Shakespeare uses humour, action and romance all in Act One and it is this variation that keeps the audience's attention. The play begins with a prologue that is written in the form of a sonnet.

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;
When Capulet a party,he soon finds out that one montagues are there due to Tybalt’s information. Tybalt quickly goes to capitulate and says “uncle, this is a montague,our foe;A villain that is hither come in spite(shakespeare IV.i. 63-65).

In Act 1:5 Romeo and Juliet finally meet after all this time and all the events that have been happening. The Capulet party was organized especially for Paris and Juliet, but it was 'invaded' by the Montagues. We get to see Capulet in a happy, spiritual and celeb-rational way and Tybalt being angry and furious with the fact that he saw and heard Romeo in the party. Romeo and Juliet look at each other and stare at each other, while Tybalt is trying to tell Capulet about the Montagues being at their party. Eventually Romeo and Juliet get to finally touch and feel each other, and their meeting was filled with love, excitement, no hesitation and passion.
When two people fall in love, it is natural for the besotted to express their infatuation for the other whether it be with artwork, physicality, writing, or other forms of expression. Throughout William Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet, two star crossed lovers by the names of Romeo Montague and Juliet Capulet fall in love only to end up committing suicide because of their families ongoing feud. Shakespeare uses allusion, personification, and soliloquy throughout the theatrical playwright in order to express Romeo and Juliet’s deep love for one another when still alive.
Romeo and Juliet is written by William Shakespeare and involves two “star-cross’d” lovers from feuding families, the Capulets and Montagues. Act 1 Scene 5 in Romeo and Juliet is of immense importance as it involves the meeting of Romeo and Juliet at the masquerade. This scene uses many language syntax to express Romeo’s feelings and woo Juliet which can be analysed like below.
Shakespeare creates effective drama by introducing the speech of Juliet’s cousin, Tybalt. Tybalts speech is strong and hateful towards Romeo, as he is now aware that there is one, if not more Montague’s present. By using dialogue such as ‘ what dare that slave come hither’ and ‘uncle, this is a Montague, our foe’ Shakespeare is able to translate the hate and rivalry, possessed between Romeo and Tybalt and generally the drama and conflict between Capulet and Montague. This is very dramatically effective. Capulet’s response to Tybalt, is to say that he has heard only good things about Romeo, therefore the party must go on. More time for more drama is allowed with no interruption of the party, therefore the passionate meeting of Romeo and Juliet is allowed to take place.
But farewell compliment!” (II.ii.88-89), shows that Juliet desired to keep her composure and speak to Romeo with good manners, but put those morals aside to express her love. “In truth, fair Montague, I am too fond, And therefore thou mayst think my 'havior light” (II.ii.98-99) demonstrates Juliet’s overflowing fondness over Romeo and how her behaviour might appear to Romeo as loose and not pulled together, and also shows how Juliet really cares about her mannerisms and portrayal to Romeo. All in all, Juliet in this monologue lets go of her composed facade and directly questions Romeo’s love for her by also revealing her will to be with
