Romeo and Juliet (MOOD) The balcony seen where Juliet confesses her love for Romeo had a romantic mood in it. The actors (Johnny and Amelia) used the space very well since there was very limited space. In the scene Romeo is leaving the party where he comes across Juliet on the balcony admitting her love for him. In this scene Romeo (Johnny Balbuziente) used a very high pitched voice and a happy tone since he can see his love talking about her. His facial expressions and his body language indicated that he was flattered and in love. Juliet (Amelia) in this scene had a medium to high pitched voice which was slow paced (especially when she said Romeo, Romeo where art though) and had a sad (but also in one line she was excited) tone in her voice.
Who would be willing to die for their loved ones? Romeo and Juliet would and did. Romeo and Juliet’s love and death brought two families together who could not even remember the origin of their hate. When the parents saw what their children's love for each other, they realized that their fighting had only led to suffering and insoluble conflict. Romeo and Juliet loved each other to an extent that they killed themselves rather than live apart. They did it with no hiatus. Juliet says before she kills herself, “O happy dagger, This is thy sheath. There rust and let me die.”( 5, 3, 182-183) demonstrating how she would rather die than not be with him.
William Shakespeare’s diverse use of rhetorical and figurative language enhances and develops the moods he conveys, thus creating vast and various atmospheres throughout his works. An example of one his works that uses many of these devices is Shakespeare’s renowned Romeo and Juliet. In the famous play, the two lovebirds (Romeo and Juliet), fall in a forbidden love as the long-lasting rivalry between their two families continues its onslaught. The couple later on tragically commit suicide, which ultimately ends the feud. During the journey of the two lovers, Shakespeare expresses clearly the mood of each scene using figurative language.
How Shakespeare Creates a Variety of Dramatic Moods in Act 1 Scene 5 of Romeo and Juliet
The author uses words like confess and love to indicate that she is confessing her love but in a confusing way for Paris. Next, Shakespeare uses Romeo to show that he is involved in romance that does nott last very long and has mass influences in his and his “lovers” life. Romeo and Juliet are so caught up in their romance that they do not look at the consequences around them. Romeo has a influence on Juliet and not a very good one. One of those bad influence moments were when she said: “Yea, noise?
that he wants the sun to kill him, as the grief of waiting is too
When he climbs the trellis in the hope of seeing Juliet but discovers the nurse instead, his facial expression turns from one of lust and longing, to one of utter disgust and horror. When Romeo scurries down the trellis, his demeanour is hurried and rushed and we get a sense of urgency as he holds his breath. When Juliet appears from the elevator, he is flattered that she is speaking of him "O Romeo, Romeo, wherefore art thou Romeo?" After a short while he begins to shadow her, seemingly taken aback by her affectionate remarks and breathtaking beauty. Romeo seems almost intoxicated by Juliet; he continuously gazes deep into her eyes and follows her very closely throughout the scene.
The Way Juliet Feels in Act 3 Scene 2 of William Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet
In scene 1 Romeo's form of speech is already in contrast with the other characters in the play. For example at the start of the play Sampson and Gregory are boasting and laughing about how they wish to deal with the Montague women. " Tis true, and therefore women being the weaker vessels are ever thrust to the wall." This manner of speech contrasts with the way in which Romeo speaks about women, "She is too fair, too wise; wisely too fair, to merit bliss by making me despair. " This builds up the audiences love for young Romeo and when the audience likes a character they are likely to feel sympathy for that character if something tragic happens as is did in this play.
The play Romeo and Juliet, written by William Shakespeare, is about a tragic love story which ultimately causes the death of two star-crossed lovers, Romeo Montague and Juliet Capulet, from feuding families. Throughout the play, Shakespeare incorporates an abundance of figurative language to enhance his writing. This is evident in the famous “balcony” scene in Act 2, Scene 2 where Shakespeare uses metaphors to convey Romeo’s feelings towards Juliet, an analogy to give a better understanding of Romeo’s relationships, and imagery to create a visual atmosphere for the reader to see what Romeo sees in Juliet.
