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
The connection of Dreams and Fate Well, what are dreams? Dreams are the succession of images, ideas, emotions and sensations that can be experienced throughout a period of sleep. Many dreams are usually connected to the subconscious and are the altered state of the conscious parts of the brain. In this play, the dreams were a major part of this calamity and were shown throughout the play as Romeo’s dreams actually came true.
The use of “dawn” in a moment of clarity refers to the instant one sees a situation in a new light. In a moment of clarity, a thought becomes clear and the thinker is able to view their conflict from a new position allowing new possibilities to be explored. In Romeo & Juliet Act III, Scene 5, Romeo “‘More light and light; more dark and dark our woes!”’ ( Romeo & Juliet 3.5.36). Romeo is using Juliet’s request for him to avoid the light of day to explain the reality of their circumstance, the reality being that the light of day can only shed darkness on their relationship.
This theme is portrayed in the sense of Romeo’s sudden love for Juliet, upon his first glance of her. In Act Two Scene Two, Romeo declares his love for Juliet. In the lines “Juliet is the sun” , there is a clear metaphor. This metaphor basically
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
The prince says, "A glooming peace this morning with it brings/ The sun, for sorrow, will not show his head/ Go hence, to have more talk of these sad things/ Some shall be pardon 'd, and some punished/ For never was a story of more woe/Than this of Juliet and her Romeo" (5.3.304).
Thus, light imagery is effectively used to establish the romantic atmosphere of Romeo and Juliet’s first encounter, whereas dark imagery is used to foreshadow the dreadful events of the play’s conclusion, therefore creating a suspenseful atmosphere. Moreover, characters in the play use light imagery as they experience the elation of love, yet also dark imagery as they feel the heartbreak of rejection. Thus, as shown in Romeo and Juliet, the balance between light and darkness, happiness and sadness is a natural occurrence, which one cannot prevent nor
The third major event that happens is in act 5 scene 5 where the entire situation falls apart and both the lovers end up dead due to a lack of planning and communication. This scene is extremely important because the entire play been leading up to the point where the two lovers can finally be together. Juliet going to the extreme of faking her own death and Romeo risking death by coming back. But due to a lack of communication Romeo never knew that his wife was not actually dead. And drinks poison killing himself.
Romeo and Juliet’s love seemed like a little harmless thing, but the reality was that their “love” led them to their eternal doom. Shakespeare applies the use of diction in the climax to further advance the motif of dreams. When Romeo first sees Juliet lying in the tomb he describes her as “Is crimson in thy lips and in thy
The word “dawn” is sometimes used as metaphor for a moment of awareness when reality becomes self-evident. When people reach a dawn in their life they don’t just only reach a moment of awareness but they also reach a mentality where they see things in a different way. In the story of Romeo and Juliet, Tybalt kills Mercutio and because of that Romeo steps in and fights him and then kills him which that then lead monstrosity over the Capulet’s and the Montague’s. So the Prince decides to banish Romeo and when Juliet hears about this she kind of felt a sense of betrayal with him. “ Kiss me hard before you go/Summertime sadness/
The contrast illustrates how love and hate are two sides of the same coin, where love springs forth from hate, and hate blooms out of love (anadiplosis). This intertwining reveals that they are part of the same whole, where you can’t have without the other. Thus, for the hatred to end between the Montague and the Capulets, the love between Romeo and Juliet must be sacrificed to pay the price, heightening the tragic ending. Modern trends portray the day with images of heaven and light, and darkness with depictions of anger and darkness. However, Shakespeare flips this symbolism, condemning the day while romanticizing the night.
Night time to the town is known for violence, crime, evil, and high chance of death. In the book by William Shakespeare, Romeo had feelings for a another woman named Rosaline. Which in the book he compares her to things that are involved with light, to where when he meets Juliet he compares her to the features of light hours. “It is the East and Juliet is the sun” (2.2.4). Romeo compares her to the East sun where the sun is usually where the sun is the most vibrant and beautiful.
ACT V SCENE I. Mantua. A street Enter Romeo ROMEO If dreams are real, My dreams have some joyful news; My heart full of love; And all today an unaccustomed spirit Lifts me up with cheerful thoughts.
“Dawn” is a metaphor especially used in literature for a moment of awareness of the reality surrounding a character. Also known as an epiphany, when the moment of awareness of reality becomes evident, one may crave to return to the “night”, or their ideal state. The scene opens with Juliet begging Romeo to remain in her presence just a bit longer, “Wilt thou be gone? It is not yet near day: It was the nightingale, and not the lark,” (Romeo And Juliet.
"Come on Juliet you can not just sit at home on a weekend and read books we have to wear our gorgeous dresses that your mother just sent you to come on live a little after all you are Juliet Capulet the daughter of the multi-billionaire," said Roslina.
