Romeo and Juliet relationship analysis (act 2 scene 2 extract) by Alison Bowman https://padlet.com/abowman11/ylq5uvzuukl9 Analysis paragraph covering all AOs en-us 2017-06-30 11:07:49 UTC 2025-11-05 23:55:30 UTC hello@padlet.com Joanna Analytical Paragraph https://padlet.com/abowman11/ylq5uvzuukl9/wish/177822593 Shakespeare uses the relationship between Romeo and Juliet to show that their love can be infinite and everlasting, even in the midst of their familes feuding against each other. In this extract, "the more I give to you, the more I have, for both are infinite." This shows that even know they know that they should theoretically hate each other, the love they feel after one evening with each other, shows that it is true love. In Elizabethan times, the audience would have been extremely swayed by this, as it takes the story away from the conflict between the families, and the killing, where murder is sinful. As England was deeply Christian and religious at the time, they would have been thankful of anything to take away from the sins and the sinners, especially the opposite of hate - love. 

This can be seen elsewhere in the play, when Romeo describes Juliet as "the sun" in his solioquy. This shows that Romeo thinks of Juliet as a light amidst the darkness of the feud. Describing Juliet as the sun shows that he sees her as a light, which has spiritual connotations of Jesus, which also links to the religious aspect of the time. To compare Juliet to Jesus is comparing her to a god, which shows how much he is in awe of her and almost worships her. This shows their love as romantic and idealistic, which links to how Romeo acts in the rest of the play.]]> 2017-06-30 14:09:48 UTC https://padlet.com/abowman11/ylq5uvzuukl9/wish/177822593 Mya analysis https://padlet.com/abowman11/ylq5uvzuukl9/wish/177822597 In this extract we can see the relationship between Romeo and Juliet develope even further as they arranged to get married. In the extract we see Juliet use some sea imagery just describe her love for Romeo. She tells that her "bounty is as boundless as the sea" this quote could be used to represent how much she has to give Romeo. Her "bounty" being all that she has. This could mean love and affection or it could be her support and care. The fact that she uses the sea to compare to this gives the audience the image of a vast, open ocean and it reminds them of calmness and tranquility. In a way the comparison to the sea could be seen as foreshadowing since at the end of the play they both take their lives this could be represented by the idea of a stormy sea. She then saysher love for him is "as deep" as the sea. Obviously stating, the sea is very deep which show the serious emotions Juliet has already gained for Romeo. ]]> 2017-06-30 14:09:51 UTC https://padlet.com/abowman11/ylq5uvzuukl9/wish/177822597 https://padlet.com/abowman11/ylq5uvzuukl9/wish/177822608 2017-06-30 14:10:00 UTC https://padlet.com/abowman11/ylq5uvzuukl9/wish/177822608 Laura https://padlet.com/abowman11/ylq5uvzuukl9/wish/177822617 analysis. Romeo and Juliet's relationship. 

