Romeo & juliet, how does the imagery make the scene more dramatic?

The soliloquy shows Juliets naivety at this point of the play because she is so desperately in love with Romeo. It is at this moment when the audience become aware of the dramatic irony of the lovers because of Tybalts murder even if they are unaware of this at that time.

The implication of the use of the Phoebus and Phaeton imagery in the first part of the speech suggests romantic passion but they are unaware that it is actually danger. Juliets  alliterate pleas for Romeos quick arrival, she states “ Gallop apace you fiery-footed steeds Towards Phoebus.” This is dramatically ironic, however it hides a contradiction between “Cloudy nights and Close curtain” which brings her closer to Romeo. This makes the audience think because they no the proceeding of the scene may contain horror. Earlier in the play Romeo avenges Mercuitio’s death by the killing of Tybalt, the fact of cloudy nights and close curtains which is ironic because they are trying to hide the death of Tybalt which could be hiden in a cloud or behind a curtain. Despite Julies want for the night it never seems to come , furthermore the imagery of Phoebus and Phaeton which informs the audience that bad things are happening or happened. People in the medieval times were very suspicious amd were with such legends like the Phoebus and Phaeton. Therefore they would believe in terrible things more likely to happen than they would in this time and era.

When Juliet says, “Give me my Romeo … will be in love with night.” That shows that Romeo and Juliet will have a future together. The words show that Romeo and Juliets love is unique and is still got many different journeys that the audience are still yet to discover what is going to happen. The word “stars” represent a bright light, which eventually fades, so this emphasises that something bad will happen in the future. In the prologue it says “ Two star lovers take their life” which links back to the stars been bright because the lights fade meaning bad and that is also linked to death. Also the balcony scene is linked at night, Juliet says “ To twinkle in their spheres until they return … into heaven.” The word twinkle links towards the stars as in they twinkle and so does heaven because it is in the sky and so are the stars. That shows that their love is out of this world, heavenly, it soars above any other relationship like Romeos for Rosalind. Romeo and Juliets love is very extraordinary that they do not pursue courtly love.
