Romeo and Juliet Quotes
Romeo Quote

Ay me, sad hours seem long. O heavy lightness, serious vanity. A choking gall, and a preserving sweet. I have a soul of lead. Too rude, too boisterous, and it pricks like a thorn.

I fear… some consequence yet hanging in the stars, some vile forfeit of untimely death. Oh she doth teach the torches to burn bright! So shows a snowy dove trooping with crows. Her vestal livery is but sick and green. O that I were a glove upon that hand, that I might touch that cheek! Had I it written, I would tear the word. Look thou but sweet, and I am proof against their enmity. Too flattering sweet to be substantial. Well my pump is well flowered. Nay, good goose, bite not. The love-­‐devouring Death do what he dare, it is enough I may but call her mine. Villain am I none; therefore farewell, I see thou knowest me not. This day… begins the woe that others must end. O, I am fortune’s fool. Ha, banishment? Be merciful, say ‘death’! And fall upon the ground as I do now, taking the measure of an unmade grave In what vile part of this anatomy doth my name lodge? … hateful mansion. More

    After living in captivity under the heathen-folks for about a year or less, mine own eyes are completely drawn to her on the scaffold holding a small babe. My eyes were snatched by the infant only by the scarlet letter burning my once dearest wife’s bosom. It was as if the deep burning red of the letter set off a fiery passion of anger pulsing through my own body from her unfaithfulness. My heart feels as if it hath been ripped from my own chest and tossed on the ground unwanted. My body is fuming with jealousy!…

    In William Shakespeare’s play Romeo and Juliet, Juliet is one of the only characters who takes time to think over her decisions. In addition to this, she sticks to the choices she makes despite anyone else’s input. This is shown through Juliet’s thoughts when her mother speaks ill of her one true love, Romeo. When her mother regards Romeo as a “villain” for murdering Juliet’s cousin, Juliet says “Villain and he be many miles asunder. - God pardon him! I do, with all my heart” (3.5.85-86). In this quote, Juliet is expressing how she forgives Romeo for what he had done and that she does not think of him as a villain. Her saying this shows her fidelity and devotion to Romeo. Her lover for him is so strong that she is willing to forgive him for…

    Between Romeo and Juliet in the story Romeo & Juliet, Romeo is more compulsive than Juliet. For starters, Romeo falls in love way too easily. He says to his cousin Benvolio, “Out of favor, where I am in love” (1.1.178). This quote illustrates his compulsive feelings of ‘love’ for a girl who has no interest in him whatsoever. Following his rejection of Rosaline, Romeo is extremely quick to act on his emotions. Montague, Romeo’s father, states that Romeo “Shuts up his windows, locks fair daylight out, And makes himself an artificial night” (1.1. 146-7). This passage shows you how quickly he changed after getting rejected once and how it didn’t go unnoticed by the people around him. Finally, Romeo falls in love with eyes and character…

    Elizabeth Gilbert, an author once stated "Your emotions are the slaves to your thoughts, and you are the slave to your emotions. Elizabeth Gilbert. This quote speaks a message about life, how a person’s emotions have complete control of your actions and vice versa.

    One of the reasons this excerpt from Shakespeare’s “Othello” stands above the rest is that within these lines, Shakespeare inadvertently, or perhaps not, draws the blueprint for the great archetypal schemers that can still be found in all forms of media and art today. The antagonists monologue declaring what they will do has even reached the point of cliche as evidenced in Disney’s The Incredibles, when Frozone jokes, “He starts monologuing! He starts like, this prepared speech about how *feeble* I am compared to him, how *inevitable* my defeat is, how *the world* *will soon* *be his*, yadda yadda yadda.” (imdb.com)…

    I am merely a pawn, a pawn in a game that has spiralled out of control, a game of life and death. My innocence surrendered to the ceaseless events, my sleep masked with tortured dreams like the shadows that cover the night sky. With the blanket of darkness, my tongue mutters for itself when I say the guilt of a man's blood is leached within the creases of my fold. I wash, I scrub, I tear at the flesh on my hands, desperate to cleanse myself of the blood spilled in the wake of murder. But the filthy witness remains, stained, never to be removed.(Use a scrubbing motion) “Out damned spot! Out I say.” Encased in my own conscience I stand unable to escape , unable to endure it alone while it tears my seam to seam from inside out. Can these hands ever be scrubbed off the guilt, while they are covered in the blood, still warm, of sleeping innocents? It was with these very hands I held the dagger that tore life to shreds, daggers which reap their revenge. How am I to stop this guilt, the foul opposite of holy innocence? My hands are defiled with blood, fingers with sin,lips with lies, as by man shall my blood be shed. A creature, a sinner like myself, has no right to love, I am an object of disgust, of loathing. A creature as such has no right to be loved and must cease to burden other’s lives with her presence. If I were to die…
