Romeo And Juliet Flashcards
If ever you disturb our streets again,
Your lives shall pay the forfeit of the peace
The prince says this
He is saying you will be executed for braking peace of it happens again
“What, drawn, and talk of peace? I hate the word
As I hate hell, all Montagues, and thee.”
Tybalt says this
He wants to fight at all costs he can’t why Benvolio talks of peace. Tybalt hates peace he hates all Montague’s and fates Benvolio as much as he hates hell
Fiery tybalt
Benvolio says this
He is saying tybalt is angry
Out of her favour where I am in love
Romeo says this
He means the girl he loves doesn’t love him back
Griefs of mine own lie heavy in my breast
Romeo says this
Means: he has his own share of sadness
She’s the hopeful lady of my earth
But woo her gentle Paris get her heart
My will to her consent is but a part
Capulet says this
Means: all his hopes depend on her. Capulet is telling Paris that his say in Juliet’s marriage is not definite if she favours somebody
And I will make thee think thy swan a crow
Benvolio says this
He means: he’s saying if Romeo goes to the feast he will see other pretty ladies who will make him forget about rosaline
The all-seeing sun ne’er saw her match since first the world begun
Romeo says this
Means: heretics who contradicted the accepted teachings of religion were often burnt to death
But no more deep will I endart mine eye than your consent gives strength to make it fly
Juliet says this
Means: I’ll expect to like him, if looking at him can make me like him but I will make my feelings for him depend on your consent
Is love a tender thing? It is too rough,
Too rude, too boisterous and it pricks like thorn
Romeo says this
Means: love can hurt
If love be rough with you be rough with love.
Mercutio says this
Means: treat love aggressively if its aggressive with him
For my mind misgives some consequence, yet hanging in the stars
Romeo says this
Means: he has doubts and fears
Did my heart love till now? Forswear it, sight!
For I ne’er saw true beauty till this night
Romeo says this
Means: he never saw someone so beautiful to this night
To strike him dead I hold it not a sin
Tybalt says this
Means: he’d have no problem killing him and would not regret it
I will withdraw. But this intrusion shall,
Now seeming sweet, convert to bitterest gall.
Tybalt says this
Means: Romeos visit will have bad results
Go ask his name- if he be marrièd,
My grave is like to be my wedding bed.
Juliet says this
She means: she wants to know more about him
My only love, sprung from my only hate!
Too early seen unknown, and known too late!
Juliet
Means: the man I love is the son of the family I hate. I saw him to soon without knowing who he was fell in love with him and now can’t do anything about it
It is the east and Juliet is the sun
Arise fair sun and kill the envious moon
Romeo
O Romeo Romeo- where for art thou Romeo?
Deny thy father and refuse thy name
Or if thou wilt not be but sworn my love
And I’ll no longer be a capulet
Juliet
She’s saying to say who are you really as she loves him
With loves light wings did I o’ erperch these walls
For stony limits cannot hold love out
Romeo
Fly over
I my life were better ended by their hate
Then death proroguèd wanting of thy love
Romeo
Postponed. If they were deprived of love
I have no joy of this contract tonight
It is too rash to unadvised too sudden
Juliet
I don’t want to make a decision
Parting is such sweet sorrow
That I shall say goodnight till it be morrow
Juliet
Goodbye until tomorrow
• What light through yonder window breaks? It is the East, and Juliet is the sun!
Romeo
Juliet is most beautiful
