OP: Through the use metaphor, connotation and oxymoron, Juliet’s diverse characterization towards Romeo conveys the themes that one’s perspective and feelings towards other people can always change. The audience feels relieved about the fact that Juliet’s feeling changed in a positive way.

Body paragraph:

Through the use of connotation, Shakespeare clearly shows the change in Juliet’s feeling towards Romeo. In Passage 7, Juliet expresses her negative feelings towards Romeo and how she thinks about him with the use of the words “wolvish-ravening lamb” (line 4) and “opposite” (line 6). “Wolvish-ravening lamb” shows how she thought that Romeo was a lamb, but he is extremely evil by calling him a “wolvish-ravening”, meaning that he is a wolf-killing lamb. Lamb’s are often defined as a really nice, innocent animal, and the color of the lamb further shows it. Juliet thinks that Romeo seems innocent on the outside like a lamb, but he is actually wild evil because he kills wolves, and wolves are predators that hunt lamb. Furthermore, the word “opposite” shows how Romeo is not the person she thought he was. Overall, it seems like Romeo is not the person that she used to know. However, later on, Juliet feelings toward Romeo changes completely by characterizing her as royal to Romeo, and how she has made a mistake by looking at him as an evil person. This is clearly shown in phrase “throne where honour may be crown’d” and “what a beast was i to chide at him”. In these phrases, Juliet sees Romeo as an honoured person by using the words “throne” and “crown” to show his royalty and respect for him. She also feels regret and sorrow for herself for being angry at him previously in the passage by comparing herself to a beast. This passage impacted the audience because it has relieved them about the fact that Juliet’s feeling changed into a positive way. With the negative point of view at the start of the passage, the audience was first worried that there might be an impact in Romeo and Juliet’s relationships. However, they become relieved after realizing the fact that Juliet’s perspective positively changes. The sudden shift in Juliet's feelings towards Romeo relates to the theme directly because someone's perspective towards another person has changed, and has shown the possibility that this can happen anytime. To conclude overall, the shift of Juliet’s feelings towards Romeo shows how a person’s perspective towards others and always change, and this makes the audience feel relieved about Romeo and Juliet’s relationship.

OP:
In the passage, Juliet is questioning her own passion and comparing her reason of love for Romeo towards her family and outside relationships. Juliet is not realizing the change in morality because of Romeo's actions, Juliet is not allowing herself to view different perspectives like her Nurse's, a close friend and companion in life. Juliet is censoring her view of Romeo's brutal choice in life since she is so devoted to her life with Romeo. This passage shows how the strong relationship between Romeo and Juliet makes both characters feel biased in the actions of what they have done discarding all other aspects. Through the use of oxymoron and the comparison of Romeo like honourable villain and a damned saint.

Body Paragraph:
Juliet was shown a change in morality in this passage, as she sides with Romeo even though Romeo has killed one of her own kin. Juliet creates an unnatural perspective towards Romeo's actions, showing how powerful the relationship between the two characters are. When Juliet begins to conclude her perspective, the Nurse expresses her opposition towards Romeo, which was shown here

OP:
This passage shows how much the Nurse dislikes Romeo. This makes the audience feel annoyed as we know that Romeo is not a bad person. The theme shows the audience that the Nurse changes her character from supporting Romeo and Juliet's love to believing that Romeo is a bad person and will harm Juliet. This is shown through personification, shame come to Romeo, Oxymoron, Beautiful Tyrants and enjambment, was ever book containing such vile matter.

Body Paragraph: Shakespeare uses enjambment in Juliet's speech to show that she is very angry and that is why she is talking in a fast way. Shakespeare also uses indirect characterization such as in line 3. "Beautiful tyrant! fiend angelical!". Shakespeare uses oxymoron, Juliet is saying that Romeo is amazing and terrible at the same time.The audience can see that she is talking very fast in lines 9,11,12, 20 and 23. "When thou didst bower the spirit of a fend In moral paradise of such sweet flesh". "Was ever book containing such a vile matter So fairly bound? O that decit should dwell In such a gorgeous palace. Shakespeare uses enjambment to show that Juliet is upset and that is why she is talking very fast.

