Middle
He uses light and dark metaphors saying she is light from everyone else around her, other people seem dark compared to her. Shows how beautiful she is and she stands out. The smile he uses "as a rich jewel in ethops ear". Showing she is unique and she stands out like a rich shiny jewel in a African's ear. He can't see anyone else but her, Romeo can't take his eyes off her. Romeo uses light and dark. Each simile and metaphor is effective because it shows he's fallen in love with her. Romeo's reaction towards Juliet is realistic from the point of view of a theatre audience because the audience know they will end up falling in love with each other and they end up getting married it uses dramatic irony's his reaction is realistic.

Conclusion
She can't live without him she's totally in love with him, she won't get married to anyone else but him. "My only love sprung from my only hate", this brings out the theme of love and hate. She loves him but he's from someone she hates. "Prodigious birth of love it is to me" saying he was born from someone evil but she loves him. It uses love and hate to show how she's feeling. "That I must love a loathed enemy" she says "why do I have to love a enemy" she loves him a lot and can't live without him, these lines what Juliet uses when she finds out about Romeo being a Montague they use dramatic irony. This was a very good play which had love, hate and fights. This was the story of two households, Capulet's and Montague's both alike in nobility. Who have a ancient grudge that turns into violence who live in fair Verona. They each have a child Romeo who's a Montague and Juliet who's a Capulet. They fall deeply in love with each other, but end up taking up their lives. They have unfortunate pity disasters and the continuance of their parent's rage which only the deaths of their children could remove. ...read more.
