Relationship Between Romeo And Juliet

The previous passage was Romeo describing Juliet as beautiful as the sun, and professing his love for Juliet . At this point, Romeo is in the garden speaking to Juliet on the balcony. He refers to Juliet as the light of his world, and uses colorful imagery to describe her looks. This is one another example of the false love that exists. In addition to this quote, the narrator of the play describes Romeo and Juliet as “star-crossed lovers”. Another quote by Juliet describing Romeo in a sexual, lustful way is as follows;

Shakespeare’s use of nature in the balcony scene is most commonly referenced when discussing Romeo’s comparison of Juliet to the sun. By comparing Juliet’s beauty to the sun, the text conveys the idea of Juliet coming into Romeo’s life has changed him for the better. Romeo begins his monologue with, “Juliet is the sun.” (Shakespeare 2.2.3). The sun is the center of the universe, and Romeo uses the sun to state that Juliet is the center of his universe. The use of this metaphor gives a comparison between the consistency of the sun and his love for Juliet. The sun is a symbol of rebirth for Romeo. When the sun rises in the morning, it is

I am heartbroken over the deaths of my master and friend, Romeo, Juliet, who brought Romeo great happiness, and county Paris, who I knew to be a very honorable man. I hope that this court session will bring justice for Romeo, Juliet, and Paris. To help bring this justice, I will truthfully tell you all that I know.

Shakespeare uses love to convey how people don’t take responsibility for their actions. When Mercutio dies Romeo has a lack of maturity and this quote depicts that. “This gentleman, the Prince's near ally, My very friend, hath got this mortal hurt In my behalf. My reputation stained With Tybalt’s slander--Tybalt, that an hour Hath been my cousin! O sweet Juliet, Thy beauty hath made me effeminate And in my temper softened valor’s steel.” (3.1.115-120) In this quote Romeo is saying his thought out loud which is a soliloquy. By showing that Romeo is alone Shakespeare shows that the security of the marriage is very important and also shows how he does not take the blame for Mercutio's death. Lack of maturity or responsibility causes people to not take responsibility in their actions. Romeo after Mercutio dies was overly ragged and all in his mind at this point was to kill Tybalt. “Thou wretched boy that didst consort him here Shalt with him hence. This shall determine that. Romeo, away be gone! The citizens are up, and Tybalt slain. Stand not amazed. The Prince will doom thee death If thou art taken. Hence, be gone, away.” (3.1.135-141) During this quote Tybalt calls romeo a wretched boy, this is an epithet. By Tybalt calling Romeo a wretched boy this is emphasising how much he hates or strongly dislikes him. Using vulgar language against other people shows lack of maturity and how people don’t take responsibility for their actions. In this book juliet also makes rash decisions that show her lack of maturity. "If all else fail, myself have power to die" (3.5.244) Juliet said this when she was being forced to marry Paris. In this quote Juliet may not know it but she is using the literary device pathos which helps her deliver the message of sadness and how irrational this decision is. So people who make irrational and quick decisions could be because they have a lack of maturity and don’t take responsibility for their actions. People could say they love someone but it could all be out of lust because of lack of maturity. “Did my heart love till now? Forswear it, sight! / For I ne'er saw true beauty till this night" (I.5.52-53). Romeo is bouncing from one girl to another based on looks which shows he has lack of

Tragedy is an unfortunate event that happens due to the choices a person makes, the uncontrollable circumstances they are placed in and other people’s actions. Romeo and Juliet’s individual choices have a major part to play in their tragic deaths but they are absolutely not the only cause. The star-crossed lovers are put in situations out of their control and take their own lives in an attempt to be together, thus ending the ageless quarrel between their families. Without the outside influences, such as fate, the star-crossed lovers may never have taken their lives. Although Romeo and Juliet’s rash decisions are not the sole cause of their death, they do play a major part in the outcome.

