Juliet's loyalty is highly reflected in both these quotes. She lays in her bed unconscious and Romeo pictures her in ways only a couple with true love floating about could have.

Presents both Juliet's fears between her and Romeo, accepting the consequences that may lead up to both their fates.

In a sense, I do think Romeo expresses both love and infatuation towards Juliet in this quote. He reflects positively on what he's witnessed in front of his very eyes, but starts to feel a sense of guilt. He worries maybe Juliet is right, they may be moving too fast with their relationship, maybe it isn't love or infatuation, but lust. It may just be fake love and Juliet is ready to jump to her next love. In regards to Tybalt, I believe in a way he thinks killing Tybalt was the wrong decision. If Romeo was killing him just for Juliet, then maybe all of that was for nothing if Juliet were to leave Romeo to face the consequences of being banished.

Juliet finally contemplates what may happen if she were to forfeit or follow through with Friar Lawrence's plan. If she were to wake the following morning, she would be forced to marry Paris and leave Romeo to be banished. In addition, she thinks back to Tybalt's spirit. How she is worried if she were to drink the vial his spirit would rise from the grave and hunt Romeo down, leaving Juliet defenseless. Finally, if she did follow through with the plan, Romeo would have a more difficult time comprehending her "death" because he is the one being transferred information back and forth and something may ultimately go wrong.

Romeo sees Juliet's personality as a heaven on earth, as the other animals and wild creatures surround her and her beauty from within. He then begins to think about his unworthiness to be with Juliet. Romeo imagines a significant other, or even in this case, an animal, stealing her lips away from Romeo.

Listed in the analysis, Juliet sits with the vial in her hands discussing with herself the different situations that were to occur if she lay unconscious. After thinking over Tybalt arising from the grave, Romeo being unsure of Juliet's status on wedding with Paris, she decides to drink the vial, but for one reason only, Romeo. She drinks the potion for Romeo because just like how Romeo is willing to sacrifice his live to be with his love, she is now exchanging that back to him.

Friar Lawrence realizes Romeo is the one who actually killed Tybalt, and forces Romeo to overlook what consequence he is to face if the other Montagues and Capulets discover his true history of sinning.

Friar Lawrence presents Juliet with his master plan to put her asleep up to 42 hours with a vial of potion. Juliet becomes frantic, considering what may happen if the potion was rather a poison than an actual potion, putting you to sleep.

"'Tis torture and not mercy. Heaven is here,
Where Juliet lives, and every cat and dog

And little mouse, every unworthy thing,

Live here in heaven and may look on her,

But Romeo may not. More validity,

More honorable state, more courtship lives

In carrion flies than Romeo. They may seize

On the white wonder of dear Juliet’s hand

And steal immortal blessing from her lips" (Shakespeare 3.3.31-39).

Oh, if I wake, shall I not be distraught, environèd with all these hideous fears,

And madly play with my forefather’s joints,

And pluck the mangled Tybalt from his shroud,

And, in this rage, with some great kinsman’s bone,
As with a club, dash out my desperate brains?

Oh, look! Methinks I see my cousin’s ghost

Seeking out Romeo, that did spit his body

Upon a rapier’s point. Stay, Tybalt, stay!

Romeo, Romeo, Romeo! Here’s drink. I drink to thee" (Shakespeare 4.3.50-60).

This is important because Romeo and Juliet are refraining from keeping the relationship public. If this were to be revealed, the Capulets (such as Tybalt) would begin to hunt down Romeo, causing disruption between both houses, which may eventually lead to both Romeo and Juliet being split apart.

Juliet tells Romeo not to swear on the constant changing moon. Juliet feels their relationship is moving too suddenly and is anxious something may go wrong if they continue to steer the relationship in a fast direction. She is hoping for more love that was taken slower or like a blooming flower, gradually grows over time.

Romeo swears on his love for Juliet nothing can separate their true affection for one another. He realizes what consequences are in play if he is willing to risk his life to be with his only love. Romeo insists on taking their relationship faster than intended but Juliet responds hesitantly.

"Well, do not swear. Although I joy in thee,

I have no joy of this contract tonight.

It is too rash, too unadvised, too sudden,

Too like the lightning, which doth cease to be

Ere one can say 'It lightens.' Sweet, good night. This bud of love, by summer's ripening breath,

May prove a beauteous flower when next we meet.

Good night, good night. As sweet repose and rest

Come to thy heart as that within my breast" (Shakespeare 2.2.123-131).

From movies to television shows, from poetry to music, one thing is for certain--love is almost always in the air.  Yet, love is a concept that should not be oversimplified.  No--there are several aspects to what love is and to what love is not.  Throughout William Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet, the motif of love vs. infatuation is established to help deliver one of the central ideas that love has the power to blind anyone, especially emotional adolescents.  This idea is significant because it emphasizes the point that when people allow themselves to be swept away by passion, they run the risk of ignoring all of the warning signs along the way.

Prompt:  To what extent does Shakespeare rely on his use of antithesis to deliver one of his main messages, and why is this important?

Introductory Paragraph

There is an old saying that opposites attract--that for every yin there is a yang.  Yet, there also exists the popular notion that extreme feelings often lead to extreme endings.  Throughout Romeo and Juliet, William Shakespeare’s repeated use of antithesis helps foreshadow the idea that things will not work out well for the two young lovers, Romeo and Juliet.  This idea is significant because it teaches the audience that loving in moderation is often safer than being swept away by passion.

Prompt:  To what extent does Shakespeare rely on the motif of fate to deliver one of his main messages, and why is this important?

Introductory Paragraph

In popular cinema, the idea of tempting fate or even escaping fate is a prevalent notion.  Movies like Final Destination and Slumdog Millionaire are two relatively well-known examples; plays often explore these same concepts, too.  Throughout William Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet, the motif of fate is established to help deliver one of the central ideas that no matter how hard people try, if they tempt fate or try to defy their destiny, they will likely lose.  This idea is significant because even though people like to think they are in control, sometimes there are greater forces at play.
