The celestial metaphor "sun" used to represent Juliet suggests that she is Romeo's light that guides him. However, because Romeo compares Juliet to the sun, it shows that he idealises her and has an unrealistic view in love which portrays the idea of naivety. Furthermore, the light of the sun could represent the innocence of Juliet and the goodness within her which fades as the novel progresses.

Being holy means Juliet is innocent as holiness implies that she has not sinned.]]> 2017-03-14 14:52:41 UTC https://padlet.com/sbradley10/iuau1qgjdohx/wish/160001146 Eloise https://padlet.com/sbradley10/iuau1qgjdohx/wish/160008063 Shakespeare presents a very free and spontaneous form of love, contrasting to the restricted and bound form of love required of young people of this era. This freedom causes Juliet to disregard any rules set out by society as she claims she could just " no longer be a capulet".