In the play Romeo and Juliet, William Shakespeare used a fair amount of figurative language to express the feelings between Romeo and Juliet. The young minded individuals start to fall in love at a quick pace. Juliet and Romeo have uncontrolled feelings for each other and this causes them to make irrational decisions. Romeo uses metaphors and similes to compare Juliet to some of earth’s most beautiful things. Romeo declares that “It is the east, and Juliet is the sun”, by doing this he is showing Juliet’s beauty. He persuades her to come out of her bedroom by saying “Arise, fair sun, and kill the envious moon.” He used the moons credibility to show how he feels towards Juliet and manipulate her to come out onto the balcony to see him. While

The fact that Romeo and Juliet chose to kill themselves in the end implies that fate had nothing to do with their deaths. They had to make the decisions themselves of whether or not they wanted to live without each other. When Romeo defies the stars he entails that fate has no control over him now and he will make sure that he kills himself, therefore nothing will get in his way. Romeo’s love for Juliet is shown through his quick decision making and actions, and the audience figures out that fate has nothing to do with their deaths.

Despite their families being life long enemies, he felt that his love for the fair Juliet could quench the rising flames of their parent's “ancient grudge”(prologue). He slipped away from his friends and stumbled across a great stone wall. Pulled by the string of destiny to make his way over the wall, he lands in a strange place he would soon recognize as the Capulet’s orchard right in front of Juliet’s balcony. Juliet soon emerges and Romeo can not help but fall in love with her all over again. As he gazes at her from below, the glimmer of her eyes enrapture her and he sighs to himself: “Two of the fairest stars in all the heaven, having some business, do entreat her eyes to twinkle in their spheres till they return. What if her eyes were there, they in her head? The brightness of her cheek would shame those stars as daylight doth a lamp” (2.2.16-22). Since Juliet’s eyes seemed to twinkle and shine under the pale moonlight, the stars would’ve asked them to take their place in the sky temporarily as they go elsewhere. However, upon their return, the stars would be ashamed to find that her eyes had burned brighter than themselves. Moreover, the rosiness and shine of Juliet’s cheeks were enough to shame all things that claimed to be bright. Such as the light from a lamp cannot compare to sunlight, nothing would have surpassed the brilliant light of Juliet’s eyes and face overall. As his eyes flit upwards towards her brightly lit balcony, Juliet makes her way further into his sight. Romeo, hidden in the shadows, silently watches as she relives the precious four minutes that the two lovebirds had shared. However, Romeo can no longer stay in silence and jumps into her view to confess his love back to the fair Juliet who in turn had been confessing to him without even realizing it. As expected, Juliet is taken aback by his sudden appearance but is even more shocked at

dark references to exhibit how her affection for Romeo is more powerful than the conflicts between their families. This is first portrayed through the death of Tybalt, Juliet’s cousin. While the tragedy took a toll on the family, Juliet was relieved to hear that Romeo was alive, and desired to see him once more before he would be banished to Mantua. For example, while eagerly awaiting his arrival, she states, “Give me my Romeo, and when I shall die,/Take him and cut him out in little stars,/And he will make the face of heaven so fine/That all the world will be in love with night/And pay no worship to the garnish sun” (3.2.23-27). Juliet expresses her love and affection for Romeo, even though she is forbidden to do so. He provides her with unconditional light and happiness in contrast to the hatred of both families, demonstrating how essential he is to her. Similarly, as Romeo is preparing to part ways with Juliet before his exile, she declares, “It was the nightingale, and not the lark,/That pierced the fearful hollow of thine ear./Nightly she sings on yond pomegranate tree./Believe me, love, it was the nightingale: (3.5.2-5). In this case, night represent light and day darkness. By trying to convince Romeo to stay longer, Juliet risks getting caught by her parents. This proves that her relationship is more compelling with Romeo than that of her family. Juliet’s portrayal of Romeo as light is significant in showing how their relationship can

The death of the title couple in Shakespeare’s play The Tragedy of Romeo and Juliet is their own faults. Romeo, for instance, is evidently a brash and naive child who has “so soon forsaken” (2:3:73) his affections toward Rosaline, becoming shallowly enamored with Juliet’s “true beauty” (1:5:58) without any knowledge of her identity. The Friar rightfully criticizes the teenager’s affections toward Juliet as “not truly in [his] heart, but in [his] eyes”(2:3:72). His lack of self control creates issues for both of the families and for his own life. He decides to go against the logic of restraining his sudden affliction for his “foe”(1:5:132) and creates demise for the both of them by initiating a relationship that they could not foreseeably sustain.

