His description of Juliet’s beauty shows that he likes to exaggerate when it comes to love. In fact, Romeo uses many metaphors when describing Juliet, all of them hyperbolized. His many uses of exaggeration show his appreciation of Juliet’s beauty and how much he desires to be with her.
The young lovers, conversely, have the moon shine a different light upon them. It is 'by moonlight at [Hermia's] window' (1.1.30) that Lysander woos her. Only through the Endymion myth would the Elizabethan audience associate the moon with love. The tale of Endymion and Selene differs throughout sources, but it is generally assumed that the moon-goddess Selene would visit Endymion as he slept in order to gaze upon his beauty. Just as Selene would behold her love at night, Lysander does so too.
This is one of the best examples of the use of light and dark imagery, as Shakespeare creates a visual picture to compare Juliet’s beauty to the light of the sun, but it also symbolizes the lover’s plight to remain together. Though they love each other so deeply, Juliet is the sun while Romeo is the moon; their fate enables them to be together briefly just as the celestial objects are only to meet at dawn and dusk successfully portraying their love. Romeo continues the inference of Juliet’s eyes to that of the light and beauty of the brightest of stars, when he states, " Two of the fairest stars in all the heaven, Having some business, do entreat her eyes
