Love vs Hate
Act 1
Simile:
Act 1 Scene 5 is "It seems she hangs upon the cheek of night like a rich jewel in an Ethiop's ear" -Romeo (lines 45-46).
Pun:
"Prick love for pricking, and you beat love down" (1.4.28).
Assonance:
"For men so old as we to keep the peace."
- (Act I/Scene 2/Line 3)
Alliteration:
“From forth the fatal loins of these two foes; A pair of star-cross’d lovers take their life.” (From the prologue to Act 1. This is an example of alliteration with the “f” and “l.”)
Hyperbole:
"If I profane with my unworthiest hand this holy shrine, the gentle sin is this: My lips, two blushing pilgrims, ready stand to smooth that rough touch with a tender kiss."
Act 2:
Personification:
"Will you pluck my sword out of its pilcher by the ears?" -Mercutio (III, i)
Simile:
"O, speak again, bright angel! For thou art as glorious to this night, being o'er my head as is a winged messenger of heaven." Scene 2 act 2
Metaphors:
“It is the East, and Juliet is the sun!"
Pun:
Thy wit is a very bitter sweeting; it is a most sharp sauce. - act 2 scene 4 line 80
Allusion:
"Dido a dowdy, Cleopatra a gypsy, Helen and Hero hildings and harlots, Thisbe a grey eye or so, but not to the purpose."
(Act II, scene IV)
Act 3:
Metaphor:
Give me my Romeo; and, when I shall die,
Take him and cut him out in little stars,
And he will make the face of heaven so fine
That all the world will be in love with night
And pay no worship to the garish sun. (3.2.21-25)
Alliteration:
“The day to cheer and night's dank dew to dry,” (Spoken by Friar Lawrence in Act 2 at the beginning of Scene 3. This example shows four repetitions of “d.”)
Dramatic irony:
"O God! I have an ill-divining soul/Methinks I see thee, now thou art below/As one dead in the bottom of a tomb." A.3 s.5
Simile:

"Is crimson in thy lips and in thy cheeks"
