Rhetorical Questions

2014-07-16 08:13:59 UTC

The rhetorical questions are used to make this scene even more tragic with Juliet asking 'can heaven be so envious' and 'for who is living if those two are gone?'. One of these questions is based around religion, which links back to the theme of the play, and both show how desperate Juliet has become without Romeo
