Task: Analyse the relationship between Romeo and Juliet. Focus on language and stage directions!
introduction
The text is an extract from the play "Romeo and Juliet", Act II, Scene 2, by William Shakespeare from 1595. It is about a secret meeting between Romeo and Juliet. The relationship is complicated, as Romeo is very impulsive whereas Juliet is nervous and mindful.
main part
Romeo
- is in love with Juliet.
- uses metaphors like "she is the sun", saying how beautiful she is.
- in an aside he is asking the audience whether he should interrupt Juliet. This speaks to his insecurity on the one hand, as he is unsure how to proceed. On the other hand, he is very energetic and does not want to wait to talk to her.
- he is very impulsive, trying to convince Juliet that he loves her truly (after knowing her for not even one hour).
- is willing to lose his name for Juliet, symbollically abandoning his own family.
Juliet
- is in love with Romeo.
- is rather unsure if he truly loves her.
- asks him many questions to be sure.
- she appears on a balcony above Romeo. This highlights the distance that is between their love.
- she is more thoughtful and considerate, not as outgoing as Romeo.
conclusion
To sum it up, Romeo and Juliet want to love each other, but there is a distance between them. This is shown through their physical separation, as Juliet is far away on a balcony, and through their different set of minds. Whereas Romeo is very impulsive and uses many metaphors to describe his love, Juliet is rather careful and considerate.
