Here are some well-known quotes from Romeo and Juliet in the order in which they appear in the play.

Romeo and Juliet (2006), directed by Nancy Meckler.

A pair of star-crossed lovers take their life.
(Chorus, Prologue)

Abraham: Do you bite your thumb at us, sir?
Sampson: I do bite my thumb, sir.
(Act 1 Scene 1)

But, soft, what light through yonder window breaks?
It is the east, and Juliet is the sun.
(Romeo, Act 2 Scene 1)

O Romeo, Romeo, wherefore art thou Romeo?
(Juliet, Act 2 Scene 1)

That which we call a rose
By any other word would smell as sweet.
(Juliet, Act 2 Scene 1)

Parting is such sweet sorrow.
(Juliet, Act 2 Scene 1)

For this alliance may so happy prove,
To turn your households' rancour to pure love.
(Friar Laurence, Act 2 Scene 2)

These violent delights have violent ends.
(Friar Laurence, Act 2 Scene 5)

A plague o' both your houses!
(Mercutio, Act 3 Scene 1)

Mercy but murders, pardoning those that kill.
(Prince, Act 3 Scene 1)

O deadly sin! O rude unthankfulness!
(Friar Laurence, Act 3 Scene 3)

Hang thee, young baggage, disobedient wretch!
I tell thee what: get thee to church o'Thursday,
Or never after look me in the face.
(Capulet, Act 3 Scene 5)

Romeo, Romeo, Romeo! Here's drink: I drink to thee.
(Juliet, Act 4 Scene 3)

O true apothecary,
Thy drugs are quick. Thus with a kiss I die.
(Romeo, Act 5 Scene 3)

O happy dagger,
This is thy sheath: there rust, and let me die.
(Juliet, Act 5 Scene 3)

All are punished.
(Prince, Act 5 Scene 3)

For never was a story of more woe
Than this of Juliet and her Romeo.
(Prince, Act 5 Scene 3)

Here are some of the key terms that get used when talking about Shakespeare's language, so you can look out for them in Romeo and Juliet.

A sonnet is a poem of 14 lines, written in iambic pentameter. It has three stanzas of four lines, with an ABAB rhyme scheme, and ends with a rhyming couplet. They are traditionally love poems.

Dramatic irony is a literary technique in which the significance of a character's words or actions are clear to the audience but unknown to the character speaking them.

Shakespeare writes in a combination of prose and verse. Verse is like poetry and it has a set structure and rhythm. The rhythm Shakespeare uses in his plays is called iambic pentameter, which is like a heartbeat, with one soft beat and one strong beat repeated five times. Sometimes it's also interesting to look at lines that don't match the rhythm of iambic pentameter and to think about why.
In Shakespeare's plays you will find examples of antithesis, which is when two opposites are put together, like hot and cold or light and dark. Characters also often end speeches with rhyming couplets, which are two lines written in iambic pentameter that end in the same sound, or a rhyme. Shakespeare also writes sonnets which combine iambic pentameter and rhyming couplets to great effect. Shakespeare uses dramatic irony to give the audience clues about what is coming next in the play and foreshadow the characters' tragic ends.

The following activities are great ways to introduce iambic pentameter and antithesis in Romeo and Juliet to a group of students. They also look at how language can be used as a weapon in the opening scenes.
Exploring Language (2008)
There are three activities in the pack. Each of them takes approximately 30 minutes. Please note video clips are no longer available from the 2008 production.

You can also try out the activities in the videos on this page with students.
