1. The old desire is Rosaline.

2. Rosaline is not beautiful anymore because he has fallen in love with Juliet.

3. Romeo has been witched by the charms of looks.

4. Juliet’s opinions do not count so she is not allowed to go out anywhere she wants with Romeo.

5. Romeo’s and Juliet’s love is very powerful as when they first met  they rhymed each others words which shows how strong their connection is.

 

 

How does Shakespeare show the themes of love and hate in Act 1 Scene 5, through the language of the characters ?

Shakespeare show s the themes of love and hate by showing the hate that Tybalt has towards all Montagues when he spots Romeo in the party. ” A villain that is hither come in spite ” This shows how much Tybalt hates all Montagues. Another example of hate is ” It fits when such a villain is a guest ” In this scene Shakespeare also shows love through when Romeo and Juliet as they fall in love at first sight. ” My only love sprung from my only hate” Shakespeare uses antithesis to show love and hate in this quote. Another example of love is ” Then move not while my prayer’s effect I take”  Shakespeare uses Religious Imagery to show how Romeo worships Juliet like a goddess. Also Romeo’s and Juliet’s conversation is a Sonet as their 14 first lines rhyme each other to show their love at first sight.

Act1 Scene 1

In Act 1 Scene 1 Sampson and Gregory from the House of Capulet. Sampson  jokes about killing Montague men and raping Montague woman”Ay, the heads of the maids, or their maidenheads” Consequently Abraham and servant of House of Montague enter and the two group of servants see each other from the other side of the strret. Sampson provokes the Montagues as he bites his thumb at them. Benvolio enters and tries to to the fight from happening but Tybalt is very eager to fight and the fight happens anyways . Capulet and Montague enter and want to fight too but they are both stopped by their wives. After that the Prince enters and stood the fight and gives a speech about how the have disturbed the peace of the streets three times and next time they disturb the peace their lives would pay.

Naive-Juliet

Short-tempered-Lady Capulet

Thoughtful -Nurse

My first impression of Juliet is that she is still a innocent child and doesn’t have much experience of the real world.
