| Romeo and Juliet | Act 1 Scene 1, lines 165 to 220 |
| At the start of the play there is a street fight between the two families. At the end of the fight, the prince has agreed that anyone found fighting in public again will be executed. | Lord M and Lady M discuss the morning events with Benvolio. They are glad that Romeo did not witness the fight. however all 3 are worried about his state of mind. He shuts himself in a room alone and will not talk to anyone. He also seems depressed. Benvolio makes a promise to find out what is troubling Romeo. |
| starts with rhyming couplet to grab audiences attention. | The first word Alas means to sigh as romeo does because he dosrent feel loved back. |
| the word "love" has a capital letter. It has been made into a person- personification- importance- different aspects of love. | Muffled means cant see clearly and refers to cupid. his emotions are in control. "should without eyes see pathways to his will!" this means not only is Cupid blind but lovers are blind. Love is blind because you would do anything for them and don't see faults. |
| there are 11 oxymoron's. some are: "O heavy lightness" heavy hearted- depressed and light hearted-positive. "serious vanity" serious means genuinely important and vanity means trivid or vain. oxymoron's don't make sense- shows how he feels and that love is senseless. He doesn't understand why the family feud continues and why she doesn't love him back. | "still waking sleep" Romeo isn't sleeping properly as he wakes early and locks himself in his rooms during the day. "this love feel I, that feel no love in this" that is his view of love. he concludes his speech by saying that he 'not in love with being in love. |
| "Does thou not laugh?" He suspects that he is being foolish for reacting in the way that he is. This is because it is a rhetorical question. | "No coz I rather weep" means benvolio won't laugh because they are close and when Romeo is sad benvolio is also. It is excessive sadness and dramatic from Romeo. |
| You get to meet Romeo for the first time and you start to understand his thoughts and emotions. Romeo has heartfelt sadness. He's depressed | "Love is a smoke made with the fume of sighs" exaggerated metaphors that lovers go around sighing. |
| "A sea nourished with loving tears"'they cry to excess. Metaphors and elaborate emotions beacause the tears will turn into the see. | "A madness most discrete" sometimes he feels insane with love. This is also another oxymoron. "Which thou wilt propagate to have it pressed" you want to add your sadness onto mine. |
| In the next part, Romeo feels offended because benvolio says "soft I will go along. Romeo then makes an apology for snapping and says "tut". " soft I will go along" means we won't talk I'll come along with you. Benvolio is adding to Romeos grief. "What shall I groan and tell thee?" Romeo is accusing benvolio of trying to make him sad. Benvolio says tell me who your lover is, seriously or truthfully. | Benvolio feels sad because Romeo is sad. Romeo tells benvolio not to be sad because it's making Romeo worse. |
| In this previous scene, Romeo has felt sad and depressed of his lover rosaline. He explains this to benvolio and gives his definition of love. | Romeo is in turmoil. In those days, they believed women who are beautiful are easier to fall in love with. In this part of the scene there is a pun which is about cuspids arrow. |
| the pun is about archery and cupids arrow. "aimed", "a right good mark man" ,"a right fair mark". reffereing to an arrow of love and that you've hit the bulls eye. a bow or an arrow is a weapon for shooting. cupid all relates to classical mythology. | the words "sick" and "will" relates to death which means that Romeo is dying I his thoughts and feelings for love. "chastity" means that she is refraining from sexual intercourse. she has initially sworn that she wont give chase. |
| "siege" means to persuade or to engage in sexual intercourse. its also a military metaphor. in this speech there is also a dramatic pause to attract the audiences attention. | "rich......poor" these are opposites and antithesis but not oxymoron's because the words are to far apart from one another.it also means that she is priceless and means everything to him. |
| Benvolio speaks one line after Romeos long speech and is not engaging with romeo. this highlights to the audience how romantic/selfish hes about himself. it is all about how Rosaline wont sleep with him. this a contrast between romeo and Benvolio in this speech. | "sparing makes huge waste" shes going to waste (which links to earlier about sick and will) because if she is a virgin her beauty wont pass down, because she wont have kids. |
| "too fair, too wise, wisely to fair" this uses repetition and he is exasperated and insulted that she wont love him back. this also uses alliteration. | Benvolio then starts to help and give advice to romeo by saying "forget to think of her." this means forget about her and listen to me, my advice. |
| this speech is not a soliloquy because Romeo is talking to Benvolio n conversation and not on the stage on his own. he has adored Rosaline from afar and is an object of adoration not real love. | because Romeo is a nobleman, he speaks in verse. this poem is set out like a poem with lots of rhyming couplets. there is also dramatic irony because he does dieat the end of the play because of Juliet. "do I live dead." |
