Romeo is saying Juliet is beautiful like the sun.
As well as imagery the play uses dramatic irony this means that the audience know something that the characters don’t and are ‘on the edge of their seats’ as they wait for the secret to be revealed.
An example is when Romeo and Juliet have a secreat marriage and don’t tell now one exept for the nurse and Friar Lowrence how does the marriage.
Another example is when Friar Lawrence sends one of his friars to give a letter to Romeo to tell him that Juliet is not really dead. But Romeo dosen’t get the letter and hears that Juliet is dead and goes.
Audiences in Shakespeare’s time would like Romeo and Juliet because they would love to see the blood and cries and romance.
Another play by Shakespeare with a traic ending is “Macbeth” also violence and bloody murder.
The play stills appeals to a modearn audience because it is the number one love story and because there is a bit of hate in the play and love.
There are many examples of love and hate in the play.
The first time we see hatred is when the Capulet and Montague servants are fighting in the market. Benvolio tries to stop them, but tybalt joins in.
Prince escalus comes and warns the Capulet and Montague that anyone fighting will be punished with death.
An example of love, however, is the relationship between Juliet and her nurse. The nurse and Juliet have a loving relationship. The nurse is like a mother and a best friend to Juliet. The nurse has always looked after Juliet. She knows all her secrets but doesn’t tell Juliet’s parents. The nurse say’s about Juliet “faith, I can tell her age unto an hour. Which means that she knows Juliet very well than her mother.
When Romeo sees Juliet for the first time in the Capulet feast, we know it is love because Romeo say’s “o, she doth teach the torches to burn bright” which means she stands out more than the fire. He also says, “so shows a snowy dove, trooping with crows”. It means she stands out of the entire crowd.
Juliet feels the same, as she says, “my only love sprung from my only hate” which means my only love has come from my enemy. Even though Juliet knows that Romeo is a montage, she still gets married to him.
Friar Lawrence who does the secrete marriage.
On the other hand, Tybalt hates the Montague family but he hates Romeo the most. He says about him. A villain that is hither comes in spite to scorn at our solemnity this night, which means,“ that he hates Romeo and the Montague’s. Tybalt writes a letter to Romeo that he wants to fight him. But Rome refuses to fight because tybalt was now his cousin because he was married to Juliet. But mercusio fights tybalt and gets stabbed. Then Romeo goes and kills tybalt, tybalt dies.
Lady Capulet shows her love for Tybalt when she says “ Tybalt, my cousin! O’ my brothers child! O’prince! O, the blood is spilled of my dear kinsmen! Prince, as thou art true, for blood of Montague. O cousin!” that means my cousin brothers boy who died by Romeo.
Juliet hates Paris, due to the fact that her parents have arranged her to get married to him. But Juliet does not agree. She is already married to Romeo.
When Juliet refuses to marry Paris her parents act cruelly towards her.
Lady Capulet says Ay sir but she will none, she gives you thanks. I would the fool were married to the grave “which means that they wish there daughter was dead.
Lord Capulet says, “Hang thee, young baggage! Disobedient wretch! “Which shows that he feels very angry and that he can hit Juliet because when he says his fingers itch.
Unlike the capulets, Friar Lawrence is a loving character because when he says “that my good son! But where hast thou been” it means that friar Lawrence treats Romeo as his own son. When Juliet goes to see friar Lawrence he gives her poison so she would look like she is dead. So she doesn’t get married to Paris.
The very last example of love that we see in the play is when Romeo and Juliet die, because Romeo loved Juliet and he died for her and when Juliet woke up from the sleep she saw Romeo dead and killed her self with Romeos dagger. She loved Romeo very much and wanted to die with him.
Over all, I would say that this play is more about love because it shows how much the nurse loves Juliet; Friar Lawrence loves Romeo and how much Romeo and Juliet love each other.
