In the soliloquy beginning “ Well Juliet, I will lie with thee to-night.” Romeo describes death. Romeo describes that he wants to join Juliet in death. The imagery created by Shakespeare is revolting during this soliloquy. There is a large contrast from the middle and near the end of the soliloquy.
Romeo goes and bys poison from the apothecary. An apothecary is like a morgue. This image of death describes and implicates the theme of death running through the play.
There is a large similarity between the soliloquy starting “Well Juliet, I will lie with thee to-night” and “Villain and he be miles asunder.” It is in “Villain and he be miles asunder” Juliet show to her family that she is upset over the death of her cousin Tybalt due to Romeo killing him, but infact she is more upset due to Romeo being banished from Verona. And in “Well Juliet, I will lie with thee to-night” Romeo is very upset due to him thinking Juliet is dead. This is dramatic irony because the audience know that she is not dead. This Make it standout how important love is in the play.
In the soliloquy “My only love, sprung from my only hate” is a common soliloquy for the rhyming couplet. A rhyming couplet is when the last two words in each line rhyme. This Happen in this soliloquy. In this soliloquy Juliet says, “My only love, sprung from my only hate” What she means is that Romeo is a Montague and she is a Capulet. There has been a grudge between the two families for years. Juliet means she loves a member of the Montague family, which is supposed to be her enemy.
In most of the soliloquies there is a lot of reparation. One example is Juliet says before she drinks the friar’s potion, “dash out my desperate brains” and then Romeo talks of “desperate men”. The reparation shows how desperate the situation is in their lives.
In the last scene in of the play there are 2 touching soliloquies. The main one is from Romeo. He starts “how oft when men are at the point of death” He is talking about the meaning of death parting lovers in this soliloquy. The other is from Juliet saying about Romeo being taken from her.so she takes his dagger so she can join he love in heaven.