OP: This passage is important because it shows Juliet's desire to love and show loyalty towards Romeo. Despite hearing news about the murder of Tybalt by Romeo, Juliet eventually regrets chiding him because she realises that Romeo inside is humble and wouldn't want to do any harm to anyone out of wickedness. The audience feels astonished because of how faithful Juliet is in Romeo to do the right thing. This is shown through devices such as anaphora of the word "all," verbal ping pong of "shame," and hyperbole of Romeo's "monarchy."

Body: In this passage, Shakespeare uses verbal ping-pong to convey Juliet's loyalty and faith in Romeo. For example,

OP: This passage is important because it shows Juliet's naive character and how the conflict she is going through helps show her frustration and confusion in this specific conflict.  The conflict of choosing either Romeo or Tybalt's side is important in showing how caring, naive and loving Juliet is towards Romeo. The passage makes the audience feel intrigued as to which side Juliet will pick. It puts the audience at the edge of their seats. Juliet's confusion and frustration in this conflict conveys a theme that people become obstructed and confused when conflict between their loved ones occurs.This is shown through the use of oxymorons, such as beautiful tyrant, strange punctuation, and personification of things like sorrow and shame.

Body Paragraph: The characterization of Juliet and her frustration and confusion in this passage is shown through the use of multiple oxymorons. Oxymorons help show how she cannot decide her feelings towards Romeo. Juliet is frustrated, because she can not decide whether she still loves Romeo, or she resents him for killing Tybalt. Juliet's mixed feelings makes her proclaim in frustration "beautiful tyrant" (Line 77). When one thinks of a tyrant, they think of words such as unfair, corrupt, and evil. On the other hand, the word beautiful means something completely opposite. Words like pure and pleasing come to mind. By putting two opposites together, it shows how she can not think straight and she is confused as to what she believes. Another example of an oxymoron she uses is "an honourable villain!" (Line 81). Once again, she uses two completely different words to portray her feelings. When one thinks of villain, they immediately think of words like evil, outlaw, and thug. But someone who is honourable is considered honest, moral, and righteous. The connotation behind these two words completely contradict each other, so by putting them together, it shows Juliet's character is indecisive over her thoughts and is conflicted as to what she thinks of Romeo. Juliet uses multiple oxymorons, like "beautiful tyrant" and "honourable villain!" because she does not know what to think of Romeo. Romeo's actions betrayed Juliet and her feelings towards him. The conflict between Romeo and Tybalt tore Juliet in halves, making her conflicted and torn apart as to which side she was on. Juliet's naive character and her frustration shows why people become obstructed and confused when conflict between their loved ones occurs.

OP: This passage is important because it shows Juliet's feeling of depression and hate because of what Romeo did, and how she comes out of this depression for her love. This presents more about Juliet's characteristics because she was so loving and so peaceful throughout the whole poem until Romeo killed Tybalt then it shows how hateful Juliet can become. But it shows another part of her character, it shows how even if someone has done something so wrong she will think about everything that has happened and tries to think of what she would do in that situation. A person should not be judged by what they do without knowing the reason why. All of this is showed by oxymoron, metaphor and personification.

Body paragraph: In passage 7, act 3, scene 2 from Romeo and Juliet, there are many uses of indirect characterizations to convey and connect to the theme. The first example of indirect characterization in this passage is Juliet saying “Beautiful tyrant! Fiend Angelical!” (line 3). In this quote, by using oxymoron, Juliet indirectly characterizes Romeo as an exceptional, and horrible at the same time. This happens through the selection of words, beautiful is something good, and tyrant is something bad. Fiend is something bad, and angelical is something good. This example shows how Juliet is doubtful about Romeo, and is not sure if she should hate or love him. She especially feels this way because Romeo killed Tybalt. The second use of indirect characterization in this passage is again by Juliet. She exclaims that Romeo is a “damned saint” and an “honourable villain” (line 7). In this line, there is again a use of oxymoron. The oxymoron shows how Juliet is still doubtful about Romeo, and still does not know if she should forgive Romeo or forget about him and move on with her life. The third use of indirect characterization is used by Nurse. Nurse is in dispute with Romeo and states “Shame come to Romeo.”(Line 19), This quote is important because it is right when Juliet changes her mind about Romeo and exclaims to Nurse “Blister’d be thy tongue.” (line 20). This quote used by Juliet shows how Juliet is angry at Nurse for talking bad about Romeo, even mad at herself for doubting Romeo and judging him in such a disrespectful manner. The last use of indirect characterization in this passage is Juliet talking about Romeo objecting that Romeo is a “sole monarch of the universal earth.”(line 24). This quote, finally shows how Juliet is sure about what she believes. It presents how Juliet still loves Romeo and that passionate she is about her love. All these quotes connect to the theme that one should never doubt their love. This is displayed by the doubtfulness Juliet has for Romeo in the beginning, and the regret of doubting Romeo at the end.

