Act 1, Scene 1

Romeo

-

Why, such is love’s transgression.

Griefs of mine own lie heavy in my breast,

Which thou wilt propagate, to have it pressed

With more of thine. This love that thou hast shown

Doth add more grief to too much of mine own.

Love is a smoke raised with the fume of sighs;

Being purged, a fire sparkling in lovers' eyes;

Being vexed, a sea nourished with loving tears.

What is it else? A madness most discreet,

A choking gall, and a preserving sweet.

Farewell, my coz.

-

This quote shows that Romeo in general falls in love and hurts very easily. He is in love with the concept of love and not with it truly until he meets juliet. You can also visit his death scene and see that he is a loving person because he still talks about how beautiful juliet is even though she is 'seemingly' dead.

Act , Scene

Juliet

-

Now, by Saint Peter’s Church and Peter too,

He shall not make me there a joyful bride.

I wonder at this haste, that I must wed

Ere he, that should be husband, comes to woo.

I pray you, tell my lord and father, madam,

I will not marry yet. And when I do, I swear

It shall be Romeo, whom you know I hate,

Rather than Paris. These are news indeed!

-

This shows that juliet is strong. She doesnt care that she has to marry paris and wishes to marry romeo instead even though shes a capulet... You may have to look further for the quotes on her turning against her father.... but if you go back to act 2, scene 2, you will find the convo between her and romeo when she is telling him to deny thy name..

METAPHOR

http://nfs.sparknotes.com/romeojuliet/page_66.html

Act 1, Scene 5

1. "My lips two blushing pilgrims ready stand.." is a great metaphor, because both Romeo and herself are using clever religious metaphors to show their feelings for each other. She is saying that her lips ARE two blushing pilgrims ready to sin in the act of kissing him.

--------

SIMILIE

1. Romeo compares Juliet to a jewel hanging from a Ethiops ear.

2. ''The brightness of her cheek would shame those stars, as daylight doth a lamp," is a simile, again, comparing Juliet, this time her face, to light.

---------------

PERSONIFICATION

1. ''Arise, fair sun, and kill the envious moon" is personification, alluding that the sun could kill or the moon could die, and that the moon could have the emotion of envy.

CONFLICT QUOTE

If you want a line that shows the conflict of the play... try the balcony scene Act 2, Scene 2, where Juliet tell Romeo to deny thy name, Try Mercutio's death scene Act 3, Scene 1 when he is say ' a plague o both your houses/ i am dying because of youre feud' or just try the big one ACT 5 SCENE 3... The prince specifically says ''Where be these enemies- Capulet, Montague, See what a scourge is laid upon your hate, That heavens finds means to kill your joys with love.''

What's in a name ? With every other title a rose would smell as candy. The reply of Romeo to the question of Juliet within the balcony scene. Why ? Considering the fact that it is the fact. With every other name, Juliet would be attractive and wonderful.
