When Shakespeare describes Romeo seeing Juliet for the first time, he uses a hyperbole. The hyperbole was used to exaggerate how beautiful she was. When Romeo stated, "teaches the torches to burn bright", Romeo was saying that Juliet was so beautiful that it lit his heart. Romeo started to forget about Rosaline, and he found a new romantic love. Romeo eventually says, "Did my heart love till now?" This quote helps me understand that Romeo's love he had for Rosaline did not seem like real love because  seeing Juliet has lit his heart and he is feeling things he has not felt before.]]> 2018-02-07 16:41:00 UTC https://padlet.com/aphillips18/df6r7dkordh/wish/229189551 https://padlet.com/aphillips18/df6r7dkordh/wish/229189762 The Hyperbole means that Romeo sees Juliet and thinks shes really beautiful]]> 2018-02-07 16:41:18 UTC https://padlet.com/aphillips18/df6r7dkordh/wish/229189762 https://padlet.com/aphillips18/df6r7dkordh/wish/229189859 The hyperbole "O, she doth teach the torches to burn bright" shows that Romeo sees Juliet and thinks she is beautiful and perfect.]]> 2018-02-07 16:41:24 UTC https://padlet.com/aphillips18/df6r7dkordh/wish/229189859 https://padlet.com/aphillips18/df6r7dkordh/wish/229189885 The hyperbole in the text,  "O, she doth teach the torches to burn bright!" was used by Romeo to express how beautiful Juliet is. He thinks she's "hot". He forgets all about Rosaline and moves his attention to Juliet. He starts asking others for her name. This helps me understand that he has interest in her.]]> 2018-02-07 16:41:26 UTC https://padlet.com/aphillips18/df6r7dkordh/wish/229189885 https://padlet.com/aphillips18/df6r7dkordh/wish/229189891 The hyperbole  comparing juliet ( a daughter of the capulet family) to a torch explains how attractive romeo found Juliet. at this point romeo is " falling in love" with Juliet and out of love with rosaline.  he went from romantic love to true love at first site with Juliet]]> 2018-02-07 16:41:26 UTC https://padlet.com/aphillips18/df6r7dkordh/wish/229189891 https://padlet.com/aphillips18/df6r7dkordh/wish/229189925 He sees Juliet and says that he states that she "teaches the torches to burn bright" that he believes that she is hot and this shows that he trying to find romantic love not true love.]]> 2018-02-07 16:41:29 UTC https://padlet.com/aphillips18/df6r7dkordh/wish/229189925 https://padlet.com/aphillips18/df6r7dkordh/wish/229189931 2018-02-07 16:41:29 UTC https://padlet.com/aphillips18/df6r7dkordh/wish/229189931 https://padlet.com/aphillips18/df6r7dkordh/wish/229189981 Romeo sees Juliet at the party and instantly forgets about Rosaline.  He is astounded by her beauty and compares her beauty to a jewel and says "O, she doth teach the torches to burn bright!" This hyperbole means that the light of torches cannot compare to Juliet's light. Romeo is basically saying, "Who is that over there? She is beautiful and nothing can compare to her." 

To Romeo, it is as if Juliet is calling to him and is the only person at the party. Romeo is love-struck and instantly head-over-heels for Juliet. He knows that Juliet is the one for him and starts to walk over to Juliet and talk to her. ]]> 2018-02-07 16:41:33 UTC https://padlet.com/aphillips18/df6r7dkordh/wish/229189981 https://padlet.com/aphillips18/df6r7dkordh/wish/229190005 This hyperbole is showing us how Romeo felt about Juliet. He is comparing a torch to his heart saying that Juliet caused his torch to burn bright with her beauty. This helps me to understand more about Romeo's true feelings and how they compared to his of Rosaline.  I now realize that Romeo had romantic feelings towards Juliet by focusing on her beauty.

He uses the literal meaning of what a torch does, which is create heat and light, and applies it to her looks. He is starting to "fall in love" with Juliet and fall away from his love for Rosaline. If he is so easily swayed in his love for Rosaline, does this mean that his love may have been romantic instead of true?]]> 2018-02-07 16:41:44 UTC https://padlet.com/aphillips18/df6r7dkordh/wish/229190112 https://padlet.com/aphillips18/df6r7dkordh/wish/229190131 The meaning of the hyperbole, "O! She doth teach the torches to burn bright," said by Romeo is that he thinks Juliet is very beautiful. Romeo thinks Juliet is hot. Romeo also said, "It seems she hangs upon the cheek of night Like a rich jewel in an Ethiop's ear," He was comparing her beauty to the beauty of an Ethip's jewelry.

He is referring the beauty of Juliet to something that would make the torches shine bright, which means she's so beautiful, she could make a torch brighter. At this point Romeo is falling in love at first sight, despite not knowing anything about her or her family, which ultimately leads to their deaths. Because of this encounter with Juliet, Romeo forgets all about his hardships with Rosaline.]]> 2018-02-07 16:41:49 UTC https://padlet.com/aphillips18/df6r7dkordh/wish/229190172 https://padlet.com/aphillips18/df6r7dkordh/wish/229190247 When Romeo says the hyperbole  that Juliet 'teaches the torches to burn bright', he means that she is very beautiful.

