The word "star" appears frequently in Romeo and Juliet, in the same way as "moon" appears in A Midsummer Night's Dream and "blood" in Macbeth. Sometimes Shakespeare seems to have employed the image of stars as an image of beauty, and sometimes as an image of fate (due to their astrological connection). Use of the word in connection with fate include:
- "star-crossed lovers" in the prologue
- "some fearful consequence hanging in the stars" in 1,4
- "I defy you, stars!" in 5,1
- "The yoke of inauspicious stars" in 5,3
Use of the word in connection with beauty include:
- "Earth-treading stars that make dark heaven light" in 1,2
- "two of the fairest stars in all the heaven" in 2,2
- "Take him and cut him out in little stars" in 3,2