All hopeless romantics get dreamy-eyed and sigh whenever the balcony scene from Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet comes up in conversation. Juliet stands on her balcony, innocently murmuring about her meeting with Romeo while the very subject of her musings eagerly climbs the garden wall and trellis leading up to the object of his love, Juliet. Anyone viewing Luhrmann's Romeo + Juliet will be sadly disappointed at first to see that the movie doesn't follow the traditional balcony scene. Instead the clandestine meeting and swearing of mutual love takes place in a swimming pool at the Capulet's mansion. For all that the setting differs, Romeo + Juliet does use traditional Shakespearean themes and ideas even if they appear in a somewhat untraditional fashion.
One of the most significant reasons why Shakespeare’s all-time great plays of the Elizabethan Era became so widely recognizable is because of the way it was written. Shakespeare gave the world a beautifully-blended mix of poetry and language to go along with a captivating story. The effect of that combination masterfully created some of the most highly-regarded plays in history. The story of Romeo and Juliet turned into one of those. It is said to be one of the most cleverly written plays ever because of all of the poetic devices, use of figurative language, and the speech being spoken in 16th Century English, which is what was being utilized during Shakespeare's time. In one of the more famous scenes from Romeo and Juliet, the balcony conversation,
When Romeo meets Juliet, he claimed to be immediately in love. Although he has been sulking over Rosaline, when he met Juliet, he states, “Did my heart love till now? forswear it sight! For I ne’er saw true beauty till this night” (Act 1.5 Lines 51-52). The entire time as he envisions love with Rosaline, it was all incoherent. Romeo’s impulsive attitude causes him to fall head over heels with Juliet, which begins the drama in this play.
The balcony scene is a key part in Romeo and Juliet as it shows there
Paris was at the chapel to tell Friar Lawrence that he and Juliet were getting married on Thursday. Juliet tells Paris “I need to confess your ill-smelling breath! Why don’t you find yourself a breath mint?” I used glitter on the outside of the mask to represent Juliet being a beautiful young girl. In Act 1 Scene 3 the Nurse tells Juliet “You were the prettiest baby I ever nursed. Now you are already 13.” Also, Romeo spots Juliet for the first time at her father’s party and his first words about her are “Yo, she’s bangin’!” I wrapped pearls around the stick to give others the feeling that she has her daddy wrapped around her finger doing everything for her. Juliet is a spoiled brat who can’t do anything for herself and everyone else works hard to make her happy. In Act 3 Scene 5 Capulet is shouting at Lady Capulet because he is mad at Juliet for not wanting to marry Paris. He says “I have worked hard to provide Juliet with everything she needs to be happy. But, the only response I get from her is thanks, but no thanks.” The big heart eyes serve as Juliet having an enormous amount of affection for
Juliet’s overall tone in this scene is mainly clever and smart. She knows what Romeo’s trying to do when he first talks to her, and in the sonnet, she responds to him trying to justify a reason to just hold hands and not kiss. Her tone tends to shift from clever and smart to more happy and astonished at what had just happened, the fact that she had met someone whom she had loved at first sight. It was as if her whole idea about the concept of love changed, because after her encounter with Romeo, she seemed to be infatuated with love for him. This whole situation of Romeo and Juliet meeting for the first time is truly a magical part of the play, and what especially gives it the most emphasis is the fact that it’s all written in a sonnet. The concept of them going back and forth, exchanging words that happen to match a perfect sonnet together while Romeo professes his love, makes it almost seem like what Romeo and Juliet are going through is in a whole different dimension. The structure of their meeting in a sonnet also adds romance and feeling to their encounter, making it an even more prominent part of the play. This whole confrontation in general proves the significance of Romeo’s and Juliet’s love, accurately portraying the
