My favorite lines are in ACT2, SCENE6, line16-20. Friar tries to describe her fragile beauty by the expression. I haven’t heard a phrase like this, but these lines give us an impression like that Juliet as a fairly and as light as a feather.
ReplyDeleteI think so too! It is a beautiful expression. The phrase doesn't exist in Japanese language, so everytime I see this kind of expressions I feel excited!
DeleteI totally agree with you, I loved this expression because it shows the perfection and how delicate Juliet is.
DeleteI'm sorry I forgot to write my favorite line out. My favorite line is this:
Delete"Here comes the lady. O, so light a foot Will ne'er wear out the everlasting flint."
In this kind of scenes is where we see the beauty and uniqueness of each character. Describing Juliet that way makes it impossible to compare her with any other of the fema in the play
Delete"Juliet as fairly and as light as a feather" it sounds nice. The fragility and also, I think, the tense of love may have been put in this scene. Love is business, circus, and all.
DeleteI like what you say. It reminds me of Juliet's youth, such a young girl must be as fragile as you describe.
DeleteI love the expression! Fragile things are beautiful,I think that is a mystery of love.
DeleteThe fact that Juliet is compared to a fragile object shows the sensitivity in which Shakespeare expresses himself and makes the audience feels what the Friar thinks of her
DeleteMy favorite part is in ACT1 SCENE2, line 54. "Beauty too rich for use, too dear for earth!" It would be too romantic if I was said by somebody, but I think that this phrase is very artistic to show the beautiful looking of Juliet.
ReplyDeletesaki, I liked the line you selected, they are very beautiful and they completely express Juliet's beauty. I also think it would be romantic if a man says that to a girl
DeleteI agree with your opinion. I think this phrase is too exaggerated to use in our daily life, and that's why the expression is accurate for Juliet, who has extraordinary beauty.
DeleteI totally agree with your opinion and this way we can see Juliet through Romeo's eyes, realizing her perfection when we look at her this way
DeleteI agree with you. It reminds me of a quote in Lauren Oliver's "Delirium" that says: "love will turn the whole world into something greater than itself".
Deletemy favorite part was in act two scene two line 36. I like it because I thunk it is a very important scene for the love story to start, it is like the climax because they decide to continue with their love story even if their families are against the love. So thanks to the dialog of Juliet the love story starts.
ReplyDeleteI agree. The phrase "O Romeo, Romeo, wherefore art thou Romeo?" is the most famous line in Japan. I think this Juliet's part express the feeling of Romeo and Juliet: the sadness and passion from being caught between their family and their own love.
DeleteAndres your view is so nice! I didn't notice that. I think it is a very beautiful start.
DeleteAndres, I think you are very accurate saying it is a way to begin the love story but I don't think that line is the climax of the story since they are just meeting and exploring the newfound love.
DeleteOne of my favorite parts is Act1 Scene5 lines from 124-131 and150-155 that moment in which Juliet and Romeo already had some words and are completely in love with each other and each one finds out that the other one is the "loins" of the enemy family and in that same moment they realize they don't wanna be far each other 💚
ReplyDeletepage16, line1,5,56. I chose this because it was what made an great impression to me since I started reading. Through all sentenses Romeo recite his poem, and it is all for his destiny, Juliet. The way to express his feelings is so amazing. Some day, I want to say such a romantic things... but it depends on the situations, which may gonna be marriage propose time if possible.
ReplyDeleteI hope you can find somebody to love

DeleteMy favorite line is in act 1, scene 5, line 119, when juliet says: "then have my lips the sin that they have took". I like it because it is if as sin was contagious, and by kissing they are both now tainted by it. I see love in a similar way, as something you infect others with, just like a disease. This is a critical point in the play because it is when they first fall in love, they catch the disease, and they carry it to the grave.

ReplyDeleteI was so impressed by the line. This line expresses the difficulty of love between romeo and juliet. If possible,I would like to do such a love. What a feeling of juliet for longing romeo! Difficulty makes their love hot and deep.
My favorite line was: "call me but love and I'll be new baptized; henceforth I never will be Romeo" I like the fact that Romeo is breaking his barrier with Juliet which is their family names (Montague and Capulet) and that being called love is enough for him since the only thing he cares about is having Juliet's heart.
