Romeo and Juliet, by William Shakespeare, was a tragic but well written play. Because of the numerous monologues, metaphors, and similes the play was effective, even though the diction was hard to understand. Romeo and Juliet is a famous play that is known throughout America. Written by famous author William Shakespeare, the play tells the story of undying love that cost two young lovers their lives. Numerous Monologues attributed to the play. The monologues let me know how thecharacters really felt about their experiences. An example would be when Romeo says, “ Butsoft! What light through yonder window breaks? It is the East, and Juliet is the sun! Arise, fair sun, and kill the envious moon. Who is already sick and pale with grief that thou her maid art far more fair than she, Be not her maid, since she is envious. Her vestal livery is but sick and green, and none but fools do wear it. Cast it off. It is my lady! O, it is my love! O, that she knew she were! She speaks, yet she says nothing. What of that? Her eye discoursed; I will answer it.I am too bold; ‘tis not to me she speaks. Two of the fairest stars in all the heaven, Having some business, do entreat her eyes...( Act II, scene II, lines 2-16). ” Romeo was talking about seeing Juliet and how he really fell in love with he, although he didn’t know her. The monologues also added detail to the story. An example would be when Juliet says, “ ‘is but thy name that is my enemy. Thou art thyself, though not a Montague. What’s Montague? Is nor hand, nor foot, nor arm, nor face, nor any other part belonging to a man. O, be some other name! What’s in a name? |
