To begin with, Romeo is all too eager to find love, and rushes to find a new pretty face. Immediately after laying eyes on Juliet, Romeo is transfixed and believes that it is true love. Later that night, he wishes to marry her, saying that he can have satisfaction with “The exchange of thy love’s faithful vow for mine” (II. 2. 127). Romeo knows nothing about Juliet, only that she is the most beautiful girl that he has ever seen. Even after his last relationship fails, Romeo does not learn.
“Swear by thy gracious self, which is the god of my idolatry.” Juliet is idolizing Romeo, especially when she referred to him as her god while she was daydreaming about a future marriage proposal. In conclusion, relating to both Pickhardt’s article and Shakespeares' play, Romeo and Juliet’s romance can be categorized as a crush, because of them idolizing each other the first day they
When Romeo looks up at Juliet he states “ It is the East and Juliet is the sun” (Shakespeare 2.2.2-25). Romeo explains that Juliet is so bright and beautiful that she fills up her whole window compared to the fact the sun fills up everything in space. Romeo
“Young men’s love then lies not truly in their heart, but in their eyes” (ll. III.67-68). This shows that Friar think Romeo only is in love with Juliet because of her
In Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare, Romeo is currently admiring Juliet and comparing her to nature. He calls her the sun, he asks the sun to kill the envious moon. In the passage, Shakespeare illustrates the theme of love and how it can consume one’s thoughts. This theme is revealed through literary devices such as metaphors and personification. In the text, it says, “It is the East, and Juliet is the sun.”
Dr. Carl says A romantic crush is when one feels attached to another person and wants to be around them and be with them. Romeo and Juliet fell in love, but their love is forbidden because of their families fude, Romeo went to Juliet's house to plan how they are going to do a secret wedding with Friar Lawrence's blessing. Tybalt acts in transgression against Romeo and to back Romeo up Mercutio is there but Tybalt kills him so Romeo kills Tybalt. Romeo found Juliet and he felt a feeling he thought he would never feel again. Romeo was willing to do anything and change anything for her.
Staring at Juliet in complete adoration, he states, “O that I were a glove upon that hand,/ that I might touch that cheek”(2.2.24-25). Romeo uses metaphors to show how important Juliet is to him and what he would give just to touch her cheek. Using metaphors, Romeo can put his love and longing into words so Juliet can understand the effect she has on him. Juliet explains to Romeo that if someone finds him by Juliet's window, he will be killed. Romeo explains that he understands and is willing to take the risk for his
This also shows that Juliet is very obsessed with Romeo. She just met Romeo a week ago, meaning she has no experience of love. Not only, “O Romeo, Romeo! Wherefore art thou Romeo? Deny thy father and refuse thy name; Or, if thou wilt not, be but sworn my love, And I'll no longer be a Capulet.”.
Romeo and Juliet had just met and she claimed to already loved him; she knows nothing about him other than his family name. Juliet claimed she loves him without knowing him as a person. Moreover, Romeo and Juliet’s immaturity did not help to create a good depiction of love.
(Shakespeare 2.Prologue. 5-14). Juliet now loves Romeo, and Romeo equally cares for her, but they
Oh, it is my love. Oh, I wish she knew how much I love her.”. Romeo is sitting in Juliet’s back yard in a bush stalking her as she talks about him. Romeo is mumbling about how beautiful Juliet is to himself while he is hiding in the bush, stalking her.
Which illustrates the powerful admiration and love that Juliet has for Romeo.
It is the East, and Juliet is the sun! P. 766 Lines 2-3 Here Romeo is stating that Juliet is his source of light and happiness, similar to what was said about Rosaline.
Love is expressed differently in every relationship. Although Romeo and Juliet just met, Juliet is affectionate and loving towards Romeo. Juliet expresses her love through symbolism by saying “this bud of love, by summer's ripening breath, may prove a beauteous flower when next we meet”(II.ii.128-129). She symbolizes her love to a flower that is still growing, similarly to her relationship with Romeo. Juliet is honest with herself and understands that her relationship with Romeo is still growing and is not at its fullest yet.
This dramatic irony could connote how juliet knows that their love will end in tragedy but she is willing for that to happen if it means she can be with Romeo forever. However, this quotation could also suggest that juliet wants the “ancient grudge” to be over as she wants people to “pay no worship to the garish sun”. This could suggest that just like night is important to the couple as it is a place where they can be together and Romeo can “leap to these arms”, Juliet wants the hatred to vanish so that the couple can be together in the free and not in secret because their love is true and unwavering. However, in this scene, the darkness is seen as, almost ironically, something Juliet is eagerly waiting for. The darkness is almost like a safe haven for the couple as “ if love be
