The play "Romeo and Juliet" was written by a man named William Shakespeare, famous for his poetry, writing plays and known for shaping the language English. “Romeo and Juliet” is based on the tragedy of the characters Romeo and Juliet who die reuniting their families after many years of hatred. In this essay I will explore how the writer uses religious imagery in Act 1, Scene 5, the love shown in Act 2, Scene 2, the love seen as mortal in Act 5, Scene 3 and a analysis of two poems with comparisons to Romeo and Juliet. and each other. In Romeo and Juliet Act 1 Scene 5, our eyes encounter a love sonnet with various uses of religious imagery. Deliberate on the importance of religion for residents of Verona: the setting of the show. A sonnet was something that Elizabethan audiences particularly liked to integrate into fourteen lines. Throughout this sonnet, love and religion blend together to create a sacred union. Romeo sees Juliet for the first time at the party in the Capulet manor. Not yet identified, they are bitter enemies. Religious imagery is shown when Romeo addresses the fact that Juliet is “This Holy Sanctuary,” implying “Sanctuary” as someone to be worshipped, to be given all devotion. His appearance is simply beautiful from his point of view, completely smitten with them. Despite having just gotten out of a relationship with Rosaline, Juliet must be special. Flattered, Juliet interprets Romeo also showing religious images that reassure him towards a "pilgrim" who models inch by inch like a prayer that "the saints have". hands that pilgrims' hands touch', showing that a connection has been made, she has already gained respect for him. Going on a pilgrimage to the shrine is like kissing politely, suggesting that during the Elizabethan period religion was quite important to their daily lives... middle of paper... singing about one's virginity in those days was considered shameful before marriage . The narrator uses a paradox to show that she could have been a pure woman now that people see her as "impure". It shows the reader that it was a mistake that she would like to take it back, it crumbled her reputation and her knowledge to the readers of what happened. A reader would feel cheated for the lord's pleasure; generally no feelings were mutual as the narrator had for him. Line 45 the narrator talks about her son quoting "my blond son, my shame, my pride" using an oxymoron to emphasize despite regretting premarital sex that she loves her son, despite her 'shame' being born out of wedlock considering that in those days it was a shame to do so, the son is his rock forever. This makes the reader feel happy for her because she has a son to love and nurture, she will respect her mother unlike her father.
