Romeo compares love to an injury, which Mercutio never experienced. The semantic field of pain (scar, wound) perhaps foreshadows the tragic ending.&nbsp;</span></p>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<p>'Arise, fair sun, and kill the envious moon, who is already sick and pale with grief.'&nbsp; (line 4-5)</p><p>This line in the opening paragraph talks of an 'envious moon' which could be a symbol of the goddess of hunting and virginity, Diana. </p><p>By describing Diana as 'sick and pale' he is really voicing his own opinion that virginity is unhealthy, and&nbsp;that Juliet&nbsp;should give up her virginity (possibly with Romeo). </p><p>'Arise fair sun' is a reference to Juliet, who in a previous line is described as&nbsp;'the sun',&nbsp;this may mean he thinks her beauty is radiant and&nbsp;also that Juliet is&nbsp;the centre of&nbsp;his universe,</p><p>although he only a few hours before pronounced his own undying love for Rosaline, which he seems to have forgotten about completely.</p>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<p>"Ay me" (line 24)<br>Meaning "Oh my", this short line from Juliet shows her conforming to the stereotype set by Mercutio earlier in the play as he mocks silly lovers who say "Ay me" and he calls Romeo a madman for loving someone who is this foolish. It also suggests that Mercutio doesn't think Juliet is a serious partner to Romeo as it may have been her that Mercutio was thinking about when he mocked lovers in the first place.</p>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<p>'And yet no farther than a wanton's bird, that lets it hop a little from his hand, like a poor prisoner in his twisted gyves,' (lines 177-179)</p><p>In this extract, Juliet compares herself to a 'wanton' meaning spoilt child. A spoilt child that is keeping a pet bird. The bird is an example of a metaphore, the bird symbolises Romeo. It is as if she is spoiling herself by keeping Romeo all to herself.  </p><p>A few lines on Juliet also says 'So loving -Jealous of his liberty' (line 181). This liberty that she talks about is Romeo's freedom. and the 'loving-jealous' is how she describes the way that she feels when Romeo embraces his freedom and leaves. She doesn't like it when he leaves, which is why she describes herself feeling this way.</p><p>This idea of Juliet missing him too much when he leaves her all ties back in to the idea of Juliet being the 'wanton' and Romeo being her  'bird'.  </p><p>Another metaphore is used in this extract when Juliet says 'poor prisoner'. This metaphore is used once again to symbolise Romeo and how his love for Juliet has almost trapped him, making him never want to leave his beloved Juliet.</p>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<p>Being in night, all this is but a dream,<span style="font-size: 13px;">Too flattering-sweet to be substantial. ( Lines 140-141)</span></p><p>This is a connotation that Romeo's life at the moment is dream like, it is perfect in a surreal way. The audience could interpret this as dramatic irony. They know that this 'dream' will merely last days and end horrifically.  There is foreboding that the good times could come to a sudden end.</p>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<p>'love goes toward love as schoolboys from their books, but love from love, toward school with heavy looks'</p><p>this is a metaphor for Romeos love towards Juliet. he feels the same emotions when he is with Juliet as a schoolboy does when leaving his books.   </p>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<p>(Lines 147-148) </p><p>When Juliet says this, it illustrates that despite being of a very young age, she intends to stay loyal and faithful to Romeo even if she does barely know him and she would be willing to give him everything. </p><p>When she refers to him as 'thee my Lord' the audience could infer that she sees him like a king and he has power over her. It could also imply that he's like a God to her, like she would worship. </p>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<p>"This bud of love, by summer's ripening breath,&nbsp;
<span style="font-size: 13px;">May prove a beauteous flower" (line 121-122)</span></p><p>This shows that Juliet feels that her relationship with
Romeo could turn from something that started off very
small into a beautiful big relationship. That effectively
their relationship could blossom, like a flower. The beauteous
part also shows she feels that not only could the relationship
get better that it may turn into something beautiful.</p><p>This quote also has a
sexual connotation of Juliet being ripened. This could mean
she could be getting ready to have children and being ready
to have children with Romeo.</p>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<p>'With love's light wings did I o'erperch these walls. For stony limits cannot hold love out, and what love can do, that dares love attempt: therefore thy kinsmen are no stop to me.' </p><p>Romeo is telling Juliet that love is enough to guide him to her and it transports him to where ever she might be, not even the castle walls could hold him back from seeing her. 'The power of love' </p>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[O swear not by the moon, th'inconstant moon, That monthly changes in her circled orb... (109-110)<br><br>Juliet says this when romeo swears by the moon. She is saying that he should not swear by the moon as it is ever changing and never stays true to one form she is compering his love to the moon saying that if his love is like the moon he will not be faithful and will change his mind and love ike the moon changes shape.<br>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<p>'Dost thou love me? I know thou wilt say 'ay' ; And I will take thy word ; yet if thou swear'st , Thou mayst prove false : at lovers' perjuries. They say Jove laughs. O gentle Romeo, If thou dost love, pronounce it faithfully' line 90-95</p><p>Juliet says this quote. She is questioning Romeos love to her, she asks her self, dost thou love me, this maybe because she is scared that he doesn't really love her and she maybe scared that her heart could get broken. She says , if thou dost love, pronounce it faithfully, witch basically means he wants him to say 'I love you'.</p>]]></description>
