Some of the meaningful language can be found when Romeo says, "I dreamt my lady came and found me dead" This is meaningful because it could be foreshadowing to the end of the story when Romeo kills himself and Juliet sees him and then kills herself. In this passage Romeo is also ignoring a huge warning sign of what is to come of his and Juliet's love. This connects to the motif of infatuation because it shows another example of passionate, short-lived, love because Romeo ends up killing himself after thinking that Juliet was dead and then Juliet kills herself knowing that Romeo killed himself for her, therefore ending the short-lived love story.

Some meaningful language can be found when the Friar says, "Holy Church incorporate two into one." This is important because it confirms the marriage between Romeo and Juliet. This connects to the motif of infatuation because after barely knowing each other for 24 hours Romeo and Juliet are wasting no time to get married and everything seems too short lived to make that commitment especially after Romeo was deathly in love with Rosaline and swore she was the only one he could ever love just days before.

"If I may trust the flattering truth of sleep, My dreams presage some joyful news at hand. My bosom's [lord] sits lightly in his throne, and all this day an unaccustomed spirit lifts me above the ground with cheerful thoughts I dreamt my lady came and found me dead (strange dream that gives a dead man leave to think!) and breathed such life with kisses in my lips that I revived and was an emperor. Ah me, how swet is love itself possessedwhen but love's shadows are so rich in joy!" (Shakespeare 5.1.1-12)

Some of the meaningful language can be found when Romeo states, "The all seeing sun ne'er saw her match since first world begun." This emphasizes Romeo's thoughts on Rosaline and shows how she thinks she is the most beautiful person to ever exist. This shows infatuation because Romeo is falling for Rosaline and he is falling hard, all he knows about her is that she is beautiful and that she does not love him back but still he says all these things and swears that she is the only person he can ever love which is pure evidence of intense, short lived passion, or infatuation.

"When the devout religion of mine eye maintains such falsehood, then turns tears to fire; and these who, often drowned, could never die; transparent heretics, be burnt for liars. One fairer than my love? The all seeing sun ne'er saw her match since first world begun." (Shakespeare 1.2.95-100)

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.
