The brightness of her cheek would shame those stars As daylight doth a lamp; her eye in heaven Would through the airy region stream so bright That birds would sing and think it were not night. Romeo speaks these lines in the so-called balcony scene‚ when‚ hiding in the Capulet orchard after the feast‚ he sees Juliet leaning out

Romeo & Juliet by Tom Green The scene in which I was to pick from the play Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare is the fight near the middle of the play between Tybalt‚ Mercutio and Romeo. What happens is Romeo along with his cousin and his friend Benvolio and Mercutio go off gallivanting to a party hosted by the Capulet family who are the rivals of the Montague family (Romeo’s family).

dialogue between Juliet and Capulet‚ it displays the typical patriarchal relationship between a household during the Elizabethan era. Capulet demonstrated his authority over Juliet through his influential personality by making Juliet seem like a possession rather than a human. This can be seen when Capulet calls Juliet a “green-faced carrion” and “baggage”. This dehumanizes Juliet to objects‚ reinforcing Capulet’s depiction of a tyrant. It intensifies his need for overpowering Juliet‚ using expletives

Romeo and Juliet In my opinion‚ the superior film was the older version of Romeo and Juliet. I think the older version was better than the newer one because it fit the setting of the book more.

A supreme example of this theme‚ could be Friar Lawrence’s opening lines‚ “The gray-eyed morn smiles on the frowning night‚ / Check’ring the eastern clouds with streaks of light; / And flecked darkness like a drunkard reels / From forth day’s path and Titan’s burning wheels.” (II.iii.1-4) Throughout Act I and Act II‚ Shakespeare juxtaposes the characters of Romeo and Juliet to develop the theme of the paradoxical nature of life