In other words, this quote means that Juliet was so attractive that she lit the room up like no other torch ever could. This could indicate that Romeo's desire for his love, Rosaline could be fading away or never truly existed. In addition, the exaggeration in this hyperbole leads the reader to think about whether or whether not Romeo "falling in love" at first sight with Juliet is meaningful, genuine love or simply pointless infatuation.]]> 2018-02-07 16:41:58 UTC https://padlet.com/aphillips18/df6r7dkordh/wish/229190286 carleyquandt https://padlet.com/aphillips18/df6r7dkordh/wish/229190413 2018-02-07 16:42:08 UTC https://padlet.com/aphillips18/df6r7dkordh/wish/229190413 masondover https://padlet.com/aphillips18/df6r7dkordh/wish/229190420 2018-02-07 16:42:09 UTC https://padlet.com/aphillips18/df6r7dkordh/wish/229190420 https://padlet.com/aphillips18/df6r7dkordh/wish/229190538 When Romeo sees Juliet for the first time he thinks "wow......shes pretty hot" and forgets all about Rosaline.]]> 2018-02-07 16:42:20 UTC https://padlet.com/aphillips18/df6r7dkordh/wish/229190538 https://padlet.com/aphillips18/df6r7dkordh/wish/229190548 2018-02-07 16:42:21 UTC https://padlet.com/aphillips18/df6r7dkordh/wish/229190548 https://padlet.com/aphillips18/df6r7dkordh/wish/229190638 A hyperbole is an exaggerated statement or claim, so when he said she "teach the torches to burn bright" he is saying that he finds her very attractive.]]> 2018-02-07 16:42:31 UTC https://padlet.com/aphillips18/df6r7dkordh/wish/229190638 https://padlet.com/aphillips18/df6r7dkordh/wish/229190661 When Shakespeare shows when Romeo see's Juliet he uses the hyperbole "O, she doth teach the torches to burn bright!". He is saying that her beauty is so "hot" that she puts torches to shame. Romeo had snuck into the Capulet's feast, knowing that Rosaline was going and hoping to see her. Romeo had thought he was in love with Rosaline. But, whenever he sees Juliet he completely stops thinking of Rosaline and all his focus is on Juliet. This hyperbole means that he thinks that Juliet is beautiful, he even goes as far to compare her to a piece of jewelry  on an Ethiopian women.Once he sees Juliet he immediately thinks that he has fallen in love with her because of how beautiful she is.]]> 2018-02-07 16:42:33 UTC https://padlet.com/aphillips18/df6r7dkordh/wish/229190661 carleyquandt https://padlet.com/aphillips18/df6r7dkordh/wish/229190662 When Romeo sees Juliet for the first time he says "O, she doth teach the torches to burn bright!" by saying this I believe that he is saying Juliet is very beautiful.

This means that Romeo thinks that Juliet is hot, hot enough that the fire on a torch could in a way learn from Juliet. This shows a transition Romeo made from loving Rosaline to instantly falling in love with Juliet. ]]> 2018-02-07 16:42:46 UTC https://padlet.com/aphillips18/df6r7dkordh/wish/229190797 https://padlet.com/aphillips18/df6r7dkordh/wish/229190838 The hyperbole means that Romeo has just spotted Juliet and he believes that she is stunning. At this point in time the beauty of Juliet is helping him get over Rosaline. This helps me realize the fact Romeo is falling in love with another woman. Romeo went in search of Rosaline because he loved her, but when he says "O, she doth teach the torches to burn bright!" when talking about Juliet he shows affection to another woman.]]> 2018-02-07 16:42:48 UTC https://padlet.com/aphillips18/df6r7dkordh/wish/229190838 https://padlet.com/aphillips18/df6r7dkordh/wish/229190852 This hyperbole means that Romeo thinks that Juliet is gorgeous because he compares her beauty to the wonderful brightness of torches burning.

He could possibly be referring to his heart when he says "the torches", meaning her beauty brings out a strong love in his heart. At this moment, he is realizing that he no longer is sad about Rosaline and all of his love is for Juliet. This helps me understand that Romeo originally went to meet Rosaline, but as soon as he saw Juliet he realized he never truly loved anyone until he laid eyes on Juliet.]]> 2018-02-07 16:43:29 UTC https://padlet.com/aphillips18/df6r7dkordh/wish/229191415 https://padlet.com/aphillips18/df6r7dkordh/wish/229192195 What this hyperbole means is that when Romeo saw Juliet, he thought she was beautiful and kind of a "hottie". Even though Rosaline is quite beautiful, Romeo goes on saying how Juliet "doth teach the torches to burn bright!". This could mean that now Juliet fires Romeo's passion for her, even though they just met. Now at this point, Romeo has forgotten the thought of Rosaline and his sadness of her not loving him back, and now has found a new love.]]> 2018-02-07 16:44:40 UTC https://padlet.com/aphillips18/df6r7dkordh/wish/229192195 https://padlet.com/aphillips18/df6r7dkordh/wish/229194566 The Hyperbole "O, she doth teach the torches to burn bright!" means that Romeo sees Juliet(The torch) and thinks shes really beautiful(Burn Bright)".  The sight of Juliet allows Romeo to  get Rosaline of his mind. Romeo's love for Juliet shows that he is romantically in love.