Shakespeare presents Romeo and Juliet's relationship as real. Romeo asks for 'the exchange of thy love's faithful vow for mine'. This implies he wants to marry her. The only way they can be together is if they get married. The audience could interpret this as they are wanting to get married too soon. As they are only 14 and 16 years old this links to context as people got married much younger than they do now. Both Romeo and Juliet are rebelling against their parents which shows the audience their rebellious and teenage tendencies. This is one way Romeo and Juliet's love is presented.]]> 2017-06-30 14:10:09 UTC https://padlet.com/abowman11/ylq5uvzuukl9/wish/177822617 Muirne analytical paragraph https://padlet.com/abowman11/ylq5uvzuukl9/wish/177822665 In 'Romeo and Juliet', Shakespeare presents the relationship between the young lovers as exciting and genuine, although Shakespeare has used their youth to emphasise the recklessness of the teens. 'Th' exchange of thy love's faithful vow for mine' shows Romeos rash thoughts are immature and different from the male procedures of courtly love, where a man often woos a woman from a far, writing poetry and and songs, this rash comment is used by Shakespeare to show his in ]]> 2017-06-30 14:10:37 UTC https://padlet.com/abowman11/ylq5uvzuukl9/wish/177822665 Charlie :-) https://padlet.com/abowman11/ylq5uvzuukl9/wish/177822688 Juliet describes her love for Romeo as "deep" as the sea. The adjective "deep" has connotations of sexual references. Juliet could be expressing how she wants to sexually arouse Romeo. This links contextually as women at the time were not known to as sexually demanding as men so Shakespeare may use the noun "deep" to show Juliet's desire of love from Romeo to the extreme.  Juliet describing her love for Romeo as deep as the sea has significance as the sea is very big and Juliet may be expressing how her love is ans big as the noun "sea".]]> 2017-06-30 14:10:55 UTC https://padlet.com/abowman11/ylq5uvzuukl9/wish/177822688 Loveday analytical paragraph https://padlet.com/abowman11/ylq5uvzuukl9/wish/177822699 In this extract Shakespeare presents the relationship between the two lovers as genuine and serious. "Thy love's faithful vow for mine" links to marriage and falsely foreshadows a long relationship. This contrasts other references to death. "Faithful" shows that Romeo wants her to be loyal and already wants their love to not seem like a childish or young romance, but serious love. "Deep" and "boundless" also suggest Juliets more adult feeling for Romeo.]]> 2017-06-30 14:11:04 UTC https://padlet.com/abowman11/ylq5uvzuukl9/wish/177822699 Sophia analytical paragraph https://padlet.com/abowman11/ylq5uvzuukl9/wish/177822700 In the extract Romeo asks for her "faithful vow" and she replies that she has already given him her vow before he even asked her. The adjective 'faithful' shows what their relationship means to him already as he wishes her to be 'faithful'; he wishes for the relationship to last a long time. Which further forshadows their later marriage. Juliet saying that she has already given her vows is telling the audiences that the feeling is mutual. She further emphasises this point by later announcing that her love is 'as deep as the sea', fortifying the love between the two in the eyes of the audience. Shakespeare's intention with this scene was to convince the audiences of the true love between them as after meeting at the party, the audience may have been sceptical. There is a lot of love in this scene.]]> 2017-06-30 14:11:05 UTC https://padlet.com/abowman11/ylq5uvzuukl9/wish/177822700 Jenna analytical paragraph https://padlet.com/abowman11/ylq5uvzuukl9/wish/177822702 Shakespeare's has presented the relationship between Romeo an de Juliet as forbidden however genuine and serious. ]]> 2017-06-30 14:11:06 UTC https://padlet.com/abowman11/ylq5uvzuukl9/wish/177822702 Marisa https://padlet.com/abowman11/ylq5uvzuukl9/wish/177822711 Shakespear presents Romeo and Juliets relationship as passionate. In this extract the relationships "satisfied" through the proposal of Romeo and Juliet. This implies that Romeos love for Juliet is "faithful". Shakespear uses a simile to show how close the two have come over only one night. "My bounty... as the sea". The adjective "Faithful" shows that he wants their relationship to last forever. ]]> 2017-06-30 14:11:12 UTC https://padlet.com/abowman11/ylq5uvzuukl9/wish/177822711 Lauren Rowe https://padlet.com/abowman11/ylq5uvzuukl9/wish/177822713 In this extract we see how closeRomeo and Juliet have become in one night. The simile "my bounty... as the sea"  demonstrates how much love Romeo and Juliet already share for one another. Romeo who was "unsatisifed" wanted to persue in this realtionship so proposed which contextuallly went against her fathers wishes. Fathers wanted to marry of their daughters for money and the family name but Juliet was going to marry for love which wasn't a stereotypical young lady in te Elizabethan times. Furthermore, unsatisfied has connotations of let down- like how he felt over Rosaline.]]> 2017-06-30 14:11:14 UTC https://padlet.com/abowman11/ylq5uvzuukl9/wish/177822713 Vicky-analytical paragraph https://padlet.com/abowman11/ylq5uvzuukl9/wish/177822717 In this extract Romeo and Juliet's relationship is shown as a very deep, passionate one. The simile "as boundless as the sea" represents how endless her love is for him as it is referred to as the "sea" which is seen as quite a scary but also quite serene place. Also the sea reference could be showing the two contrasting views on love, for example some people see it as quite a deep, scary place with negative connotations (when their love started the feud) and others may see it as a lovely serene place.]]> 2017-06-30 14:11:16 UTC https://padlet.com/abowman11/ylq5uvzuukl9/wish/177822717 Daisy https://padlet.com/abowman11/ylq5uvzuukl9/wish/177822733 This extract of Shakespere's famous play explores the relationship between Romeo and Juliet by using figurative language to portray their relationship as loving and passionate. For example, Shakespere uses similies to compare their romance to beautiful and vast things, such as the ocean in the quote, "my bounty is as boundless as the sea."]]> 2017-06-30 14:11:32 UTC https://padlet.com/abowman11/ylq5uvzuukl9/wish/177822733 Emma https://padlet.com/abowman11/ylq5uvzuukl9/wish/177822734 in this extract we see the proposal of Juliet to Romeo.

