"But soft, what light through yonder window breaks? It is the east and Juliet is
the sun. Arise, fair sun, and kill the envious moon, who is already sick and pale
with grief that though, her maid art far more fair than she....The brightness of her
cheek would shame those stars. As daylight doth a lamp; her eye in heaven
would through the air region stream so bright that birds would sing and think it
were not night"
Play: Romeo and Juliet
Who: Romeo
Explanation: Romeo claims that Juliet is bright and compares her brightness to other
bright things, suggesting that she's so bright she outshines the brightest objects in the
universe. She is so bright, that she confuses the birds and makes them believe it is
daylight, so they sing. This contrast of night and day is reoccurring throughout the play
and this quote really just captures Romeo's love (or lust) for Juliet.
"O Romeo, Romeo, wherefore art thou Romeo? Deny thy father and refuse thy
name. Or if thou wilt not, be but sworn my love. And i'll no longer be a Capulet"
Play: Romeo and Juliet
Who: Juliet
Explanation: Juliet claims that Romeo must deny his family so that they can be together,
or she will deny her family's name so that they can be together. This quote emphasizes
Juliet's perspective on love, that love requires sacrifice and it must be proven and
"boundless" in order to be true. Her emotions toward love may come from the idea that
her family claims they love her, but never express it through their actions. She is
seeking a boundless bounty in Romeo that perhaps she did not receive from her
parents.
"O, then I see Queen Mab hath been with you ... She is a fairies' midwife, and she
comes in shape no bigger than an agate stone on the forefinger of an alderman,
drawn with a team of little atomi. Athwart men's noses as they lie asleep"
Play: Romeo and Juliet
Who: Mercutio
Explanation: Queen Mab (means slut) is the fairy who brings dreams (specifically
nightmares) to sleeping humans.The point of the quote is to explain that Queen Mab is
a fairy who brings dreams directly related to the person she brings them to and that
Mercutio sees dreams as destructive and delusional. Queen Mab whispers dreams in
the ears of men to dream of violence and whispers dreams to the ears of maids to lust
for sex and causes them to get pregnant. This quote captures Mercutio's perspective of
gender roles in Renaissance society - men are violent and women are lustful. It also
captures his perspective on sex, which he views as disgusting.
1) "From forth the fatal lions of these two foes. A pair of star-crossed lovers take
their life, Whose misadventured piteous overthrows. doth with their death bury
,their parents' strife.."
2) "O, I am fortune's fool!..."
3) "Then I defy you, stars..."
Play: Romeo and Juliet
Who: 1 - the chorus, 2 - Romeo after he kills Tybalt, 3 - Romeo after learning about
Juliet's death
Explanation: All of these quotes come together to reinforce the theme of "star-crossed"
lovers or fate in the play. The first quote by the chorus suggests that Romeo and Juliet
are destined for death because of their parents feud. The second quote shows that
Romeo sees himself as a subject to fate and the third shows that Romeo feels it is fate
which took Juliet's life, which is Ironic because he decides to take his own, which
causes Juliet to decide to take her own life, which then fulfills the prophecy of their
death.
"Alas, that love, whose view is muffled still. Should without eyes see pathways to
his will"
Play: Romeo and Juliet
Who: Romeo
Explanation: Romeo is expressing his love for Rosaline using cliche phrases like "love
will find a way" and "love is blind". We can take the way he describes his love for
Rosaline and compare it to the way he describes his love Juliet later in the play, which
is much more developed, complex, and unique. His change of love expression is
because he has more affection for Juliet then he did Rosaline.
"My only love sprung from my only hate, Too early seen unknown, and known too
late! Prodigious birth of love is it to me that I must love a loathed enemy"
Play: Romeo and Juliet
Who: Juliet
Explanation: Juliet speaks these lines after learning that Romeo is a Montague and
suggests that she saw him "too early" which is a major theme in the play because
everything moves too fast, the marriage, the suicide of Romeo, etc. which expresses
that love is a force which can move too fast.
"With love's light wings did I o'erperch these walls, For stony limits cannot hold
love out"
Play: Romeo and Juliet
Who: Romeo
Explanation: Romeo responds to Juliet with this quote after she asks him how he got
into the Capulet's walled garden. He suggests that love gives him "light wings" which
can climb over any "stony limits". This quote expresses that love can conquer anything.
However, we see that this is not what happens at the end of the story. Juliet is much
more realistic than Romeo, who is always trying to romanticize everything. Juliet asks a
serious question and is worried about his safety and yet again he replies with a romantic
response.
