Unknown Story
Storyboard Text
- Metaphor - Love
- Love is a smoke made with the fume of sighs. Being purged, a fire sparkling in lover's eye.
- Soliloquy - Balcony Scene
- My dearest Juliet!
- Romeo, oh Romeo!
- Pun - Gregory and Sampson
- No, for then we should be collier
- Gregory, on my word we'll not carry coals
- Act 1, Scene 1, Lines 197-198Romeo compares love to smoking without using "like" or "as." This shows what Romeo thinks of love [that it can both fog and choke us up like smoke or put a sparkle in our eyes] and really ties into the storyline because the story is about finding love.
- Dramatic Irony - Romeo and Benvolio
- Your lady's love against some other maid Tat I will show you shining at this feast
- Act ll, Scene ll, Lines 2-26Romeo expresses his love for Juliet under her Balcony.
- Simile - Tough Love
- If love be rough with you, be rough with love.
- Act 1, Scene 1, Lines 1-4This is a comment by Gregory and Sampson that if they were given a task such as shoveling coal, it would be a sign of disrespect
- Oxymoron - Romeo's Conflict With Love
- Why then,  O brawling love, O loving hate, O anything of nothing first create! Oh, heavy lightness, serious vanity, Misshapen chaos of well-seeming forms, Feather of lead, bright smoke, cold fire, sick health, Still-waking sleep, that is not what it is
- Act 1 Scene 3: From lines 101-108Benvolio says that Romeo will probably fall in love again with a different woman, but Romeo doesn't believe so.
- I'll go along, no such sight to be shown, But to rejoice in splendor of mine own
- Act 1, Scene 4, Line 25Romeo is saying that from his point of view, love is harsh and harmful and that it emotionally hurts and punctures emotions/feelings just like a thorn pricks human skin.
- Is love a tender thing? It is too rough, Too rude, too boisterous, and it pricks like thorn.
- Act 1, Scene 1, Lines 176-186The conflicting descriptions match Romeo’s own conflicting emotions about love, about the strife in the community.