| he is also not spoken about her as a real person, just a matter of imagination. this is because he is love sick, and is fed up of the ancient feud so he needs a lover to help control his emotional condition. | the links and contrasts between the two scenes: romeo has attended the cpulet feast and fallen in love instantly with Juliet and goes into the orchid garden and perhaps to catch a glance or to see Juliet again. also before the next scene, the love was fickle however In the second act, it is genuine love for Juliet. |
| Act 2 scene 2, lines 2 to 69 | in this extract, Romeo over hears Juliet's love for him, and then declares his love for her. |
| Romeo starts by saying "be soft" this means be quiet else the guards or Juliet might hear as he isn't meant to be there. | "light" "sun" "fair sun". this is how romeo describes how beautiful Juliet is using elaborate imagery. he refers to her as light radiant and beautiful.the imagery is to do with astronomy, (the sun rising). he descriebes Juliet as the sun and dianna as the moon. |
| " linking with act 1, scene 1,refferring to dianna the goddess of the moon. "sick and pale with grief." Diana is sick because she is jealous that Juliet is more beautiful than her. "envious moon" Juliet is more beautiful than the moon. she is a virgin and therefore Juliet is a maid of Diana because she is a goddess of virginity and Juliet is a virgin. "it is the east" this is an extended metaphore he sees Juliet coming onto the balcony as though the sun is rising in the east. | romeo says "be not her maid" this is emphatic/declairs that he dosent want her to be the moons maid so he can have sex with her. he asks why wont you have sex with me? the reference to the sun previously is that it is rising, for a new day, for a new love and a fresh start. "livery" this means in this context, dont wear the same livery/uniform as the moon. this is all genuine love and personal love. |
| parenthesis after "she speaks" this is a drammatic pause as romeo is thinking and admiring in adoration. | "her eye discourses, i will answer it" this means he can now see her eyes, and that he is about to talk to her but then he dosent. "two of the fairest stars in all the heavens" this links to astronomy, he says "having some bussiness, do entreat her eyes to twinkle in their spheres till they return." this means they have to go away on bussiness to ask juliets eyes to twinkle in the stars place because her eyes are so bright and beautiful. |
| "what if her eyes were there, they in her head?" this means what if her eyes were in the sky and the stars were in her head. "the brightness of her cheek would shame those stars" this means her cheeks are so radiant and beautiful that they but shame to her starry eyes. in this part there is a rhyming cuplet which is "bright......night" there is a similie "as daylight doth a lamp" her cheeks are brighter than her eyes as though a lamp on during the day. | romeo sees juliet as devine or as heavenly.he uses ecstatic expression of juliets shining beauty and rome longs to touch her. "that birds would sing and think it were not night." this is because her eyes are in the sky and they are so bright in heaven, birds will think its daytime. these are very ellaborate, romantic metaphors. |
| in the next part juliet starts to talk and she is more practical than romeo because she is thinking about the family feud and the families feud but romeo is careless about that. | "o speak again" romeo is in shock that she speaks because he sees her as an angel. he also wants to hear her voice again. he reffers to her as a "bright angel" this links with divine from earlier. |
| "as glorious to this night, being o'er my head" he is seeing her as heavenly floating, higher above than everybody else. also because she is on the balcony higher up than him. she is bright and beautiful even in the night. | "As (this means angel) is a winged messenger of heaven" this means she seems immortal and like a angel. she is also like aetherical/spiritual creature. "lazy pacing clouds, and sails upon the bossom of the air" means if ordinary people were to look up at her, the angel, you would have to look up really high and you would see the white of your eyes. all of this is an elaborate similie. |
| starts with an explination mark. Wherefore art though romeo? means why are you called romeo. "deny thou father and refuse thy name" she is asking him to change his name and loyalty (Cap and Mon) "or thou wilt not, be but sworn my love" she then says it you wont deny your family and your name then i will. however even tough juliet is speaking about romeo she does not know romeo is there listening. | Romeo mutters quietly to himself "i hear more, or shall i speak at this? means shall i listen or speak. juliet says "tis but thy name that is my enemy" means a name is not essential, it is just a label. she uses a rehitorical question "whats a Montague?" then she goes onto answer her own question by saying "nor hand, nor foot, nor arm, nor face, nor any other part belonging to a man." she is describing him as a genuine real person, geniuine love. |
| "doff thy name" means get rid of your name. "and for that name, which is no part of thee, take all myself" this also means get rid of your name and you can have me. " dear perfection" this is how quickly and procisely she sums up what she feels for him (perfection). | "that which we call a rose by any other word would smell as sweet." this means if you called a rose something else, it would still smell as sweet. she is using this as a description towards there names and the ancient feud between the two families. |
| Romeo then jumps out of the tree and speaks. however it startles juliet. "i take thee at thy word" means that romeo accepts juliets love. "what man art thou, that thus bescreened in night. so stumblist on my counsel?" means shes been talking about a montague so shes worried because anyone could have heard. |
