Where are there examples of imagery in Romeo and Juliet?

Answer 1

Imagery is using the senses to give a vivid description of what the author is trying to say.

An example would be in act 1 scene 1, line 80, "on pain of torture, from those bloody hands" would describe the penalty given for the disobedience of fighting on the streets, spoken by the Prince. Hope that helps.

Answer 2

One example of imagery in Romeo and Juliet is the use of light and darkness to symbolize the contrast between love and hate. Another example is the frequent references to nature and the stars to convey the characters' emotions and fate. Additionally, the recurring motif of poison and flowers serves to emphasize the themes of love and death in the play.

Answer 3

Everywhere. "What light through yonder window breaks" or "A rose by any other name would smell as sweet." leap to mind.

Answer 4

In the prologue, Romeo and Juliet are described as "star-crossed". The imagery of stars runs through the play in relation to Romeo and Juliet.

Answer 5

Everywhere. Start with the prologue if you like. "Where civil blood makes civil hands unclean."

Answer 6

"Look, love, what envious streaks do lace the severing clouds in yonder east. Night's candles are burnt out and jocund day stands tiptoe on the misty mountain tops."
