Juliet dislikes the lark because its singing heralds the arrival of morning, signaling the need for Romeo to leave her and their intimate moments together. She wishes that night could persist so that they could remain together.
Nightingale and lark. They are both songbirds in Romeo and Juliet.
The morning (A Lark is a bird typically heard calling in the morning); after Romeo and Juliet's wedding night.
The lark sings in the morning and the nightingale sings, appropriately, at night. So... lark= It's the daytime. Gotta get out of bed. Off to Mantua! nightingale= It's still night. We have lots of time. Let's keep doing whatever it was we were doing between scene four and scene five!
The identity of the bird in "Romeo and Juliet" matters because it is used symbolically to signal the approaching daybreak and the separation of Romeo and Juliet. The lark's song marks the end of their night together and serves as a reminder of the challenges their love faces. The contrast between the lark's song and the nightingale's song also highlights the conflict between light and darkness, hope and despair in the play.
Either the Lark or the Nightingdale, not sure which.
Juliet claims that Romeo hears the morning lark singing when she wants to convince him that it is not yet dawn and he does not need to leave.
The nightingale sings at night; the lark sings at daybreak. If what Romeo and Juliet are hearing is the nightingale, it's ok, they can canoodle a bit longer. If it's the lark, Romeo had better get out of there because if the law catches him he's dead.
The idea expressed in Juliet's "that which we call a rose by any other name would smell as sweet" is that the name we give things cannot change the reality. Waking after their wedding night (In Act III Scene v), they hear a bird singing. Is it a lark, a morning bird, or a nightingale, a night bird? If it is the lark, it is time for romeo to get up and go to Mantua. They try to pretend that it is the nightingale, but Juliet says "it is the lark that sings so out of tune" Unfortunately, a lark by any other name is still a lark.
The lark sings in the morning and so is a symbol of morning. The nightingale sings at night and is therefore a symbol of night. The lovers wish that it were still night so they did not have to part, so the nightingale represents wishful thinking. It actually is morning, however, so the lark represents cold reality.
the nightingale represents the dawn, meaning Romeo can stay.
The nightingale, a bird that sings in the night and the lark, a bird that sings in the morning.
She tells him that the bird they hear is not a lark (a morning bird) but rather a nightingale (a night bird).
