Romeo and Paris have not only things in common, there are also differences between the two. Romeo changes his mind fast, that’s easily seen when Romeo is one day totally in love with Rosaline but the next day, actually the same night he is totally in love with Juliet. Paris on the other hand is constantly in love with Juliet, and doesn’t give up on her. Paris is also decent, he asks Lord Capulet polite if he can marry his loved-daughter. Romeo didn’t share his feelings for Juliet to anyone but Juliet and Friar Lawrence, the fact that he had contact with Juliet was only known by Romeo and his friends, Juliet the Nurse and Friar Lawrence.

Bob sanders 11 February 2011 Light and Dark Imagery In the story of Romeo and Juliet, by William Shakespeare, Romeo and Juliet are from rivaling families the Montague and the Capulets. When Romeo crashes a Capulet party he finds a girl named Juliet and they fall in love with each other. As the story progresses, Shakespeare alludes to the symbolism of light and dark creating metaphors and similes to show imagery for the reader When Romeo meets Juliet at the party he gets butterflies in his stomach, but after the party it is the complete opposite. When Lady Montague is looking for her son Romeo she asks Mr. Montague and he replies, “ ‘Away from the light steals home my heavy son, And private in his chamber pens himself, Shuts up his windows, locks far daylight out ( Shakespeare.1.i.145-147).’ ” This is an example of a quote using light and dark imagery. Happiness can be depicted out, and so can sadness.
Romeo and Juliet- Act 1 Scene 5 In Act 1 Scene 5 we witness the first encounter between Romeo and Juliet, and Shakespeare makes the entire scene interesting for the audience in several ways. As the audience had already seen Romeo with his friends, we know that he had been quite against coming to the party that they were gate-crashing, saying how he was too miserable because of Rosaline’s reproach towards him, and that the love he Romeo felt for her was stopping him from being with his friends. The audience would also learn at this point that Rosaline was actually a member of the Capulet family, and this creates another layer of irony because we know that inevitably Romeo and Juliet will meet and fall in love, meaning Romeo would once again encounter difficulties at ‘loving’ someone from the same, opposing family. However, as we have seen how pathetic Romeo acted previously with Mercutio and Benvolio, we would expect him to still be in the same morose state, but instead it would be of great interest and amusement to the audience that in fact Romeo’s miserable demeanour suddenly changed the moment he spots Juliet- another beautiful girl- and he suddenly perks up, and begins to shower Juliet in flowery words of devotion. As surprising as this is for someone who was supposedly ‘love-sick’ over another girl, it is even more amusing because of how it had taken him a few seconds of seeing Juliet before he began announcing his admiration of her.
When Juliet responds with a yes, the Nurse says “Then hie you hence to Friar Lawrence’s cell” (II.iiiii.67). Meaning, hurry to Friar Lawrence’s cell so you can marry Romeo.
