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
• O Romeo, Romeo! – wherefore 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 sad as romeo is a Montague and she is a capulet
• What’s in a name? That which we call a rose
By any other name would smell as sweet.
Juliet
A name doesn’t mean anything you are who you are
• With love’s light wings did I o’erperch these walls.
For stony limits cannot hold love out.
Romeo
Love makes everything possible.
• My life were better ended by their hate
Than death prorogued, wanting of thy love.
Romeo
I’d rather die then not know if she loves me
• Although I joy in thee,
I have no joy of this contract tonight.
It is too rash, too unadvised, too sudden.
Juliet
To advised to sudden
• Then plainly know my heart’s dear love is set
On the fair daughter of rich Capulet.
Romeo
My heart love the daughter of the rich capulet
• Young men’s love then lies
Not truly in their hearts, but in their eyes.
Friar Lawrence
Young men see beauty not feel beauty
• For this alliance may so happy prove
To turn your households’ rancour to pure love.
Friar Lawrence
If you marry it may bring two houses together
• Wisely and slow. They stumble that run fast.
Friar Lawrence
Go slow if you go t fast you will stumble
• Prince of Cats
Mercutio
Prince of cats
• Now art thou sociable. Now art thou Romeo
Mercutio
Romeo is now sociable
• If ye lead her in a fool’s
Paradise, as they say, it were a very gross kind of
Behaviour,
The nurse
If you don’t love her
• Then hie you hence to Friar Lawerence’ cell.
There stays a husband to make you a wife.
The nurse
When you go to friar lawerence you will meet your husband
These violent delights have violent ends
Friar
If it starts with violence it will end with violence
Tybalt the reason that I have to love thee
Doth much excuse the appertaining rage
To such a greeting
Romeo
The reason I have to like tybalt is because of juliet
A plague a both your houses!
Mercutio
A curse on both Capulets and montagues
This days black fate on more days doth depend.
This but begins the woe others must end
Romeo
The bad luck of today suggests more bad luck is to follow
Either thou or I or both must go with him
Romeo
I or both must go to die with him
Come gentle night. Come loving black browed night
Give me my Romeo and when he shall die
Take him and cut him out in little stars
Juliet
She wants to see romeo
O serpent heart hid with a flowering face!
Juliet
A heart hid by beautiful face
There’s no trust
No faith no honesty in men
Nurse
No trust or faith in men
My husband lives, that tybalt would have slain;
And tybalts dead, that would have slain my husband
All this is comfort
Juliet
My husband would have died if tybalt didn’t die
Heaven is here, where Juliet lives
Romeo
Heaven is where juliet is
Doth she not think of me an old murderer,
Now I have Stained the childhood of our joy,
With blood removed but little from her own?
Romeo
Does she think I’m a killer
These times of woe afford no time to woo
Paris
No time to woo people in the times of woe
I think she will be ruled in all respects of me
Capulet
She will be happy with my decisions
I must be gone and live, or stay and die
Romeo
I must go and live or stay and die
Methinks I see thee, now thou art so low,
As one dead in the bottom of a tomb
Juliet
So low of a person with one dead in the tomb
Marry my child, early next Thursday morn
The gallant, young, and noble gentleman,
The county Paris, at Saint Peters Church,
Shall happily make thee there a joyful bride
Lady capulet
To marry Paris and make a joyful bride
Mistress minion you,
Thank me no thankings, nor proud me no prouds,
But fettle your fine joints against Thursday next
To go with Paris to Saint Peters Church,
Capulet
Get ready to go to St. Peter’s church with Paris
I long to die
If what thou speakest speak not of remedy
Juliet
If your going to speak don’t speak of remedy
Henceforward I am ever ruled by you
Juliet
I am ruled by you
Death lies on her lips like an untimely frost
Upon the sweetest flower of all the field
Capulet
She’s out of season but still the the sweetest
Alack my child is dead
And with my child my joys are buried
Capulet
My happiness and joys are gone because my child was my happiness and joys and she is dead
All things that we ordainèd festival
Turn from their office to black funeral
Capulet
The stuff to be used for the wedding are now being used for a funeral
Your looks are pale and wild and do import some misadventure
Balthasar
Some tragic event is about to happen
I sell the poison. Thou hast sold me none
Romeo
I get the poison not sell it
The letter was not nice, but full of charge
Of dear import; and the neglecting it
May do much danger
Laurence
Unimportant trival with serious business of importance
