English Literature Romeo and Juliet week beginning 23/9/19
Read this scene from Act 1, scene 1 of Romeo and Juliet and
then answer the question which follows.
At this point in the play, Romeo is feeling sad that he has
been rejected by Rosaline.
BENVOLIO
Good morrow,
cousin.
|
|||||||||
ROMEO
Is the day so
young?
|
|||||||||
BENVOLIO
But new struck
nine.
|
|||||||||
ROMEO
Ay me! Sad hours seem long.
Was that my
father that went hence so fast?
|
|||||||||
BENVOLIO
It was. What
sadness lengthens Romeo’s hours?
|
|||||||||
ROMEO
Not having that
which, having, makes them short.
|
|||||||||
BENVOLIO
155In love?
|
|||||||||
ROMEO
Out.
|
|||||||||
BENVOLIO
Of love?
|
|||||||||
ROMEO
Out of her favor,
where I am in love.
|
|||||||||
BENVOLIO
Alas, that love,
so gentle in his view,
160Should be so tyrannous and rough in proof!
|
|||||||||
ROMEO
Alas, that love,
whose view is muffled still,
Should, without
eyes, see pathways to his will!
Where shall we
dine?—O me! What
fray was here?
Yet tell me not,
for I have heard it all.
Here’s much to do with hate but more with love.
Why then, O brawling love, O loving
hate,
O anything of
nothing first created!
O 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!
This love feel I,
that feel no love in this.
Dost thou not
laugh?

Starting with this conversation, explain how far you think Shakespeare
presents Romeo as loyal.
Write about:
·
How Shakespeare presents Romeo in this extract
·
How Shakespeare presents Romeo in the play as whole
SCROLL DOWN FOR SOME FURTHER HELP...
You may wish to consider the following points or add points of
your own:
How is Romeo portrayed? (Impulsive? Rash? Immature?
Naïve? Loving?)
Is Romeo really depressed about being rejected by Rosaline or is he playing the role of the Petrarchan lover which had become a bit of a cliché during the time Shakespeare was writing?
How does Romeo’s infatuation with Rosaline foreshadow events later in the play?
What do the oxymorons in this passage suggest about Romeo’s attitude to love?
Is Romeo portrayed in the same way throughout the rest of the play or does he change?
Possible scenes to look at: Act 1, scene 4 (Romeo’s interactions with Mercutio); Act 1, scene 5 (when Romeo falls in love with Juliet at first sight); Act 2, scene 2 (The balcony scene); Act 3, scene 1 (when Romeo kills Tybalt); Act 3, scene 5 (when Romeo spends a final night with Juliet); Act 5, scene 3 (Romeo’s death)
Does he really love Juliet? – “Juliet is the sun” – however, could it also be said that he is idealising her and worshipping her instead of loving her as a fellow human being? Is he rash/impulsive? – he asks her to marry him – he rushes things. Does this lead to his death?

Possible quotations to use:
O
she doth teach the torches to burn bright.
It seems she hangs upon the cheek of night
As a rich jewel in an Ethiope’s ear. (I.v.)
But
soft, what light through yonder window breaks?
It is the east, and Juliet is the sun. (II.ii.)
With
love’s light wings did I o’erperch these walls,
For stony limits cannot hold love out. (II.ii.)
O
sweet Juliet
Thy beauty hath made me effeminate
And in my temper softened valor’s steel! (III.i.)
