Give the four main ways in which ‘Love’ is presented in Romeo and Juliet
A unifying source
Both a positive and negative thing
Closely links to death throughout the play
Love can be all consuming, people make unbelievable sacrifices for it
‘O __ __! __ __!…
__ of __, __ __, __ __,
__ __!’
(Fill in the gaps, who says this? What does it mean? When in the play is it said?)
Romeo: O heavy lightness! Serious vanity!…
Feather of lead, bright smoke, cold fire,
sick health!’
Vanity = meaningless (meaningless conflict), heavy = had heavy consequences. All the oxymorons show duality in love. This is said about Rosaline: shows how Romeo’s love for her wasn’t as true as his love for Juliet. Act 1, scene 1
‘O, __ __, __ __! For __ __
As __ to this __, __ __ my __
As is a __ __ of __…’
(Who says this? What does it mean? Fill in the blanks. When in the play is it said?)
Romeo : ‘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…’
Shows how Juliet is holy to him, comparing her to things created to god/holy things, shows how love makes him view her as something close to a religion, something greater than human. Juliet is beautiful, good, magical. Contrasts with dark love for Rosaline. Act 2, Scene 2
‘I __ no __ of this __ __-__:
It is __ __, __ __, __ __;
__ __ the __…’
(Who says this? What does it mean? Fill in the blanks. When in the play is this said?)
Juliet: ‘I have no joy of this contract to-night:
It is too rash, too unadvised, too sudden;
Too like the lighting..’ Act 2, Scene 2
- Juliet is rational and mature, contrasts Romeo’s sometimes brash personality (duality in love)
- Shows she cares for their relationship and wants it to last, as she’s scared it will vanish
- she’s scared the love will disappear before she can experience true love (like the lightning) if they rush
