“Dawn” could be interpreted as a metaphor for awareness, and how reality becomes self evident. This interpretation of dawn can also contribute to the knowledge of empathy and people’s surroundings. Juliet pleads to Romeo, “‘Therefore stay yet; thou need'st not to be gone,” Romeo answers with, “‘Let me be ta'en, let me be put to death;,”’ (Romeo and Juliet 3.5.16-17). Out of sadness Juliet asks Romeo to stay in town to be with her, but she soon recognizes that Romeo will stay and die for her, which demonstrates Juliet's awareness of Romeo staying and risking his life for their relationship. In the song Summertime Sadness by Land Del Rey she sang, “I know if I go, I'll die happy tonight” (doc.2). These song lyrics determine that she is aware
The Tragedy of Romeo and Juliet is one of the greatest love stories ever told. This is evident in today’s society, with the story being retold again and again in theatre productions, books, and movie spinoffs. The story is of two lovers, whose love was doomed from the start due to their disputing families, the Capulets and Montagues, who would never see a marriage between the two. Romeo and Juliet eventually take their own lives, ceasing their families’ fighting. William Shakespeare, the playwright who wrote Romeo and Juliet and likely the most famous playwright ever, uses light and dark imagery within the story to highlight the lovers’ affection for one another against the backdrop of their lives. The motif of light and dark is used, with
In Romeo and Juliet, Shakespeare reveals the plays turning point of light and dark, day and night, comparing it to good and bad throughout the plot. IN the beginning Romeo compares Juliet to the sun, and kills the darkness with light. He says “Arise, fair sun and kill the envious of the moon.”(2.2.1) Romeo is comparing Juliet to the sin because he wants to see her so the day time is better then the night. As the play continuous Friar Lawrence talks about the night turning into day, saying “The grey-ey’d morn smiles in the frowning night, chequering the eastern clouds with streaks of light...” (2.3.1) This is referring to that the sun kills the darkness of night and makes the earth happier, after this is
In Romeo and Juliet we learn how Shakespeare uses vivid language to build character and depth in their roles. Shakespeare was a poet, playwright and an actor with a great love for language. Shakespeare was of great importance when it came down to the moulding and developing of the English language. Shakespeare had such an immense love for language that he created neologisms that we use in everyday life. Some of these neologisms he created include words such as puke, lonely, bedroom, democracy etc. in the play he developed numerous characters that played incredibly believable roles. An example of how Shakespeare made his characters believable was Tybalt, who spoke only forty lines in the entire play. Though he
Shakespeare expresses Juliet’s longing for Romeo with the personification of the night and a hyperbole saying “all the world will be in love with night”. These 2 literary devices combine to enhance the suspenseful tone awaiting Romeo’s arrival in secret and foreshadow the characters deaths by having Juliet say the “when i shall die” that she still wants Romeo to be a part of her life. This very clearly foreshadows that she was going to take her own life and that the reason she was going to do so was so she could be with Romeo in heaven. Along with the light and dark being used to foreshadow the ending it was also used to describe it in act 5 scene 3 when Montague talks about, “A glooming peace this morning with it brings; The sun, of sorrow will not show his hand
After Romeo and Juliet had spent the night together Romeo must leave but Juliet doesn’t want him to go therefore she tells Romeo its still night for example “Wilt thou be gone? It is not yet near day.” Normally light represents happiness and darkness represents fear and doom but in Romeo and Juliet’s marriage they can only love in darkness which could mean doom to there relationship. Juliet says to Romeo that he has a pale face “Either my eye sight fails, or thou look’st pale,” which could mean she is referring to death which is ionic because the play ends in death.
“Love has nothing to do with what you are expecting to get — only with what you are expecting to give — which is everything.” (Hepburn) In the play Romeo and Juliet, there are two young lovers who falls in love but cannot be with together due to a feud going on between their families. Both lovers, Romeo and Juliet, are willing to give in everything to be together. In Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare, the theme that love can conquer all things is revealed through the use of dramatic irony and foreshadow.
Shakespeare’s use of symbolism assists in conveying this idea of love and purity. However, this pure representation of night is contradicted when Juliet fears of being trapped within the ‘horrible conceit of death and night” (IV, iv, 24). The irony that Shakespeare uses to illustrate Juliet’s state of mind demonstrates her still developing character as she is conflicted between the concept of betraying for family and death itself. At this point in the play, from Juliet’s ponders and contradictory, the audience is able to conclude that she is very much torn and indecisive of her motives.
Romeo’s first encounter with Juliet included metaphors that describe her beauty. He expresses her as being so beautiful and radiant that she is capable of teaching a torch how to be bright. Juliet is also compared to a jewel because she stands out in the crowd and brings brightness to a room. “O, she doth teach the torches to burn bright! It seems she hangs upon the cheek of night like a rich jewel in an Ethiope's ear” (Act 1, Scene 5) Additionally, there is imagery that describes how strong Romeo believes their love is. Romeo’s dream describes their love as being capable of resurrection. This quote also foreshadows the fate of Romeo because he finds Juliet “dead”. “I dreamt my lady came and found me dead, and breathed such life with kisses in my lips, that I revived, and was an emperor.” (act v, scene 1) Romeo compares Juliet to the sun, which is the ultimate source of life and light. This metaphoric image can be interpreted as Romeo requiring Juliet to survive, like how people on Earth need the Sun to live. "But, soft! what light through yonder window breaks? It is the east, and Juliet is the sun" (act something scene
The word “dawn” is used as a metaphor. Which is used as moment of awareness or self-evident. Consider that Romeo has self awareness and was self-evident to Juliet and as Romeo leaves, Juliet parents will try to posion Romeo because he killed Tybolt and Juliet is forced to marry Paris. ”Your lady mother is coming to your chamber.” ( Romeo & Juliet 3.51-64).This shows that Nurse is the lookout for Juliet and Romeo and that Romeo has to leave because he is banished from the town.
“Dawn” is sometimes a metaphor for a moment of awareness when reality becomes self-evident. When people are distracted they live in a dream and can not think to their full potential but when they start thinking clearly their dream becomes reality. Romeo and Juliet after they get married is a great example of this topic. Romeo and Juliet is a tragedy written by Shakespeare. The nurse says, “Your lady mother is coming to your chamber:
In Act II, scene v, Juliet’s caretaker, the nurse, goes to Romeo for details regarding his upcoming marriage with Juliet. When she returns, she teases Juliet by purposefully not telling her Romeo’s message, and they engaging in a friendly banter. Many exchanges later, the nurse finally tells Juliet the news, and the nurse helps prepare Juliet for the important things that are to come. Juliet’s dialogue with the nurse and change of tone characterize their relationship. Juliet and the nurse share a loving, yet playful relationship.
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
When one is self cognizant to the point that reality becomes self-evident a common metaphorical word, “dawn” is used to describe that instance. Sometimes when this occurs the recipient’s mind is cleared from all things, perceives the overall speculation of the incident, and unmasks the greater threat in some occurrences as well. This can be exemplified in the play The Tragedy of Romeo And Juliet Act 3 Scene 5 Lines 1-64 when Juliet is staggering to believe that she might never see Romeo again and when she does that he might just be dead “I have an ill-divining soul! Methinks I see thee, now thou art below, As one dead in the bottom of a tomb”(Romeo and Juliet 3.5.29). The thought that Romeo is going to be banished far away and that he is no longer going to be protected just dawned on Juliet

When people finally understand the reality of a situation, it can put them down or make them more worried for what’s to come in the future.
