scene 5,lines 19-20
Juliet talks about the "death-darting eye of cockatrice" in III ii 47. The cockatrice was a mythological beast similar to the basilisk, involving the tail of a snake and the body, wings and head of a chicken. Like a basilisk a cockatrice could kill with a look.
"Speak to my gossip Venus one fair word,/ One nick-name for her purblind son and heir. . . ."
Allusion is easy to find in Romeo and Juliet because of the side notes. Allusion is a reference to a person, place, or thing in history or in another reading. For example: "Gallop apace, you fiery-footed steeds, towards Phoebus' lodging. Such a wagoner as Phaeton would whip you to the west..." (3.2.1-4)
An allusion is an indirect reference to something in particular. An example of an allusion ins Romeo and Juliet would be: In Act 3 Scene 2 Juliet says 'Gallop apace, you fiery-footed steeds, Towards Phoebus' lodging: such a wagoner, As Phaethon would whip you to the west, And bring in cloudy night immediately.' These words are an allusion that refers to Helios and Phaethon (the sun-god and his son).
Although there are a number of monologues in Act five of Romeo and Juliet, the bread-and-butter of the act is, as it usually is, dialogue. Paris and his Page, Romeo and Balthazar, Romeo and Paris, The Friar and Balthazar, the Friar and Juliet, Montague and Capulet all have dialogues.

One example of a metaphor in Act 2 of Romeo and Juliet is when Romeo refers to Juliet as the sun, saying "But, soft! what light through yonder window breaks? It is the east, and Juliet is the sun." In this metaphor, Romeo is comparing Juliet's beauty and presence to the brightness and warmth of the sun.
An example of foreshadowing in act 2 of Romeo and Juliet is when Romeo expresses his fear of attending the Capulet's party, stating that he has a feeling the night's events will lead to his untimely death. This foreshadows the tragic fate that awaits both Romeo and Juliet in the story.
