Oxymoron
It seems she hangs upon the
cheek of night as a rich jewel
in an Ethiop’s ear
Simile
WHAT IS THIS QUOTE AN EXAMPLE OF?
Marry, that ‘marry’ is the very
theme I came to talk of. Tell
me, daughter Juliet, How
stands your disposition to be
married?
Pun
WHAT IS THIS QUOTE AN EXAMPLE OF?
Sampson: Is the law on our
side if I say ay?
Aside
WHAT IS THIS QUOTE AN EXAMPLE OF?
But, soft! What light through
yonder window breaks? It is
the east, and Juliet is the
sun.
Metaphor
WHAT IS THIS QUOTE AN EXAMPLE OF?
I fear, too early: for my mind
misgives some
consequences yet hanging in
the stars shall bitterly begin
his fearful date with this
night’s revels and expire the
term of a despised life
closed in my breast by some
vile forfeit of untimely death.
Foreshadowing
WHAT IS THIS QUOTE AN EXAMPLE OF?
'Tybalt is dead, and Romeo-banishèd!' That 'banishèd,' that
one word 'banishèd,' Hath slain
ten thousand Tybalts. Tybalt's
death Was woe enough, if it
had ended there; Or, if sour
woe delights in fellowship And
needly will be ranked with other
griefs, Why followèd not, when
she said 'Tybalt's dead,' Thy
father, or thy mother, nay, or
both, Which modern
lamentation might have
moved?
Monologue
WHAT IS THIS QUOTE AN EXAMPLE OF?
O, she doth teach the torches to burn
bright!
It seems she hangs upon the cheek of
night
Like a rich jewel in an Ethiope’s ear;
Beauty too rich for use, for earth too
dear!
So shows a snowy dove trooping with
crows,
As yonder lady o’er her fellows shows.
The measure done, I’ll watch her place of
stand,
And, touching hers, make blessed my
rude hand.
Did my heart love till now? forswear it,
sight!
For I ne’er saw true beauty till this night.
Soliloquy
WHAT IS THIS QUOTE AN EXAMPLE OF?
Beautiful tyrant! Fiend
angelical! Dove-feather’d
raven! Wolfish-ravening
lamb! Despised substance of
divinest show! Just opposite
to what thou justly seems’t.
Oxymoron
WHAT IS THIS AN EXAMPLE OF?
O son, the night before thy
wedding day Hath Death lain
with thy wife. There she lies,
flower as she was,
deflowered by him. Death is
my son-in-law, Death is my
heir; my daughter he hath
wedded. I will die and leave
him all.
Personification
“Well, thou hast comforted
me marvelous much.”
– Juliet
Verbal Irony
“Shall I hear more, or shall I
speak at this?”
Romeo
Aside
“’Tis but thy name that is my
enemy. Thou art thyself, though
not a Montague. What’s
Montague? It is nor hand nor
foot,
Nor arm, nor face. O, be some
other name belonging to a man.
What’s in a name? That which
we call a rose by any other word
would smell as sweet.”
-Juliet
Monologue
“…my mind misgives / Some
consequences yet hanging in
the stars / Shall bitterly
begin his fearful date / With
this night’s revels and expire
the term / Of a despised life
closed in my breast / By
some vile forfeit of untimely
death.”
-Romeo
Foreshadowing
But soft! What light through
yonder window breaks?
Personification
Patience perforce with wilful
choler meeting
Makes my flesh tremble in
their different greeting.
I will withdraw: but this
intrusion shall
Now seeming sweet convert
to bitter gall.
Tybalt
Foreshadowing
…ask for
me to-morrow, and you shall
find me a grave man.
Mercutio
Pun
O God, I have an ill-divining
soul!
Methinks I see thee, now
thou art below,
As one dead in the bottom of
a tomb:
Either my eyesight fails, or
thou look'st pale.
Juliet
Foreshadowing
Indeed, I never shall be
satisfied
With Romeo, till I behold him-dead-Is my poor heart for a
kinsman vex'd.
Juliet
Verbal Irony
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!
Juliet
Dramatic Irony
Read o'er the volume of young
Paris' face, And find delight writ
there with beauty's pen;
Examine every married
lineament, And see how one
another lends content And what
obscured in this fair volume lies
Find written in the margent of
his eyes. This precious book of
love, this unbound lover, To
beautify him, only lacks a cover
-Lady Capulet
Imagery
Ay, sir; but she will none, she
gives you thanks.
I would the fool were married
to her grave!
Lady Capulet
Foreshadowing
PARIS: Do not deny to him
that you love me.
JULIET: I will confess to you
that I love him.
