- Light and dark imagery
- Romeo is often seen to idolise Juliet and to place her on a
pedastal. He is frequently quoting about how angelic she is.
As Catholicism and religion were a large and an important
part in their society, Romeo comparing Juliet to something
relgious implies to the audience about how important Juliet is
to him.
- “But, soft! what light through yonder window
breaks? / It is the east, and Juliet is the
sun!”(2.1.2)
- Romeo is represented as 'dark' when in comparison with Juliet as we see
that he is suicidal at the beginning of the play. Furthermore, suicide was a
very sinful act in Elizabethan England. However, nearing the end pf the play
where Juliet has thoughts about killing herself for the sake of Romeo
shows that their love is destructive and that Romeo's ways is influencing
Juliet. This suggests extreme or a very passionate love.

- Noble people often speak in blank verse which
contains iambic pentameter with no rhyme in it. They
usually speak prose to each other but blank verse to
other people, perhaphs to indicate their status and
authority.
- A CAESURAL PAUSE is used in this sentence and it
indicates that the character is hesitating or thinking
about something important. It also may happen during
an emotional moment on the stage.
- 'Good night, good night. Parting is such sweet sorrow.'

pentameter (from de dum to dum de... etc.)
and the change in rhythm suggests that the
character might have had a change in feelings
or it suggests an intimate moment in this
case.

Juliet is with metaphors and similies. He may have
done this as in Elizabethan England, all the actors

the audience to imagine what Juliet looks like.

prose and this connotes
informality.
