  • Similarities Between Romeo And Juliet And A Raisin In The Sun

    803 Words  | 2 Pages

    Is life worth living or is it better to give up and leave life all behind. This was the theme of Romeo and Juliet and A Raisin in the Sun. Both plays were set in a different setting, time periods, and have a different style of presenting, but they both give information on how housing was different in those time periods. Lorraine Hansberry wrote her play to give the audience an insight of how segregated housing as in the U.S. and Shakespeare's ideas of his play still remain relevant today. Lorraine Hansberry’s drama A Raisin in the Sun demonstrates the hardships and disagreements of a family more effectively than William Shakespeare's, The Tragedy of Romeo and Juliet because of Hansberry’s use of tone, dialogue, and character interaction.

  • How Does Shakespeare Use Extended Metaphors In Romeo And Juliet

    1202 Words  | 3 Pages

    William Shakespeare is amazing at using extended metaphor in Romeo and Juliet to show love between the characters, the word choice that Shakespeare uses to write extended metaphor is very detailed. During the balcony scene, Romeo says something towards Juliet which is an extended metaphor which shows love Romeo said, “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” (Shakespeare 2.2.3-5). What this means is that Juliet is being compared to the sun and Romeo is telling Juliet to arise beautiful woman and kill the envious moon so Juliet is a fair sun which has to destroy the darkness which is the moon. Romeo is saying that Juliet is as beautiful as the sun which shines over the world they live in. A little later during the balcony scene, Romeo uses extended metaphor again to compare Juliet to something good. Romeo is in love with Juliet and her beauty because Romeo always complements Juliet with something lovely and he speaks of Juliet in a nice way. For example, Romeo says “O, speak again, bright angel, for thou art as glorious to this night, being o’er my head as is a winged messenger of heaven unto the white-upturned wondering eyes” (Shakespeare 2.2.29-32). This really shows the love that Romeo has for Juliet because he compares her to a bright angel and being compared to an angel shows that she’s very glorious and mighty with beautiful features. Also, Romeo complements Juliet’s eyes again saying that her eyes are awestruck and so pretty that all mortals fall back to gaze this shows that Romeo is in love with all of her beauties and all the other people are too. Romeo says a lot of extended metaphor during the play to compare Juliet to things that are of beauty and not something that is horrible thus extended metaphor is used to show the love between

  • Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet and Browning's Sonnet 43

    On first seeing Juliet, Shakespeare uses light and dark imagery to emphasise Juliet’s beauty. Romeo exclaims ‘O, she [Juliet] doth teach the torches to burn bright!’ he describes Juliet’s beauty as being brighter than the light of a torch. Light and dark imagery is used to create mood and show contrast as the light of a torch is used to show the way in darkness and is also suggested to be a beacon of hope, this proposes Romeo was in the dark and Juliet is his light to guide the way. Romeo also compares Juliet to ‘a rich jewel in an Ethiop’s ear’ the bright glare of Juliet’s looks are made even brighter as a ‘bright jewel’ contrasts against the darkness of an ‘Ethiop’s ear’, this simile is used to highlight Juliet as a rare, unique...

  • Opposing Forces In Shakespeare's Romeo And Juliet

    On first seeing Juliet, Romeo exclaims, "O, she doth teach the torches to burn bright! / It seems she hangs upon the cheek of night / Like a rich jewel in an Ethiope's ear; … So shows a snowy dove trooping with crows"  (Act 1 Scene 5 Lines 44-48) Romeo describes Juliet's beauty in terms of light and dark. "She doth teach the torches to burn bright" means both that her beauty is brighter than the light of any torch and that she makes the whole room light up. The brightness of Juliet's beauty is made even brighter by the contrasts with the blackness of the "Ethiope" and the blackness of crows. The use of antithesis with the "snowy doves" and the "crows" creates a powerful opposing force showing how she stands out from the others. Another interpretation of the dove is that it is a symbol of peace and sets in place an image of Romeo and Juliet's love creating peace between the two rival families. Another moment is when Juliet is waiting for Romeo to come to her bed. In her imagination, the night will bring her love. She goes on to say, "Spread thy close curtain, love-performing night, / That runaways' eyes may wink and Romeo" (Act 3 Scene 2 Lines 5-6). Juliet is seeing things as though she is in bed, the curtains are closed, creating a dark atmosphere where they act their love. In the dark, the pair will create their own light, because "Lovers can see to do their amorous rites / By their own beauties" The use of courtly love is very common in theatres at the time of Romeo and Juliet because in those days people would dream and fantasize about courtly love and was an entertaining

  • The Use of Language to Convey Strong Emotion in Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet

    However, in act two, scene two, the mood is altogether more optimistic and Shakespeare uses a lot of light imagery particularly when Romeo is describing Juliet. When he first sees her on the balcony, he compares her to the sun. This clearly conveys Romeo's passion for Juliet as the sun is a giver of life, a brilliant source of light and has connotations of happiness and cheer, which contrasts greatly with Romeo's previous melancholy. Furthermore, Romeo exclaims that Juliet's eyes and cheeks are 'bright and later call her a 'bright angel' which suggests the strength of his admiration for her - to him, she is more of a divine, or spiritual light; a beacon of hope.

    For this project, I chose to represent Juliet. I used a variety of components to express what I think Juliet’s mask would have looked like at her father’s party. My overall perspective of Juliet is a beautiful young girl who has an awful attitude and was raised with getting whatever she wants. On my mask, I incorporated three different colours to represent crucial details about Juliet. The white background on the mask serves as Juliet being a bride in a white dress. In Act 2 Scene 5 the narrator tells us that “Romeo and Juliet are secretly married in Friar Lawrence’s chapel.” The only person who knows about Romeo and Juliet’s wedding is the Nurse. The blue feathers at the top of the mask represent Juliet being the boss of the Nurse, but still having manners.

    It seems she hangs upon the cheek of night/ As a rich jewel in an Ethiop’s ear” (Shakespeare 1.5.43-45). When Romeo compares Juliet to a torch, he makes a metaphor, suggesting that her beauty and radiance resemble the light of a torch. He continues to refer to Juliet’s beauty when he compares her to a sparkling jewel that catches the eye of the night sky (the “Ethiop” being a person with dark skin). Romeo correlates Juliet to a torch and a jewel, but never once mentions anything about her personality, even when he has his first interaction with her at the feast. Romeo simply feels a desire towards Juliet and seems to over exaggerate his feelings for her.

  • Essay On Celestial Objects In Romeo And Juliet

    586 Words  | 2 Pages

    In the Tragedy of Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare, there are numerous objects mentioned and or used throughout the play. Encrypted in the following dialogue are two celestial objects, the sun and the moon. Romeo, being the descriptive and intelligent individual he is, used these objects to compare to Juliet. Of whom he thought was the brightest out of all and captivated the most beauty. Even though in reality, it is evident that the sun is far brighter than any human being on Earth. However, credit can still be given to Shakespeare since during those ages, people had not the slightest idea how the universe operated. Moreover, I choose these celestial objects because I felt that they are such an importance to Romeo, humans and the universe. As we all should know, the Earth is well “rotting”, and if we don’t do anything