OP:

This passage is of significance because it characterises Juliet as an extremely supportive wife towards her beloved husband, Romeo. This affects the audience by dividing them into sides and causing them conflict of whether to think Juliet’s ability to love Romeo after his actions is admirable or if she is too blinded by her love to realise his imperfection. The devices used to inflict these emotions to the audience are metaphor of Romeo and the book, the hyperbole of the sole monarch of the universe, and the oxymoron of the honourable villain.

Body Paragraph:

Through the use of hyperbole and Juliet’s change in attitude, Shakespeare implies how true love can sometimes blind one from the other’s mistakes. Juliet’s starting attitude of anger and disbelief is expressed through her exclamation of “Beautiful tyrant” (Line 3) which proclaims Juliet’s rage towards Romeo for his betrayal of murdering her cousin, and towards herself for easily trusting Romeo’s facade. She describes his facade as “beautiful” but then contradicting it with the insult of “tyrant” to represent his true colours that she has recently discovered. Secondly, Juliet’s sudden curse of “Blister’d by thy tongue” (Line 20) directed towards the Nurse who had disrespected Romeo shows her immediate defence for Romeo’s honour. A tongue being “Blister’d” is a vile occurrence and conveys Juliet’s aggressiveness towards the Nurse for spitting upon Romeo’s pride. To conclude Juliet’s awe for Romeo and complete change of attitude towards him, she declares him being the, “Sole monarch of the universal earth” (Line 24). The use of this hyperbole depicts that Romeo is superior than everyone from the entire universe. Juliet’s use of “sole” means that Romeo has the complete power and is the only man that has the ability to rule the universe. Shakespeare changes the attitude of Juliet to convey her blind love for Romeo and a hyperbole to show that how significant Romeo is to her world.

OP

Through the use of metaphor, Cacophony and contrast, Shakespeare conveys Juliet's contrasting emotions about the subject of Romeo's involvement in Tybalt's death. The author characterizes Juliet as fiercely protective and loyal to Romeo. Her initial anger subsides, and her attitude shifts, as soon as the nurse voices her disgust for Romeo. This shows her unwavering devotion to her lover. This arouses a sense of relief in the audience as Juliet calms down, reiterating the fact that that love will endure all challenges.

Body Paragraph

Firstly, Shakespeare uses contrasting metaphors to convey the message that Juliet will forever remain devoted toward Romeo. He uses the quote “Was ever book containing such vile matter” (Line 85) to show her disgust for Romeo’s actions. This portrays Juliet’s frustration and anger toward Romeo, which contrasts what is in her heart. Shakespeare compares Romeo to a beautiful book with vile content. The use of the word “vile” has negative connotation once again, shows Juliet's outrage towards Romeo’s actions, which may be unforgivable. Juliet later says, “O, what a beast was I to chide at him!” (line 99) contrastic her earlier rage. In this quote shakespeare compares Juliet to a “beast”, which typically describes someone without humanity.This serves purpose to display her shame at chastising him rather than staying true to her love.  These metaphors are used to convey her contrasting reactions to what she sees as a betrayal. This characterizes Juliet as quick tempered, but also as a faithful wife. Once, the audience sees Juliet’s shift in emotional perspective, it helps them see the situation from her eyes. The audience is reassured of their love, if they can get past this conflict. Therefore, metaphors are used to differentiate Juliet's immediate reaction, from one that is thought out.

