What are some metaphors in Romeo and Juliet?

Answer 1

Romeo uses a lot of imagery of light against dark to describe Juliet. "Oh, she doth teach the torches to burn bright.", "What light through yonder window breaks? It is the East and Juliet is the sun", and "she hangs on the cheek of night like a rich jewel in an Ethiop's ear". Juliet does the same: "Thou wilt lie on the wings of night whiter than new snow upon a raven's back."

And there are stars everywhere. "Star-crossed lovers", "some consequence, now hanging in the stars", "take him and cut him out in little stars", and "two of the fairest stars in heaven having some business, do entreat her eyes to twinkle in their sphere till they return"

Answer 2

That is not even a complete question....so here is an incomplete answer. Stars and fate - prologue, foreshadowing and danger - Romeo senses problems ahead, anything relating to light and darkness or violence. That should be broad enough to get you started but offer nothing so complete as to give an answer. Try using a verb next time you want free help.

---woahh....jerk alert. your mean

it is a complete question, examples of imagery would be the contrast between light and dark and how romeo and juliets relationship only exists at night but he compares her to the sun etc

Wow, way to be a scumbag. They use religious imagrey to show how pure their love is for each other. (Romeo and Juliet show it)

Answer 3

"What light through yonder window breaks? It is the east and Juliet is the sun."
