Benvolio – “My noble uncle do you know the cause?”
Montague – “I neither know it nor can learn of him”.
Romeo is being secretive and keeping himself to himself. Once Romeo enters, the speech sound quite sad “alas that love, whose view is muffled still.
He acts in this scene like a spoilt teenager, who has not got his own way. He does nothing but act miserable to draw attention to him. And make people ask the question, what’s wrong Romeo so people will be sorry for him. In this scene he acts a lot more immature and his words speak a lot louder than his actions.
ACT 3 SCENE 3
- “There is no world without Verona walls but purgatory, torture, hell itself”
This quote demonstrates how strongly Romeo feels about being banished! And how he has changed from act 1 scene one as he now expresses his feeling letting everyone know he hate it and is in love with Juliet.
Juliet is in Verona and so there will be nothing left but misery, but he loves her and is devoted to her so his life will be empty without her as he feels so strongly.
- “tis torture, and not mercy. Heaven is here where Juliet lives”.
This means if there is no Juliet there is no point to life and because he has changed from act 1 he will actually sacrifice himself to be with her.
This shows that his actions are now stronger than his words and also how he has changed from actions to words.
- “Banished, that world is hell”
This means just the thought of the word banishment is the thought of being away from Juliet which is hell to Romeo and then the words he uses are much more open and powerful than his moping around in act 1 scene 1.
Speaks in proes when he’s in love with Juliet shows a stork contrast
Of the mood happier and more relaxed
Imagery thou cunst my head off with a golden axe the language used is angry.
One type of love is a childish type there’s no comparison and in act 3 scene the love is much more mature and serious/serious this show the power and realism of play.
In act 3 scene 3 Romeo seems to have grown up and now knows true love instead of a childish crush. His emotions are much stronger as he is now willing to kill for his cause. He is convinced that there is no world without Juliet and chooses not to live without her.
Still thinking of himself but is willing to take action for the joining of his love.