OP:
Through the use of metaphor, allusion and personification, Juliet's characterisation differentiates her as someone who even through complicated times is still loyal to who she loves. The audience is hit with a sense of relief because they realise that she is able to get through her own problems.

Allusion Paragraph:

Through the use of allusion Shakespeare is able to push certain ideas to the audience. In the first line if the passage Juliet states, ”O serpent heart, hid with a flow'ring face”. In this line Shakespeare alludes to the garden of Eden, the serpent refers to the devil who came to eve with the face of a young girl and tricked her. This allusion is similar to Juliet's Initial thoughts of Romeo after she had gotten news of Tybalt's murder. Juliet felt that Romeo had betrayed her had tricked her into this problem, making her question her loyalty to Romeo. Even through this she is able to forgive herself and instead gains her loyalty to romeo and curses herself for questioning his judgement. Even through all this loyalty she is still hurt by following this path and loses her life.

# data[].attributes.body
OP: In this passage, Juliet’s attitude changes towards Romeo. After Romeo kills Tybalt, Juliet is uses a harsh connotation toward him. But later she wishes no shame and is upset at herself for cursing him. Shakespeare is characterising Juliet by using a different connotation than she normally uses towards Romeo. The affect on the audience changes throughout the passage due to Juliet attitude changing. The mood of the audiences starts hateful, but ends sympathetic towards Romeo. This is shown through the use of oxymoron, metaphor, personification.

Body Paragraph: Through the use of metaphor, Shakespeare compares two unlike things to make a different understanding of the character. “Was ever book containing such vile matter so rarely bound?” (Line 11). in this quote, Juliet is comparing Romeo to a book containing a vile matter. This metaphor is showing a hateful attitude. This affects the audience because it gives them a despiteful connotation toward Romeo. “O, what a beast was I to chide at him!” (Line 25). In this quote, Juliet compares herself to a beast because she feels that Romeo should not be shamed on. She feels sympathy for Romeo after the the Nurse and she curse him a lot.

# data[].attributes.body
OP: This passage is important because it shows that no matter what Romeo does Juliet will be on his side. This brings a tense mood to the passage because in the passage Juliet is using many oxymorons to describe Romeo which puts the audience on edge, but Juliet soon decides that she still loves Romeo. This is shown with personification, alliteration, oxymorons, and metaphors.

Body Paragraph-  In this passage Juliet uses many oxymorons such as “beautiful tyrant” and “dove-feather’d raven”(lines 3 and 4) to address Romeo. The oxymorons show her mixed feelings for Romeo she is experiencing for example, beautiful tyrant, she is saying she wants to think he is a beautiful person in and out, but in reality she thinks he is a tyrant, being a cruel ruler. This shows how much she wants to love him and trust him. At the end of the poem it is clear how loyal she is to him because she changes from wishing shame on him to saying she is wrong, she states “blister’d be thy tongue for such a wish! He was not born to shame” this shows how wrong Juliet feels about what she has said about Romeo, and it shows she has sympathy for him. This makes it clear the strong devotion Juliet has for Romeo. The Nurse is showing how shameful Romeo, and that Juliet is right, this is when Juliet changes her feelings because she hears how terrible it sounds. The theme of the passage is

Through the use of Metaphor, Personification and Oxymoron, Shakespeare conveys the message that when one is in love they have the ability to look past the hardships that may occur. Shakespeare characterizes Juliet as a loving wife who is able to look past Romeos mistakes and shames herself when she is unable to. The affect that this has on the audience is that creates a sense of relief that Juliet is able to forgive Romeo in such a short amount of time.

Firstly, Shakespeare uses Metaphor to show Juliets forgiveness to Romeo when he kills Tybalt. Juliet states in anger "Was ever book containing such vile matter So fairly bound?" (Line 85, 86) when she first finds out that Romeo has killed her cousin. In this quote, Romeo is being compared to a beautiful book that is filled with vile content. This shows how Juliet sees Romeo as a beautiful person on the outside but is a truly vile person on the inside. This proves the point that Romeo and Juliet got married to quickly without getting to know one another and find out things that they should know before getting married. This also shows that every one has a perfect image on the outside but are completely different people on the inside. Juliet has a changed of heart when she says, "O, what a beast was I to chide at him!" (Line 99) this quote shows that Juliet has changed her mindset on what happened with Romeo. She is comparing herself to a beast because she feels that she jumped to a conclusion to fast without an explanation from Romeo. She is ashamed of herself for ever saying that Romeo is a vile human being and that she cursed at him without his consent. Juliet now has taken Romeos place as a vile creature and feels terrible for the things she has said. Juliet wishes to take back the words that she has said and hopes to listen to Romeos side of the story. Overall, these metaphors show that when one is in love they are able to look past the hardships that may occur. Juliet shows this in the second quote when she shames herself for not being able to look past the mistake Romeo has made and feels terrible for saying what she did in the first quote.

