Now that Juliet has met Romeo, she is lovestruck. After the party, Juliet is on the balcony, dreaming about Romeo. Little does she know that Romeo is hiding in the bushes. As he hides, Juliet speaks of him, “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
Romeo is shown to be poetic and romantic. He and his friends are on their way to the Capulet party when his friends encourage him to dance, but he refuses. He is still sad about Rosaline, the woman he loves. She doesn’t love him back as she has plans to become a nun. Romeo says, “Is love really
Romeo fell in love with Juliet the moment he saw her and wants Juliet to know that he will love her more than anything else, would
Loved ones, I welcome you all to this sorrowful place, to say goodbye to my beloved daughter, Juliet. If Juliet was here with us today, she would be more than overwhelmed with the audience attending her funeral. Standing here before you today is one of the hardest things I’ve ever had to do. Words cannot describe the sorrow and loss I am feeling. Juliet was my wife and I’s dearest, only child. She meant the world to us. A very obedient child, yet extremely strong in her dedication to love, rarely disobeying our wishes, only once... For her darling husband Romeo.
Romeo becomes convinced that Juliet is the most beautiful creature he has ever seen and ever will see. “Did my heart love till now? Forswear it, sight! For I ne’er saw true beauty till this night.” (I, 5, 57-58). Romeo says that his heart has never loved before that moment and that his eyes confirm that Juliet is truly a beauty to be sought. This quote shows how Romeo quickly forgets his lovesickness for Rosaline and falls deeply in love with Juliet. He says that he has never loved before showing that by fate directing Romeo to the party and Juliet to his heart, that fate brings Romeo and Juliet together.
“Shall I hear more, or shall I speak at this?” –Romeo (Act II, Scene 2, 37)
Romeo and Juliet were too impulsive with their decisions. After the ball when Romeo was secretly listening to Juliet announcing her love and he told her that he loved her too Juliet explained to Romeo that if he is caught that the guards will have him dead. Romeo responds “for stony
“Romeo, oh Romeo, where art thou Romeo.” This quote is what one would imagine when thinking about Shakespeare and the tragic tale of Romeo and Juliet. However, Romeo may not be as tragic of a hero as one would think. In Shakespeare’s tale of Romeo and Juliet, the two lovers are in feuding families and must keep their love secret. As time goes on, Juliet and Romeo fall deeply in love for each other despite their names, and wish for every second to be together. However, their love becomes intercepted when Juliet is told that she shall marry a man she does not like. While Juliet is trying to find a way to be with Romeo and get out of her arranged marriage, Romeo is faced with a duel with his soon to be cousin and his best friend. In a blind rage
Do not apologize for your absence, dear friend, as I have come to terms with your family’s busy schedule. Either way, I would like to be the first to congratulate you on such a momentous occasion, and fully support your unification with Romeo. Never has it crossed my mind that you would ever engage in such acts of love, being one to always detest the idea of a life-long commitment. Nevertheless, I feel the need to remind you of maintaining modesty and your composure, to ensure you don’t succumb to the unwanted pain that love can bring forth. Those initial feelings of love can often drive those inflicted to engage in irrational acts, which can be quite dangerous in your circumstances. Although I lack sufficient knowledge of who this Romeo
Juliet askes Romeo how he came to be in the Orchard. He tells her that love lead him to her. He states he is not experienced captain, but he would travel and risk it all to find her, she is worth the risk that he took to see her again.
“Romeo, Romeo, wherefore art thou Romeo?” Most people, whether having read Romeo and Juliet or not, have heard this quote a number of times. What many people don’t know, is that when translated to modern english, the quote means, “Romeo, Romeo, why do you have to be Romeo?” The majority would assume that Juliet is asking where Romeo is at, but their inference is actually wrong. This incorrect speculation is likely caused by the ancient language used, one of many problems modern students face when analyzing Shakespeare. Although William Shakespeare is a historical playwright, his work should be modernized because the lexiles are too high for high school students, the language is outdated, and the settings are unrelatable, therefore too difficult

Act II iii Romeo and Friar Laurence It is early in the morning and Friar Laurence is picking flowers and herbs. Friar Laurence explains how the gray-eyes morning is smiling on the frowning night. Darkness, the night, is like drunk men getting out of the way of Titan's wheels of fire. (Titan Sun God) Friar Laurence says that he must fill up his osier basket (a basket made from willow or dogwood tree sticks) with weeds and flowers before the sun gets warm and burns off the morning dew (wetness).
Romeo as we all know was born into a Noble family, but a feuding family no less, who have endured a harsh and long conflict with their rivals the Capulets. Much unlike the rest of the family, he grew up a sensitive and caring boy with a unique love for reading, walking in the gardens, and of course his innate love for women. It was at this time of growth that I met him as a child and soon I would become his tutor. Quite more often than not, Romeo would visit me during the night or a summer afternoon in my cell to discuss and confide with me the problems and issues he faced. Through these dialogues we engaged in over the years I came to learn the kind of person Romeo was, and the
