Juliet quotes

• Act 1- my grave is like to be my wedding bed


  'grave' -noun, image of Juliet dying,

  foreshadows that her love for Romeo will

  kill her, even though in this scene she

  believes she will be killed for meeting the

  enemy household, as well links to her not

  wanting to marry Paris, in how she will die

  to prevent herself from having to be with

  Paris.

  'wedding' -noun, links to how Juliet has

  switched her opinions on love and

  marriage in only a few hours, exaggerates

  the instant change in her feelings as soon

  as she has met Romeo due to their instant

  connection and how it's fate

  
  

  dramatic irony- prologue saying they're star crossed lovers, Juliet is unaware of her fate as her impulsive nature becomes her HERMATIA as she fails to grasp the true consequences of pursuing forbidden love

  
  

  Syntax= of grave before wedding bed hints that she will die before being able to consummate her marriage= deterministic themes (set out fate)
• Act 1- then have my lips, a sin that they took


  'sin' -verb, unbeknownst to them they are kissing a member of their rival family, a very dangerous sin to commit due to it presenting both families as weak, showing

  sexual desires towards one another

  outside of wedlock, very much a sin

  because Juliet is meant to be marrying another man.

  'took' -verb, promotes the idea that it was non-consensual, links to the fact that both Romeo and Juliet do not know the lives of each person, resulting in dire consequences as they have acted in sin towards an opposite household
• act 2 - no longer be a Capulet


  -willing to forgo her lineage for a man she has just met

  -this declaration exemplifies her to be rather impulsive and fervid in the way she loves

  -she was born under the sign Leo and elizabethans beloved in celestial bodies to have an enormous influence over a persons disposition explains why Juliet is so akin to the traits of her sign
• Act 2- sweet sweet nurse


  -repetition and endearing tone

  -enjambment= symbolic of the extent of the love she has for the nurse

  -Elizabeth soc= kids were meant to treat parents with utmost respects = lack of emotional support, so she aquires this from the nurse
• Act 3- beautiful tyrant! Fiend angelic!


  'angelical' -represents Romeo as pure and

  perfect and a source of comfort for Juliet,

  as well as someone who offers aid,

  juxtaposition, as an angel cannot be

  represented as a source of sin but good,

  displays the troubles that Romeo has

  caused her even though they're meant to

  be perfect and compatible for each other

  'tyrant' - shows the unjust use of power

  in which he kills Tybalt with, the

  oppressive use of his power shows the

  unjust conflict between the families in

  how they consistently cause conflict

  among one another, displays temptation

  and sin

  -she has been controlled most of her life, and hasn't been able to make decisions for herself e.g: marriage = she's delicate as the only heir= but her loving Romeo is impulsive and helps her liberate from the control she faces
• This torture should be roared in dismal hell


  'roared' -verb, displays her irritation and

  discontent with the situation, due to their

  marriage consisting of constant flaws and problems, shows the first switch from

  happiness from Juliet, the consistent

  downfall from here on

  'torture' -graphic imagery,

  foreshadowing, portrays Juliet's constant

  troubles from this moment onwards, her

  extreme anguish and trouble with her

  emotions