OP: Through the use of metaphor, personification, and anaphora this passage shows both anger and a supportive mood from Juliet, which shows her undying love towards Romeo. Through Juliet's forgiving characterization it shows that after a tragedy people could rage and be angry, but in the end the power of love will make them forgive. This makes the audience feel relieved about Romeo and Juliet's relationship.

Body Paragraph:
Through the use of metaphor Shakespeare expresses the forgiving love of Juliet. The first metaphor that Juliet uses in the passage is when she says, "Was ever book containing such vile matter" (line 85), which shows Juliet being mad at Romeo and compares him as a book that has "vile matter". Juliet says "vile", meaning extremely unpleasant, since Juliet is unpleased with Romeo killing Tybalt. In addition, Juliet compared Romeo as a book, because of Romeo's diverse choice of words illustrating Juliets beauty. Near the end, Juliet shows her forgiveness towards Romeo by saying, " O, what a beast was I to chide at him!" (line 99), which shows Juliet comparing herself to a beast for criticizing Romeo and Romeos actions.

OP: Through the use metaphor, connotation and oxymoron, Juliet’s diverse characterization towards Romeo conveys the themes that one’s perspective and feelings towards other people can always change. The audience feels relieved about the fact that Juliet’s feeling changed in a positive way.

Body paragraph:

Through the use of connotation, Shakespeare clearly shows the change in Juliet’s feeling towards Romeo. In Passage 7, Juliet expresses her negative feelings towards Romeo and how she thinks about him with the use of the words “wolvish-ravening lamb” (line 4) and “opposite” (line 6). “Wolvish-ravening lamb” shows how she thought that Romeo was a lamb, but he is extremely evil by calling him a “wolvish-ravening”, meaning that he is a wolf-killing lamb. Lamb’s are often defined as a really nice, innocent animal, and the color of the lamb further shows it. Juliet thinks that Romeo seems innocent on the outside like a lamb, but he is actually wild evil because he kills wolves, and wolves are predators that hunt lamb. Furthermore, the word “opposite” shows how Romeo is not the person she thought he was. Overall, it seems like Romeo is not the person that she used to know. However, later on, Juliet feelings toward Romeo changes completely by characterizing her as royal to Romeo, and how she has made a mistake by looking at him as an evil person. This is clearly shown in phrase “throne where honour may be crown’d” and “what a beast was i to chide at him”. In these phrases, Juliet sees Romeo as an honoured person by using the words “throne” and “crown” to show his royalty and respect for him. She also feels regret and sorrow for herself for being angry at him previously in the passage by comparing herself to a beast. This passage impacted the audience because it has relieved them about the fact that Juliet’s feeling changed into a positive way. With the negative point of view at the start of the passage, the audience was first worried that there might be an impact in Romeo and Juliet’s relationships. However, they become relieved after realizing the fact that Juliet’s perspective positively changes. To conclude overall, the shift of Juliet’s feelings towards Romeo shows how a person’s perspective towards others and always change, and this makes the audience feel relieved about Romeo and Juliet’s relationship.

OP Passage 7 -
Through the usage of oxymoron, anaphora, imagery, and metaphor, Shakespeare is able to portray that unfeigned love will always find it’s way to be preserved. Despite Juliet’s initial skepticism concerning Romeo’s personality, she is so blinded by her love for Romeo that she disregards his unforgivable sin and continues to love him.

OP

Through the use of metaphor, oxymoron and diction, Juliet is indirectly characterized as someone who shows extreme loyalty towards the person she loves. This is shown by the overarching theme of how too much loyalty towards a person can lead to tragedy. This makes the audience feel extremely concerned for the young inexperienced couple, who have underestimated the power of their unwavering actions.

