‘cast it off ’ meaning that Juliet shouldn’t worry anymore because Romeo is there to save her and protect her.
Romeo can also be impracticable in the way he acts and the way he expresses his love to Juliet, for example:
‘I’ll be new baptized’; meaning that Romeo will change his surname and not communicate with his family so that he can be with Juliet. At this point in the play, I don’t think that he has really thought about all of this and that he has to completely stop communicating with all of his family. This is the part where I thing he is being impractical and unrealistic, he really should think about the whole thing before he starts the process of changing his name indefinitely. Because Romeo and Juliet is a romantic play there has to be some parts in the scean where the characters express there love to each other and even fall in love, Romeo is also at the middle point of this scean being ver romantic and saying things like:
‘Juliet is the sun,’ meaning that in the whole of the sky she is there and she is the one who is shining on him, and helps him to get through the day, and,
‘I were a glove upon that hand,’ also meaning that he wants to be a glove upon her hand because that way he would bee with her all the time and then they could be married.
Also when Juliet asks how Romeo got over the wall into her garden and under the balcony, all he could answer with was that:
‘With love’s light wings did o’er perch these walls’ meaning that the love that he had for Juliet and the love Juliet had for Romeo, this was how he got over the walls. This to Juliet doesn’t make any sense, he is speaking out unrealistically.
At the start of Act 2 Scean 2 Juliet is saying a few things that make her seam very practical compared to what Romeo is saying.
She starts with a question,
‘How cam’st thou hither, tell me, and wherefore? Meaning how did you get here and why did you come? She is saying this because she is in love with Romeo and she doesn’t want him to get court and maybe even to be put into jail. Juliet is also committed to her boyfriend, Romeo, in this scean Act 2 Scean 2 she seems to be taking charge while Romeo isn’t really that bothered and seems to be concentrated more than Romeo. She is also embarrassed when she says, ‘and for that name which is no part of thee, take all myself.’ Romeo seams to be overheard by himself, this makes Juliet cringe and very embarrassed.
Juliet is also very brave, in that she takes, the poison, given to her by Friar Lawrence as a means of excepting from marrying Paris. Juliet thought the play is forthright. She states her points clearly and also makes her wishes known before the audience, for example, she says, ‘tongue’s uttering, yet I know the sound.’ Here she’s saying that she knows the sound of Romeo’s voice and Romeo is talking at the moment to her. Compared to Romeo, Juliet is mature for her age, she can see the dangers in their relationship and then explain them to Romeo. She is prepared to go against her parent’s wishes to marry Paris, that Instead she wants to marry the man she loves Romeo. She has not intended to promise marriage that night, ‘It is too rash, to unadvised, to sudden.’
