How does Shakespeare make Act 1 Scene 5 dramatically effective? Line 43 is a classic example of hyperbole. Romeo makes contrasting comparisons, showing how he feels about Juliet from the moment they see each other. “O she doth teach the torches to burn bright!” explains that in Romeo’s eyes Juliet’s beauty is responsible for all the light in the room. Additionally, Romeo effectively verbalizes “So shows a snowy dove trooping with crows” means Shakespeare wants the audience to know how beautiful Juliet is by using a metaphor.
When Romeo first sets sight Juliet he is stunned by the sight, the overwhelming feeling he experiences is made obvious by him when he sighs 'O', which shows the audience that he has an over flow of emotions and longs to be with Juliet. Romeo sees her as a delicate specimen of life 'beauty too rich for use, for earth too dear.' Juliet is seen to glow up the room with such charm that it is hard for Romeo to see, Shakespeare shows this instant impression of Juliet by using oxymoron's to show how she stands out : 'So shows a snowy dove trooping with crows '. Romeo see's Juliet as a superior being and that he is unworthy of her greatness 'make blessed my rude hand' and realizes he was gullible to think he knew what love was until that night 'Forswear it, sight!- For I
He continues this idea by using “wander” later in the line. The transferred epithet of “mean” conveys the hostile environment and makes us question the kind of people who live on the estate, suggesting they are perhaps cold, hateful and aggressive. The use of word choice immediately introduces the theme of purposelessness to the reader and creates a vivid portrayal of the scene. Despite the classical sonnet rhyming of the poem, it has been given an unconventional structure using enjambment throughout the octave, which modernises the poem overall and creates a stream of consciousness, engaging with the reader and ensuring the persona’s words appear genuine: “Play fortresses of brick and bric-a-brac spill out some ash” The plosive alliteration of “brick and bric-a-brac” creates a harsh and unwelcoming sound, signifying the worthlessness of everything on the estate and expressing society’s disgusted attitude towards the neglected area. “Ash” could connote the remains of the dead or of a crumbling building, insinuating decay and sorrow.
“My Last Duchess" and "To His Coy Mistress" shows the act of the men in these two poems. Both the characters in these two poems have a certain attitude towards women, which is that they both see women as objects but in different ways. Also they both can hurt anyone for their profit. Both the speakers of “My Last Duchess” and “To His Coy Mistress” use poetry to create an argument. The Duke in "My Last Duchess" is an arrogant, disrespectful man, who cares more about status and wealth than love.
big dog Mrs. tee World Lit. Honors 27, March 1912 The Tragic Flaw Romeo and Juliet is a tragic play of two star-crossed lovers written by William Shakespeare. Romeo and Juliet fall in love and hide their secret relationship from their feuding families. As the play progresses, Romeo starts to act on impulse and his action result in tragic consequences. When people act on impulse it leads to terrible endings and suffering to others.
These portray a sense of foreboding and uncertainty in cramped conditions. It seems as it the speaker’s mind is teeming with ideas and images that have been skillfully penned down in succession. The speaker appears to b an observer throughout the poem. He begins the poem with a striking antithesis of ‘dawn’ with ‘dun’. ‘Dawn’ which would generally symbolize a new beginning, is now only dark, dismal and cold.
These are demonstrated in the poem to highlight the intensity of writing as there is a form of self-reflection done by the persona and he overcomes this to find the right expression. Challenges are faced by the persona as he is unable to articulate the essence of the story. The poem starts off with a main subject of a sentence personified as a "lone traveller". This sentence is then seen as a solitary figure as it is not accompanied by other lines for which the persona has no idea how the story should unfold. The struggles of having a writers block can be suggested through the assaulting weather as the subject heads into a "blizzard at midnight".
Doomed Love The story of Romeo and Juliet is a true tragedy. The star-crossed lovers captivate you in their tale of betrayal and heartbreak. Their love is so strong that it makes you love them even more. Their love makes them forget everything and do anything to be together, even die. Romeo and Juliet’s love is doomed not only by the world around them but also by its intensity, because it leads them to death, to be completely blind and oblivious to their lives, and it caused them to move too quickly.
In this stanza he uses the words flame and name, which goes along with the irregular rhyme scheme that happens throughout the poem. In the last stanza, the speaker states “Don’t believe me, please if I say/ that was just my butterfingered way, at thirteen, of asking you if you would marry me.” This part of the poem would elicit skeptical emotions from the reader, as they would not know whether to believe if the speaker is legitimately remorseful. The poet also uses alliteration in that stanza when he says “marry me”, and from its demeanour, it evokes forgiveness from the reader because he wants to let the reader know that he was immature in expressing his love. The alliteration provides
Romeo and Juliet, and Sonnet 18, both written by William Shakespeare, however, they've got different declaration of love.

The persona of Sonnet 18 and Romeo compare their lovers to the sun, the moon, the star,etc. Of course, both of their lovers are the most beautiful, are the angel in their hearts. However, they value different means of love although their love maybe as much as each other.