Body Paragraph

Through the use of connotation in passage 7, the extreme but concerning loyalty for Romeo is shown from Juliet. Juliet expresses her loyalty through the word choice of “shame,” “throne,” honor,” and “beast.” Shame quite literally means a feeling of humiliation caused by the realization that one’s past actions were wrong. The word shame is often connoted with being chastised as a child might and a feeling of new understanding. This shows that Juliet is upset with herself for having insulted Romeo and believes that it is within the best of her interests to continue loving him as before in spite of the fact that he has killed her close relative. This also leads her to berate her closest friend the nurse because she feels humiliated to have contradicted Romeo’s intentions. A throne is basically what a king or queen sits upon as an expression of his or her power. The word throne gives the image of power and of being just so by saying that Romeo is a throne for honor, she is in effect saying that he is the most honorable person on Earth and her undying loyalty for him will remain in spite of any of his actions. This ultimately leads to her untimely death as shown later on in the story and links back to the theme of how resolute and inconsiderate loyalty leads to tragedy. Moreover, “honor” is defined as high respect, and this demonstrates the theme that Juliet has extreme loyalty towards Romeo. Because she shows that she honors Romeo and his name with proud as it was worn by like a crown. Lastly, Juliet expresses her loyalty by using “beast”, a beast is looked upon as a disgraceful and untrustworthy and unloyal creature. Juliet uses this word to describe herself, for what she has said about Romeo and instantly regrets it, which show she wants to demonstrate her loyalty and her honor towards Romeo, and not to “chide” at him. Therefore, Shakespeare effectively characterizes Juliet as a loyal and supportive wife of Romeo, who does not stop to consider the imlications of her own actions or those of Romeo.

OP: Through the use of oxymoron, indirect characterization, and metaphor it is shown that Juliet's confusion is a result of Romeo's actions , to kill Tybalt. During this passage Juliet continues to express her conflicting feelings with herself with both insults and compliments towards her husband as she also values her family.Generally the audience is affected with feelings of sadness and empathy toward Juliet as a result of the death of her cousin and love for Romeo.

Body Paragraph:

OP: Through the use the of oxymorons, indirect characterisation, and metaphor, the author shows that love is ever changing. Through this, the audience feels unsure about Romeo and Juliet’s relationship.

Body Paragraph: Through the use of indirect characterizations, Shakespeare shows Juliet’s relationship with Romeo is unstable. This is shown through when Juliet said, “a damned saint, an honourable villain!”. This shows that through the contradictory diction of “saint” and “villain” that Juliet is unsure what Romeo true character is like. Secondly, when Juliet said, “sole monarch of the universal Earth.”. This shows from the contradiction of previous statements on Romeo, for example, when she called him, “a beautiful tyrant”. The change of her thought process, through a short period of time shows that the relationship is very unstable.

# data[].attributes.body
OP: Through oxymoron, metaphor, and anaphora, Shakespeare conveys that if the love between two people is strong enough then they can pull through even the toughest times. This shows that Juliet is forgiving and considerate because although she was enraged that Romeo killed her cousin, she is still so inlove with him, she is willing to overlook his actions.

BODY PARAGRAPH:
Shakespeare uses oxymoron to demonstrate that Juliet is forgiving and considerate. She was enraged with the fact that he killed her cousin, yet managed to overlook his actions because she is so in love with him. One example of an oxymoron in Passage 7 is, "damned saint" (line 81). Damned means that someone is condemned by god to suffer, whereas a saint is a person who is considered to be holy and virtuous. These are two contradicting ideas that are put together in order to create an oxymoron. Another example of an oxymoron is, "honorable villain" (line 81). The definition of honorable is someone who is worthy of respect, whereas a villain is someone who is evil and contradictorily is not worthy of respect or honor. It portrays the fact that even if Juliet is mad at Romeo for killing Tybalt, calling him "damned" and a "villain", she is still in love with him, thus calling him "honorable" and a "saint". This shows that if the love between two people is strong enough then they can pull through even the toughest times, just like Romeo and Juliet.
