Use Of Metaphors In Romeo And Juliet

This passage was said by Lady Capulet in the third scene of the book. William Shakespeare uses a ton of metaphors throughout the book and this passage is no exception. Lady Capulet uses many examples to describe the scenario with a book of love to the unbound lover. This whole passage is told to Juliet in the book, the lady describes Paris’s beauty and charming looks and compares them with the natural world. She describes the side effects of love and tries her best to convince Juliet to love this handsome prince. She says the prince is admired and everyone thinks the looks good, Lady Capulet explains the joy of being admired and that Juliet would be amongst those borders if she got married to him. This specific passage is worded very poetically.
One can imagine Lady Capulet saying it with strict manners and real and genuine feelings to warn Juliet of the beauty of loving and marrying the prince. Using metaphors is a very strong way to fundamentally convince a person to do anything because giving relatable topics to your main point can make the listener understand more thus making him relate more often which brings more interest in a given subject. Lady Capulet does this in her speech to Juliet, but she doesn't seem to be convinced but says that she will try to like him.
