Romeo And Juliet's Soliloquy

Act 3 Scene 2 Leonardo DiCaprio once said, ‘To believe in love, to be ready to give up anything for it, to be willing to risk life for it, is the ultimate tragedy’. This quote is reflected upon many times in Shakespeare’s play, Romeo and Juliet, establishing the dramatic adversities. The events in Act 3 Scene 2 affirm the tragedy of the lovers in all of its painful and melancholy forms. This scene portrays misery at its greatest, where Juliet experiences the conflicting emotions for Tybalt and Romeo after hearing their reports of death and banishment. Her emotions set off a chain of event and lead the characters into the misfortune of unavoidable death.

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.

The parents sadly watch their children being carried into the family tomb. The play, by William Shakespeare, displays the relationships of Romeo and Juliet. This drama takes place in Verona, Italy, where the Capulets and Montagues are feuding. Poor relationships, deceit, and poor advice leads to tragedy. The teenagers relationships with their families are soon tested.

During some of part one, and two, we slowly learn about Romeo and his dilemma. He has fallen in love with beautiful Rosaline and all of his heart is crying out to her. He vows to never see a beauty as fair as her, and complains about the rudeness and pain of love. He allows himself to go to the party with Mercutio and his friends, but remarks he won't have a good time. "I'll go along, no such sight to be shown, But to rejoice in a splendor of mine own."  That is until he sees Juliet. Instantly he forgets all of his lamenting for Rosaline love, and proclaims Juliet is the most beautiful thing he has ever seen. "O! she doth teach the torches to burn bright. It seems she hangs on the cheek of night, like a rich jewel in an Ethiop's ear; Beauty too rich for use, for earth too dear! So shows a snowy dove trooping with crows, As yonder lady o'er her fellows shows. The measure done, I'll watch her place of stand, And, touching hers, make blessed my rude hand. Did my heart love till now? forswear it, sight! For I ne'er saw true beauty till this night."

“Oh, my love, my wife, death that hath sucked the honey of thy breath.” This quote really touches my heart. I understand the meaning of the quote Romeo is saying to Juliet. The meaning of this quote is that death has took the life or soul out of Juliet. That how Romeo feels In this quote.

Death Agents Shakespeare’s play, Romeo and Juliet affects audiences all over the world as they long for a true love to replace the sadness brought on by this classical tragedy. The calamity that arose from this play could have been prevented but sadly, it wasn't. Age, familial affiliation, and social class eventually lead to the characters death in William Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet. When speaking to the Friar Romeo claims “Her I love now Doth grace for grace and love for love allow.

As Juliet falls in love with Romeo, she changes from patient to impatient. In 1200’s Verona, Italy women are expected to get married at Juliet’s age. Therefore, Juliet is not surprised when her mother talks to her about marriage but she says, “It is an honor that I dream not of.” (1.3.67).

During Romeo and Juliet’s wedding night, Juliet expresses her want for Romeo to stay by describing “Yond light is not daylight; I know it, I./It is some meteor that the sun exhales/To be to thee this night a torchbearer/And light thee on thy way to Mantua./Therefore stay yet; thou needst not to be gone.” (III.v.12-16). Juliet pretends there’s presence of darkness so Romeo will remain with her, which shows her sadness and lack of light destined once Romeo departures. Juliet later describes herself as “having an ill-divining soul!/Methinks I see thee, now thou art below,/As one dead in the bottom of a tomb./Either my eyesight fails, or thou lookst pale.” (III.v.55-58). Juliet just previously spoke of her yearn for night to remain so Romeo would stay; however, she describes Romeo looking pale and ill-like, which foreshadows to their next engagement: death. The light and dark imagery develops the idea of Romeo and Juliet’s love and their long to be with each other forever. Additionally, their longing for each other hints at their death in the near future because of Shakespeare’s word choice. Ultimately, the light and dark imagery used throughout the play foreshadows to the impending events, especially Romeo and Juliet’s

Romeo lays eyes upon Juliet and instantly falls in love with her. His lovesick attitude toward Rosaline is forgotten. After a few days seeing Juliet, he “exchange of thy love’s faithful vow for mine.” (2.2.134) rushing for the craving of love to form into one flesh. After secretly get married, Friar Laurence warns Juliet and Romeo, “love moderately; long love doth so; Too swift arrives as tardy as too slow.”

Baz Luhrmann (1996) and Franco Zeffirelli (1968), both directors of Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet, both successful, both totally different interpretations of the play. Though the two appropriations are only 28 years apart, they both are two completely different views of the play. The two movies show different aspects of conflict from the Montague’s and Capulet’s. Romeo and Juliet displays both internal and external conflict during the play. Shakespeare’s play shows the theme of conflict because Romeo and Juliet is as much about conflict as it is about love.

A secret vowed to be locked away Why entrusted to me I can not say, My lips threaten to let it loose When I find out the awful news, I overheard several months after the battle The event which leaves me more than a little rattled, The tales that have reached my ear Have awoken my greatest fear, Oh if only I had not given my word!

In Shakespeare’s play, Romeo and Juliet, outside forces cause the death of the two lovers. Romeo and Juliet may not have suffered a tragic death if their actions weren’t influenced by other characters because the adults in the play misguided Romeo and Juliet, which caused the two lovers to make poor and rash decisions. For example, Friar Lawrence's improper judgment led the death of Romeo, The Nurses insensibility towards Juliet contributed to her demise, and Capulets controlling tendencies inevitably contributed to the death of Juliet.

In act 2 scene 2, Romeo is speaking to Juliet in the form of a soliloquy. A soliloquy is a speech made by one person alone as they speak their thoughts. This provides the audience with a clear understanding to what the character is trying to express. “It is the east, and Juliet is the sun.” Romeo is using
