Romeo sees what he thinks is Juliet lifless and cold. He professes his love for her and kisses her. Romeo says, "Come, bitter conduct, come, unsavory guide!/ Thou desperate pilot, now at once run on/ The dashing rocks thy seasick weary bark! Here's to my love (drinking)/ Oh true apothecary/
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.
- JULIET: It’s only your name that’s my enemy! Forget your name and be only mine! - ROMEO: So I’ll be only yours my angel!
Juliet is expressing her concerns that she is in love with a Montague and she doesn’t think that her family will be approving their relationship. Juliet questions why does Romeo have to be a Montague. During this soliloquy, Juliet also says the famous lines,” What’s in a name? That which we call a rose / By any other word would smell as sweet”, meaning that a name is a name and a person is a person and the name does not label the person (II.ii.43-44).
It was a normal sunny day. Samantha was abandoned by the parents at age 15. Samantha woke up knowing that she was not alone in her house. She felt this type of presence with her in her room. She gets a phone call from her friends she had met the day before.
In William Shakespeare’s drama Romeo and Juliet and Robert Wise and Jerome Robbins’s film West Side Story, the main male characters, Romeo and Tony, are depicted as being consubstantial and dissimilar in terms of personality. Tony is the more modern counterpart of Romeo. As many intricate events occur throughout the film and the drama, Tony and Romeo’s characteristics, words, and actions reveal how similar and different they are. Although Romeo and Tony are both affectionate, passionate men, Romeo acts on capricious and irrational tendencies, whereas Tony is more stable and mature. Romeo and Tony are both headstrong young men.
Friar Lawrence gives Juliet a potion so that she will be in a deep sleep and it will look like she is dead. This way she will not have to marry Paris. Juliet chooses to take the vial and says, “Romeo, Romeo, Romeo! Here’s drink. I drink to thee” (4.3, 59)!
I have killed the cousin of my love. Surely Juliet must think worse of me even if she doth not speak it so. *Sigh* oh Juliet. My beloved wife.
(I, v, l.140-141). She decides her love is more importnat than her family and muses to 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.” ( II, ii, l. 34-36) She still pursues and has intentions to continue her relationship as she says "this bud of love, by summer’s ripening breath, may prove a beauteous flower when next we meet."
Out of a library once I read “ There are people who want a relationship like Romeo and Juliet’s without knowing that lasted three days and caused six deads!” This sarcastic but indeed real sentence has nothing to do with the idea of overwhelming, powerful, idyllic and especially ideal love that we are all used to associate to Romeo and Juliet. What does ideal actually means? Ideal : 1.
Early in the play, when Romeo is listening in on Juliet’s soliloquy on the balcony, Juliet says she wishes Romeo had some other name. Romeo immediately steps forward and replies, “Call me but love and I’ll be baptized. Henceforth, I never will be Romeo” (2.2.54). Although Romeo and Juliet have met just that very night, Romeo is already ready to forsake his family name, a source of great pride, and begin a new life with a girl he barely knows. This headstrong devotion leads to his demise.
There is love at first sight but is it true love? In the book “Romeo and Juliet”, Romeo and Juliet may show signs of love and say things like “I would die for you” but is it coming from the heart or are they just saying it. They had only truly met at the Capulet’s Ball but Juliet is already saying “ My only love sprung from my only hate.” (1.5, 136)
Juliet asks ‘What’s in a name?’, the theme of illogical family feuding is seen Romeo and Juliet cannot be together because their parents don't approve. This still happens today, especially with young
