42
Q

Romeo: “…..Why then, O brawling love, O loving
hate,/ O any thing of nothing first create!…

A

Use of oxymorons in this section highlights the ineffable quality of love: it is full of contradictions and does not make sense

This speech is 13 lines, which is arguably an imperfect sonnet. This reflects the idea that Romeo’s experience with love is incomplete and flawed.

Irregular rhyming couplets in the section indicates the unpredictable nature of love. This section highlights Romeo’s role as the Petrarchan lover, who suffers from unrequited love.
In Baz Luhrmann’s directorial interpretation, the poetry is personified - it is made more visible, as Romeo is shown writing his dialogue.
This emphasises Petrarchan self-conscious suffering.

43
Q

Montague: “Shuts up his self windows locks fair daylight out And makes himself an artificial night:”

A

Action of making “himself” an “artificial night” implies inflicted isolation. “daylight” and “night”, reflects Romeo’s conflicting emotions.

44
Q

Romeo “o she is rich in beauty. only poor/ that when she dies, with beauty dies her store”

A

Caesura interjects the line, much like how death interrupts her “beauty”. the repetition of the ver “dies” emphasises the indomitable transience of her “beauty” and “store”, which are semantically linked to the body. use of adjectives concerning wealth “rich” and “poor” implies that women are commodities measured by their beauty and fertility
