ad 1) Romeo about Rosaline ... p. 41–45
| What Romeo says about Rosaline/love | How he says it (language, images, rhyme,...) |
|---|---|
| Love
love makes him sad |
"griefs of mine own lie heavy in my breast"(15/177) |
| love is confusing/complicated | "a choking gall, and a preserving sweet"(15/185) - Contradicition |
| love makes sick | "...a sick man..."(15/193) |
| Rosaline
is beautiful("fair") |
"...and she's fair I love."(15/197) |
| doesn't return his feelings | "...she'll not be hit by cupid's arrow..." |
| has sworn to live chaste
--> wastes her beauty (Romeo) |
"...she will still live chaste?"
"She hath, and in that sparing makes huge waste"(17/209) |
| Romeo is totally obsessed with her, doesn't want to meet other "beauties" | "Farewell, thou canst not teach me to forget"(17/228) |
ad 1) Romeo about Juliet ...
| What does he say? | Stylistic device | examples |
| He describes her beauty (fairer than all others, stands for light, is not from this earth) | p.41 metaphor
exaggeration |
“Oh she doth teach the torches to burn bright“
“Beauty too rich for use, for earth too dear.” |
| Describes her beauty/says she is very eye-catching (perfect/valuable) | simile | “…As a rich jewel in a Ethiop’s ear.” |
| Compares her to other women | metaphor/comparison | “So shows a snowy dove trooping with crows.” |
| Compares her to something divine/holy | p. 43
metaphor |
“…This holy shrine…” |
| asks if he may touch her, wants to kiss her, | metaphor | “If I profane …”
“My lips, two blushing Pilgrims, ready stand…” |
| Calls her a saint (pure, perfect, innocent) | metaphor | “ dear saint …” |
| Tells her not to move when he tries to kiss her | Then move not while … |
ad 2) How convincing/realistic is Romeo's being in love?
| Thesis | Notes |
| Romeo is very confused | p. 15 L.188
“ tut I have lost myself I am not here… “ |
| Romeo is madly in love he thinks of Rosaline being the most beautiful woman in the world | p.23 L.92
“One fairer than my love! The all seeing sun never saw her match since first the world begun “ |
| Romeo changes his mind from one moment to the other
Rosaline was the only one now Juliet is his “jewel” and he wonders if he has really loved before |
p.41 L.45
“ it seems she hangs upon the cheek of night as a rich jewel in an Ethiop’s ear” p.41 L.51 “ did my heart love till now |
| Wants to touch and then kiss Juliet the first time he sees her – asks if he (sooo unworthy) may perhaps ….. | p.41 L.92
“ if I profane with my unworthiest hand…” |
| Romeo says she is a saint to show his love he exaggerates | p. 43 L.102
“ oh then dear saint let lips do what hands do“ |
Romeo changes his mind from being madly/eternally in love with Rosaline – the only perfect woman in history much too quickly to being in love with Juliet, who he praises in the same exaggerated way as saint, jewel, a dove compared to all the other crows (women around her).
ad 3) Benvolio's advice to Romeo
He
- tells him to forget her: "forget to think of her."[p17 216]
- should look at other women: "Examine other beauties."[p17 218]
- should compare her with other women. "...the fair Rosaline whom thou so loves, With all the admired beauties of Verona..."[p23 82-84]
- should not only see her alone but with other people around: "none else beeing by"[p23 94]
