Spontaneous
Shakespeare makes teenagers in his play look very spontaneous and naïve, by doing this he encourages audience to automatically fall in love with the main characters, because they’ve been portrayed so childlike and pure.
He has perfectly showed this in Juliet’s quote in Act 2, scene 2: “Parting is such sweet sorrow, That I shall say good night till it be morrow…”
Author of this play has used oxymoron, in phrase “ Parting is such sweet sorrow”, this language devise, including words of opposite meaning one after another, makes very big influence on the audience because it basically describes, plot of the play ‘Love to Death’. Those two words ‘Sweet’ and ‘Sorrow’, represent two lovers as very naïve children, as well as, it makes me as part of the audience feel, that characters themselves never experienced true sorrow. This quote have a huge influence on the readers because it really seem to be spontaneous true love, when both Romeo and Juliet pronounce such a plain, but powerful vows, which are hidden under a lot of lyrics. In this quote Audience would really love to digest this ‘sweet and sour’ mix, and make themself decide Shakespeare uses Iambic Pentameter to show Juliet’s feeling towards Romeo, so that we almost can hear her hear beats while she pronounces her phrase It adds a rhythmical, steady, unfluctuating quality to the poem, as well author has used rhyming couplet to make it sound even more dramatic and to make it seems like she said it with love from whole her heart. their side.
Loyal
Shakespeare presents teenagers as very loyal and devoted, by doing this he shows them being very dedicated to each other, which encourages audience to be proud of different character choices, which means that audience feel at least some emotions towards the play and the plot.
Shakespeare has perfectly displayed this in Romeo’s Act 1, Scene 1 quote: “Tybalt, the reason that I have to love thee…Villain am I none…”
Writer have used some dramatic irony in phrase ‘I have to love thee’, because this is really ironically that Romeo and Tybalt, two heirs to warring families, both related to each other through Juliet, and Tybalt don’t know that Romeo and Juliet are already married. Words ‘love’ and ‘villain’ two words with reverse meaning in one sentence represent contrast between Romeo and Tybalt. These phrases have a very big influence on the audience because it shows loyalty of Romeo towards Juliet, and loyalty of Tybalt towards his family. This makes audience split into half, (which show their interest) those who respect Romeo’s feeling to Juliet, and those who respect Tybalt’s original code of honor.