For some, the meeting of them in Act 1, Scene 5, is representative of "love at first sight" and a true love that's genuine, touching, powerful and dramatic - the kind of love that's makes us sympathise with them as it's the kind of love we'd all hope to attain one day. However, Shakespeare makes it clear that Juliet is "not fourteen" even and Romeo is only slightly older, causing some to see their belief in their love as not wise and unrealistic and the request of marriage even moreover reckless. By Shakespeare deliberately making her of this age, it indicates their relationship to be immature and unconvential, in the sense that, contextually, the man was chosen for the women but for Romeo and Juliet, Shakespeare presents their relationship as they are equal partners and by pitting it against the norm of the times, it makes it striking to the audience and presents it as unusual.]]> 2017-06-30 14:11:43 UTC https://padlet.com/abowman11/ylq5uvzuukl9/wish/177822751 Esme paragraph https://padlet.com/abowman11/ylq5uvzuukl9/wish/177822759 Shakespeare displays Romeo amd Juliet's relationship as a betrayal and tragedy. Contextually, the marriages were arranged back then, and the women had no opinion on who they married if they were wealthy enough. In this case, Juliet disobeys her Father, by saying she will not marry Paris. For the audience, this will be a memorable moment in the play, as it can foreshadow that something bad is going to happen as she has gone against the stereotypes in those times. ' I defy you stars!' Is a quote Romeo says because Juliet has died, this can suggest that he is feeling angry at the 'stars' meaning their parents. If it wasnt for their feuding they wouldn't have had to risk their lives to sneak off and see each other. This can portray that their relationship is very powerful as they will even go against their family's will to be with each other. ]]> 2017-06-30 14:11:56 UTC https://padlet.com/abowman11/ylq5uvzuukl9/wish/177822759 Evie https://padlet.com/abowman11/ylq5uvzuukl9/wish/177822774 Shakespeare presents the relationship of Romeo and Juliet  in this extract with their marriage arrangements. Shakespeares intentions with the proposal of these 'star-cross'd lovers' so soon after the couple first meet to exaggerate how how strong their love is. Historically at that time marriages were pre-arranged by the father of the daughter, therefore by Romeo and Juliet arranging there marriage without  their parents approval would juxtapose the normal during that time era. 'Juliet is the sun' shows how important is to Romeo as religon was very important at that time also.]]> 2017-06-30 14:12:16 UTC https://padlet.com/abowman11/ylq5uvzuukl9/wish/177822774 Sam https://padlet.com/abowman11/ylq5uvzuukl9/wish/177822795 In this extract Shakespeare presents Romeo and Juliet's relationship as deep true connection. He uses similies to describe Juliet's desire for Romeo such as "my bounty a
Is as boundless as the sea,, my love as deep" showing her devotion and how real the love feels to her. This declaration of love being linked to the sea reflects the dangers of the relationship.

Shakespeare makes this scene rushed and tense as they could get caught at anytime. As this is the only scene where they are actually alone Shakespeare makes it seem rushed to emphasise the trouble they could get in info they are caught. Juliet keeps coming in and out showing how juliet doesn'twant this to end, "will thou leave me so unsatisfied" shows how Romeo wishes it won't end either.

The quote "thy love's faithful vow" shows that the relationship has transitioned from a fling to something serious as they are now committing themselves to each other exclusively. Romeo asks Juliet if she will leave him "unsatisfied". This shows us that Romeo is requesting something sexual from Juliet which would go against the norm in Elizabethan England as sex before marriage was frowned upon. This shows that Romeo and Juliet are rebellious which we a.so see when they secretly get married, against their families wishes ]]> 2017-06-30 14:13:21 UTC https://padlet.com/abowman11/ylq5uvzuukl9/wish/177822839 Luca analytical paragraph https://padlet.com/abowman11/ylq5uvzuukl9/wish/177822846 In this extract Shakespeare is trying to represent Romeo and Juliets sexual and emotional relationship.

The simile "my bounty is as boundless as the sea" is suggesting that their love is everlasting and endless, just like the sea. The ocean is a powerful and dominating feature of the Earth and the fact their love is being related to the sea shows that it's uncontrollable and has the power to bring harm as well as happiness. This could foreshawdow that they had happy times however the end result is tragic.

The relationship shows between Romeo andJuliet  as there love is more "satisfied" as the extract develops. Shakespeare uses this scene and has written this way to confirm the love of the two. It is a key moment in the play where fate may be changed as the two have secretly confessed thier love without parental consent and with the "ancient grudge" the audience can see that fate is forced to change into the tragedy the play is popularly known as. 

The love is confirmed by Juliet  as she confesses to Romeo that her "love is deep".  We can tell throughout the play before this point that Juliet has been hesitant. For example Shakespeare's sonnet between the two. "You kiss by the book" shows juliets hesistant nature towards romeo. For Juliet to show this affection is shocking to the audience. And almost unexpected in such an expected plot blamed on the prologue "star-crossed lovers" in an "ancient grudge".
