Romeo & Juliet Flashcards
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 )
Juliet is saying don’t worry about what families we are from, we can still be together
But, soft! What light through yonder window breaks?
It is the east, and Juliet is the sun! ( Romeo )
Romeo is saying that she is the most beautiful girl he has beer seen
What’s in a name? That which we call a rose
By any other name would smell as sweet ( Juliet )
She is saying it would still smell the same?
With loves light wings did I o’er-perch these walls.
For stony cannot hold love out. ( Romeo )
He climbed the walls because he loves Juliet
My life were better ended by their hate
That death prorogued, wanting of thy love ( Romeo )
They could kill him but he doesn’t care because he loves Juliet
I have no joy of this contract tonight
It is too rash, too unadvised, too sudden ( Juliet )
.
Good night, good night! Parting is such sweet sorrow
That I shall say good night till be morrow. ( Juliet )
She is in love with Romeo
What light through yonder window breaks? It is the East, and Juliet is the sun! ( Romeo )
Romeo loves Juliet
• 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)
Juliet is in love with Romeo and wants to marry him
• Although I joy in thee,
I have no joy of this contract tonight.
It is too rash, too unadvised, too sudden. (Juliet)
To sudden to get married
• Then plainly know my heart’s dear love is set
On the fair daughter of rich Capulet. (Romeo)
They are in love
• If ye lead her in a fool’s
Paradise, as they say, it were a very gross kind of
Behaviour, (The Nurse)
Don’t treat her badly
• Prince of Cats (Mercutio)
He’s the prince of cats
Wisely and slow. They stumble that run fast. (Friar Lawerence
If they go on to fast something will happen
Tybalt, the reason that I have to love thee
Doth much excuse the appertaining rage
To such a greeting ( Romeo )
