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.

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.

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  
not finished 

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.

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.

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.

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. 

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.

Body paragraph:

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.

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.
