Romeo does not say this line to Juliet. He is hiding behind a bush in her backyard, hoping to get a glimpse of her. He knows that if he is found in her backyard he is dead meat. Suddenly, the curtains of one of the rooms part, and in the light from her room she steps out onto her balcony in her jammies. He is awestruck by her beauty, but he is not about to let on that he is there, in case she calls the security guards. To himself he says, "What light from yonder window breaks? It is the east, and Juliet is the sun." and he settles down to eavesdrop on her.

∙ 10y agoRomeo's line is "But soft! what light through yonder window breaks?" It is the light which breaks; he means that there is light suddenly shining through the window; the light "breaks out" suddenly. The window does not break; there is no shattered glass all over the place.

What does the redneck term 'down yonder' mean?
Shakespeare would disagree with categorizing this phrase as redneck. "What light through yonder window breaks"? Yonder is a reference to something in the distance. Down is the direction indicated. So, down yonder means something off in the distance in the direction indicated. This isn't an idiom or slang. It is literal. Even a redneck knows that.
