Juliet Flashcards
3.2: Juliet’s love for Romeo is lustful
“To an impatient child that hath new robes and may not wear them”
3.2: Raven symbolism
“[Romeo] wilt lie upon the wings of night whiter than new snow on a raven’s back”
Raven’s are symbols of bad luck
3.2: Night / darkness imagery
“And bring in cloudy night immediately”
“Love-performing night”
“Civil night”
“Wings of night”
“All the world will be in love with might”
“Pay no worship to the garish sun”
This is significant as it reflects the mood shift towards the darker tone in the play, as previously, there was a recurring motif of light and angelic imagery.
4.5: Juliet’s relationship with her father after she disobeys him
“Out, you baggage!”
“Disobedient wretch”
2.2: Form demonstrating Romeo and Juliet’s love cannot be
Juliet’s soliloquy is in iambic pentameter apart from “Oh Romeo, Romeo, wherefore art thou Romeo”. This broken meter suggests that their love cannot be due to Romeo’s name.