When it first blooms, it is light and glimmering with hope. The two don’t yet realize the magnitude of what they have gotten themselves into. As time progresses, their love becomes a source of danger. The first inclination that this marriage might not be the best idea is Mercutio’s death. His death symbolizes the end of the comedy and the fall into darkness. Mercutio’s demise is soon followed by Tybalt and Paris’s, as well as both Romeo and Juliet’s deaths. The unbridled passion of the two teenagers ultimately leads to the deaths of many and emotional scars on all who remain. However, there is a sprinkling of hope when it is revealed that the lovers are dead. Both Capulet and Montague families realize the deadliness of their fighting and pledge to never allow this to happen again. The friar’s prediction was correct, in that the love between Romeo and Juliet will bring their families together. Although, he might not have anticipated the level of bloodshed that also resulted. The repetition of this light and dark imagery is a sample of parallelism. The repeated descriptions of Juliet as being the light that pushes away all evil shows how her love will eventually turn the tide and bring peace to

But soft! What light through yonder window breaks?It is the east, and Juliet is the sun. Arise, fair sun, and kill the envious moon, who is already sick and pale with grief, that thou, her maid, art far more fair than she. Be not her maid since she is envious. Her vestal livery is but sick and green, and none but fools do wear it. Cast it off! It is my lady. Oh, it is my love. Oh, that she knew she were! She speaks, yet she says nothing. What of that? Her eye discourses. I will answer it.— I am too bold. 'Tis not to me she speaks. Two of the fairest stars in all the heaven, having some business, do entreat her eyes to twinkle in their spheres till they return. What if her eyes were there, they in her head? The brightness of her cheek would shame those stars as daylight doth a lamp. Her eye in heaven would through the airy region stream so bright that birds would sing and think it were not night. See how she leans her cheek upon her hand. Oh, that I were a glove upon that hand that I might touch that cheek!” What Romeo is saying is that Juliet is really beautiful, even the moon gets jealous by her beauty. Even though Romeo knows their love is forbidden, he still shows his affection for her and shows that he is deeply in love with her. He also said he wanted her to know how much he loved her. He said that the brightest stars in the universe asked her to twinkle her eyes while they were gone. What I found very interesting here is that Shakespeare was comparing Juliet to parts of the universe. I found this part very well by giving us a great imagery of what Juliet would look like. Shakespeare probably was amazed by astrology and the universe and

She then begins mourning that she is a Capulet and he a Montague. Juliet could not bear the thought that the one she loved the most was her family’s most prominent enemy. After hearing her profess her love for him, Romeo comes from out of the shadows and expresses his love for her also. He climbs up the tree in order to could reach her balcony, and the star crossed lovers exchange vows with one another. Romeo swears by the moon, but Juliet requests of him that he would not because the moon is inconstant, changing as it rotates around the Earth. After revealing their devout love for each other, the nurse calls for Lady Juliet and the two must part ways, until Juliet sends for him the next day, their wedding

In scene I, the audience learns more about the feud between the Capulet and Montague families. The intense hatred between these families sets the mood of the scene. The atmosphere is filled with hostility and hatred. The feud is portrayed as deep-rooted but also trivial. No reason for the feud is revealed. The senselessness of the fight serves to heighten the tragedy of Romeo and Juliet’s eventual deaths. It shows that the two families’ hatred will stand in the way of Romeo and Juliet’s love.