"My bounty is as boundless as the sea. My love as deep; the more I give to thee.
The more I have, for both are infinite"
,Play: Romeo and Juliet
Who: Juliet
Explanation: This quote shows that love is a means of freedom for Juliet, because it's
"boundless" and "infinite". Her expression of love is more sexual than Romeo's.
"I will push Montague's men from the wall and thrust his maids to the wall"
Play: Romeo and Juliet
Who: Samson
Explanation: Samson pairs sex with violence, which is a recurrent pair throughout the
play. On the same night Romeo and Juliet have sex to consummate their marriage, he
kills her cousin, Tybalt.
"Now art thou what thou art, by art as well as by nature. for this direvelling love is
like a great natural that runs lolling up and down to hide his bauble in a hole"
Play: Romeo and Juliet
Who: Mercutio
Explanation: Mercutio expresses that love is just sexual desire and that all of Romeo's
romantic longing is just "drivelling" and "lolling" brought on by sexual fustration. The
image of the fool trying to hide his bauble in a hole implies sexual intercourse.
"Come, gentle night, come, loving black-browed night, Give me my Romeo, and
when I shall die. Take him and cut him out in little stars"
Play: Romeo and Juliet
Who: Juliet
Explanation: Juliet is yearning for her wedding night with Romeo to have sex. The term
die in Elizbethean times was slang for orgasm. The terms cut and die also have violent
undertones, once again sex and violence are paired.
"My naked weapon is out. Quarrel, I will back thee"
Play: Romeo and Juliet
Who: Samson
Explanation: Samson opens the play claiming that he is a violent man.
"He rests his minim rests, one, two, and the third is your bosom; the very butcher
of a silk button, a duellist, a duellist"
Play: Romeo and Juliet
Who: Mercutio
Explanation: Mercutio is making fun of Tybalt's fighting style but there are some envious
tones in the way Tybalt expresses it.
"They have made worms' meat of me"
Play: Romeo and Juliet
Who: Mercutio
Explanation: Mercutio speaks these lines as he dies, continuing to make jokes even as
he is passing and speaks of his death in a very unromantic way.
"My child is yet a stranger in the world; She hath not seen the change of fourteen
years"
Play: Romeo and Juliet
Who: Capulet
Explanation: Capulet suggests that Juliet is too young to marry Paris because she's only
13.
, "Come Lammas Eve at night shall be fourteen. Susan and she. God rest all
christain souls. Were of an age"
Play: Romeo and Juliet
Who: Nurse
Explanation: The Nurse compares Susan, her deceased child, to Juliet, suggesting that
they are both close in age. She expresses her grief for the loss of her child, which
foreshadows the grief the Capulets will feel when they lose Juliet.
"So tedious is this day. As is the night before some festival. To an impatient child
that hath new robes and may not wear them"
Play: Romeo and Juliet
Who: Juliet
Explanation: Juliet expresses her impatience for her wedding night to the impatience of
a child, which reminds us that Juliet is practically a child herself. It captures Juliet's
impatience to grow up.
"from forth the fatal loins of these two foes. A pair of star-crossed lovers take
their life"
Play: Romeo and Juliet
Who: Prologue
Explanation: Expresses that Romeo and Juliet will die and that their tragic end is fated.
"I fear too early, for my mind misgives; some consequence, yet hanging in the
stars, shall bitterly begin"
Play: Romeo and Juliet
Who: Romeo
Explanation: Romeo has a bad feeling about going to the masque, where he will meet
Juliet, suggesting that he will arrive too early, which is a recurrent phrase in the play. All
the major events in the play happen too early which leads to their tragedy.
"the continuance of their parent' rage. Which but their children's end naught
could remove is now the two hours traffic of our stage"
Play: Romeo and Juliet
Who: Prologue
Explanation: Explains the events that will take place in the play
"If I profane with my unworthiest hand. This holy shrine, the gentle sin is this: My
lips, two blushing pilgrims, read stand. To smooth that rough touch with a tender
kiss"
Play: Romeo and Juliet
Who: Romeo
Explanation: When Juliet and Romeo first meet, Romeo speaks to her much more
poetically than he did Rosaline.
"What, drawn, and talk of peace? I hate the word. As I hate hell, all Montague's,
and thee. Have at thee, coward!"
Play: Romeo and Juliet
Who: Tybalt
Explanation: Tybalt suggests that he hate the word peace, capturing the violent society
they live in.
