The Language in William Shakespeare's Act Three Scene 5 of Romeo and Juliet

The figurative language that the friar uses reminds and describes to the consequences of desperation to Romeo. For example, he starts by comparing Romeo to things that are soft-hearted by stating, “Thy tears

Analysis of Act Three Scene 1 of William Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet Romeo and Juliet is a play filled with love, fate, rivalry and tragedy. I am going to be analysing act 3, scene 1, concentrating on how Shakespeare makes this scene dramatic and how it is pivotal in terms of the plays key themes and events. Prior to this scene we have witnessed the rivalry between the two leading families, Capulet and Montague and the hostility they hold towards one another. Romeo, the son of a Montague, turns up uninvited to a ball at the Capulet mansion where he proceeds to fall in love with Juliet the only daughter of sir Capulet. Juliet returns Romeos affections and hoping they might at last unite

In the play Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare the theme is justifiably recognisable depending on the reader. From one dilemma to the next the readers can infer how pithy their time was together. The time they spent seemed like less than a sixteenth of a second to the two characters that were infatuated with each other. The readers can almost feel plight for Romeo and Juliet, because the time they spent together was so short, yet they were still so willing to give everything they had for the other. The time of this play is a very important element, that without it the story wouldn't be the same. The main focus of the play is the realization of the time Romeo and Juliet spent together, this reveals a very important theme of the story.

Throughout the play ‘Romeo and Juliet’ the Nurse is presented as a requirement. Shakespeare incorporates the Nurse into almost every scene to ensure she is portrayed as so. Her role ultimately results in the tragedy and death of Romeo and Juliet. I will be discussing the different ways in which she is portrayed in the play and both film adaptions.

“Just to cure it cause I can't ignore it if it's love” because Romeo is unable to stop loving Juliet whom is his whole families enemy. He loves Juliet and he can not ignore the love he feels for her. Also, the first lyric I mentioned is in a way answered by the ending of Romeo and Juliet because his cure is suicide of him and Juliet both.

This play consists primary of hyperboles, exaggeration is a hallmark of comedy. An example is when Benvolio asked Romeo not to leave him, Romeo replied by saying that “[he’s] not here.” He is saying that he was so in love that he out of this world. Another example of the play being over exaggerated is Juliet told her nurse to asked Romeo if “he be married.” She barely knows the guy and already wants to know if he was wed. That evening, Romeo went to Juliet’s balcony and said, “My life [is] better ended,” meaning he rather die than “wanting of thy love.” They only known each other for only a couple of hours at the most and they are vowing their life. Not long after Romeo had to run away, Juliet’s father, Lord Capulet, told Lady Capulet to tell

“The Tragedy of Romeo and Juliet” by William Shakespeare is a romantic tragic play about the tragic deaths of the two star crossed lovers. Romeo a Montague and Juliet a Capulet come from feuding families. Even though they are enemies of each other’s families, they still pursue the love they have for each other. “Love’s Vocabulary” by Diane Ackerman is an essay that explains the concept of love and the mystery and complexity of love. In the essay she explains that love is shown in many different ways and the vocabulary of love has not changed for thousands of years. In the texts “The Tragedy of Romeo and Juliet” by William Shakespeare and “Love’s Vocabulary” by Diane Ackerman develops the central idea that families can interfere with love through their use of dramatic irony, cause and effect, character motivation, and a metaphor.

The servant, lacking the knowledge to read, repays Romeo’s help by inviting Romeo and his cousin to the party, without knowing the men were Montagues. At the party, Romeo insists not to dance with anyone,”A torch for me. Let wantons light to heart/[...] I’ll be a candle holder and look on;/ The game was ne’er so fair, and I am done” (1.4.35-39). Despite of his insistence, he meets Juliet and is awed by her beauty, forgetting his desire for Rosaline. He praises her with such words, “O, she doth teach the torches to burn bright!/ It seems she hangs upon the cheek of night/ As a rich jewel in an Ethiop’s ear-/[...] Did my heart love till now? Forswear it, sight,/ For I ne’er saw true beauty till this night” (1.5.51-60). Because he was amazed by her beauty, later on he becomes rather attached to her, especially when they both find out that they are enemies of different houses. In spite of this, they meet each other in the middle of the night near Juliet’s balcony. Here, Romeo’s praising becomes even more passionate as they both exchange words of love. “But soft, what light through yonder window breaks?/ It is the East, and Juliet is the sun” (2.2.2-3). From the scene where Romeo sees Juliet for the first time to where they meet by the balcony, his sorrow is forgotten and filled up with

In Act II Scene II, Juliet uses figurative language to describe her love for Romeo. In the simile “too like the lightning, which doth cease to be” (126), Juliet expresses her concerns about how her and Romeo fell in love so quickly. She uses this image because lightning appears just as fast as it vanishes because it strikes within seconds. She explains how she fears that their love will disappear as fast and it came about, just like lightning. Later in the scene, Juliet uses the simile “my bounty is as boundless as the sea, my love as deep […] for both are infinite” (140-142) to express, despite her earlier concerns, how in love she is. Juliet uses the endless concept of the sea to express how her love for Romeo has no constraints and can barely

He is saying that Romeo should go to Juliet and be with her tonight but then leave for Mantua and wait and the Friar will give him more instructions later and that he should

Overall, this shows the immaturity in Juliet and how her being immature with Romeo and not having a full understanding of what's going around

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

This quote shows that Romeo is so committed to Juliet that he would risk his life for her. Next, the text also states,

Well I obviously learned that the two main characters, Romeus and Juliet, were madly in love with each other from what the speaker directly states and from what they say to each other. Romeus seems to be a man of his word. When it says "thereupon he sware an oath," it is showing that he is doing this because he knows that he would never break the promise to Juliet that he will always love her. He seems determined. Romeus also seems to be brave because he is also risking his life from being caught talking to Juliet. This can be proven when Juliet says, "What if your deadly foes, my kinsmen, saw you here? Like lions wild, your tender parts asunder would they tear." Romeus's desire is to get married with Juliet because he loves her and
