Romeo and Juliet – Varying Views of Love
Character
|
Lines
|
Your conclusions about the character’s view of love at this time
|
Romeo
|
I.i 186-190
Why the, O brawling love! O loving hate!
O anything, of nothing first create!
O heavy lightness! Serious vanity!
Misshapen chaos of well-seeming forms!
Feather of lead, bright smoke, cold fire, sick health!
|
|
Benvolio
|
I.i 240 and 242-43
Be ruled by me; forget to think of her. …
By giving liberty unto thine eyes:
Examine other beauties.
|
|
Paris
|
I.ii 12
Younger than she are happy mothers made.
|
|
Capulet
|
I.ii 10-11 and 13
Let two more summers wither in their pride
Ere we may think her ripe to be a bride.
… too soon marred are those so early made.
I.ii 16-17
But woo her, gentle Paris, get her heart;
My will to her consent is but a part.
|
|
Juliet
|
I.iii 72
It is an honor I dream not of.
I.iii 106-108
I’ll look to like, if looking liking move;
But no more deep will I endart mine eye
Than your consent gives strength to make it fly.
|
|
Lady Cap.
|
I.iii 77-80
Here in Verona, ladies of esteem,
Are already made mothers. By my count,
I was your mother much upon these years
That you are now a maid.
|
|
Nurse
|
I.iii
No less? Nay, bigger! Women grow by men.
|
|
Mercutio
|
I.iv 27-28
If love be rough with you, be rough with love.
Prick love for pricking, and you beat love down.
|
|
Burning question: Based on all the differing views of love and marriage, what conflicts do you anticipate will arise in the play?
