Romeo And Juliet Flashcards
What does lord capulet say about Juliet in act 1 scene 2?(what does it suggest???????)
“My child is yet a stranger to the world”
Metaphor to her inexperienced in life and love, who is isolated from the world.
Shakespeare implys, that parents have caused isolation, tradition and socioty holds them back. Not individual
or parents are wise, and know what best for there children, socioty should oppose Protestant reformation
What does Romeo say act 1 scene 5?(what does it suggest?)
“O, she doth teach the torches to burn bright!” Plosive alliteration, makes it short and abrupt sounding, as he talks about how beautiful Juliet is. Outshines other light. Emphasis Romeo’s passion for love.
(Shakespeare beliefs of fate and destiny, shines bright like a star, which are fatted in the sky like “star crossed lovers”)
**the flame is too dangerous, as it could burn Romeo, foreshadows his death and shows his immaturity to life **
What does Juliet say in act 2 scene 2?
“Parting is such sweet sorrow”
Is an oxymorons, they do not want to leave each other, they are connected, although the next time they meet, they will get married.
Shakespeare left his country and marries on his own will, he may be saying it is hard but rewarding to divert from tradition/family or could suggest the opposite
What does friar Lawrence say in act 2 scene 2?
“Violent delights have violent ends”
Oxymoron, foreshadows the events which may happen, “could imply religious poeple/ god knows what is happening and does not change the events, god may be untrustworthy? World needs change
god knows everything, and we should listen to him through his messages, then maybe we could change our inevitable fate’s
What does Mercurio say in act 3 scene 1
“A plague o’ both your houses” a metaphor, suggests Mercurio is cursing both the houses for causing his death. Implying that his death was meaningless.
Shakespeare, from an era of reformation,present a theme of tradedgy, maybe change is bad, goes against Protestantism. Or From Romeo immaturity to try and fall in love with Juliet, which looks impossible. Emphasis poeple should listen to family. ** maybe family isolating children have made them immature**
What does capulet say in act 3 scene 5 (and what does it suggest??)
“Hang thee, young baggage! disobedient wretch!!
Plosive letter choices of b and d, convey capulet anger, as if he’s spitting out the words. “Baggage” implies Juliet is a burden, due to her father viewing her as responsible for there future, now sees her as an inconvenience. Called young emphasises immature behavior meant that she must always obey her father
*Conveys the need for a patriarchal society to avoid conflict, shaspeare lives in this socioty, helping validate the audience on there beliefs, as Verona is a foreign place to England. Indicate its dangers
What does Juliet say in act 4 scene 1 when visiting friar Lawrence for help. And what does this imply?
“What must be shall be”
This is equivocation: means using lots of double meanings in her words
So could indicate to Paris, that Juliet will marry her. Although imply a it about Romeo… which foreshadows how desperate Juliet will be to marry Romeo.
Maybe insinuating at the beginning “star crosse lovers” it is her fate that she is in live and wants to marry romeo. Could either convey she is in control and all knowing, hence the end when Juliet is said first “Juliet and her romeo” Shakespeare encourage more stronger feminism. In response catholic criticism. Stating traditional women role. Potential new Islam and Protestant beliefs could say otherwise
Or that she is at her own fault for defying tradition. And is punished, reastablishing laws of gif and Catholics is crucial to live in
(Critics have suggested)
