Romeo And Juliet Monologue
“In all the world, there is no heart for me like yours. In all the world, there is no love for you like mine.” Once a person is mature and old enough they could experience real love. Romeo was awed by beauty and his want for love, however some people argue that he really truly loves Juliet. Young people are too immature and inexperienced to know what real love is. At the end of Act I Scene I Benvolio tells Romeo he needs to forget about this girl, Rosaline, that he is in love with, and Benvolio is willing to show him how to forget her. “I’ll show you how to forget, or else I’ll die owing you that lesson.” At the beginning of my freshman year, I saw a boy and thought it was love at first sight. It turns out I was only attracted

    Do you ever feel like someone is watching you when you walk past a mirror? That's because we are always watching you. I've been hanging on the wall at the Capulet house for more than 15 years. In those years, I watched our young Juliet grow up into a fine woman, several servants come and go, and so many interested parties take place in this home like the one last night. I've seen enemies enter, revenge be sworn, and a forbidden love blossom.…

    When Nurse tells Juliet who Romeo is, Juliet says, "My only love sprung from my only hate! Too early seen unknown, and known too late! Prodigious birth of love it is to me that I must love a loathèd enemy" (61). When Romeo sees Juliet on the balcony later that night, or possibly the next morning, he says, "It is my lady. O, it is my love" (69). In real life, two mature people don't know for sure that they've fallen in love after talking for just a few minutes. Their immaturity is shown in these quotes because they think they are in love before they have spent any time together. Perhaps Romeo thinks he loves Juliet because she is the first girl he has approached who seems to like him back. Maybe he just likes her because of her beauty. Either way, if he were mature, he would not think he felt love for her so soon after first laying his eyes upon her. Juliet could think she loves Romeo because she is so used to being kept in her house and has not been exposed to many young men. This most likely causes her to think, since he could be the first boy who has directly flirted with her, that she loves him. Juliet is very immature in suggesting marriage to Romeo, not only because she is a girl, but also because she hasn't introduced him to her parents and because she doesn't know…

    Both the Capulet family and the Montague family are fools. They think all this fighting will achieve something? Well I hope Christ is looking upon them, for their sake. Now all this fighting has led to the death of a child from each of their families. Romeo and Juliet are dead because of this ludicrous feud, but I will pray for them none the less. I feel as though it is my fault, that I caused all of this, but they are still children of the Lord and it is my duty to look after all of them. I will pray for Romeo and I will pray for Juliet all night in front of the Lord. What if I had told someone about the marriage and the plan to fake Juliet's death? Maybe they would still be with us.…

    Have you ever thought about how “Romeo and Juliet” would have ended if communication was effectively used throughout the whole play? The outcome of the play would have been significantly different, and most, if not all, of the characters would still be alive. Every major event that happens is because of a miscommunication or no communication at all. In fact, the whole play is based on miscommunication. The feud between the two families causes major problems and forms the whole plot of the play.…

    A foil character is a character whose function is to be compared or contrasted with the main protagonist. Moreover, a foil character is used to heighten and illuminate drastic differences or extreme similarities in the main character. Furthermore, this form of juxtaposition when contrasted inevitably underscores or enhances the distinctive characteristics or flaws of the protagonist. Consequently, within many movies, plays, and books there are always characters that influence the main character’s personality traits and qualities. These concepts of foil characters are prevalent within Romeo and Juliet, wherein they emphasize the protagonist’s hubris and persona and give a better understanding of the protagonist. In William Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet, a tragic play of two star-crossed lovers who kill themselves for each others love, Romeo’s hubris, his idealism and his personality are emphasized and distinguished by the foil characters: Friar Lawrence, Mercutio, and Tybalt.…

    Oh, I am so embarrassed. Earlier this night my one true love, Romeo, heard me confessing my love for him. I was asking myself why he had to have the name Montague and requested he change his name for me and forget about his father’s wishes. I never noticed how ridiculous this terrible feud is before! It makes no sense; Two intelligent families that cannot seem to solve a feud and no one even remembers what started the whole thing. Anyways, I truly feared for Romeo when he was up with me on my balcony, but I did not want him to leave! My dear relatives would murder him if they found out he was with me! Oh Romeo, why must you be a Montague? I was so frightened that he would think I was too effortless and he wanted me to play hard to get but…
