Imagery of light and darkness, one of the most often repeated image patterns in Romeo and Juliet, is relevant in even from the very first act to show Romeo’s affections towards Juliet and Rosaline.

Romeo and Juliet Formal Response Paragraph When Romeo compares Juliet to the rising sun he indicates that she illuminates his darkened world. Lord Montague calls attention to Romeo’s depressed mood using darkened imagery that reveals Romeo’s emotional state; instead of simply stating that Romeo feels depressed, Montague elaborately reveals how Romeo has “Shut up his windows, locks fair daylight out/ And makes himself an artificial night” (I.I.142-143).

The powerful verbs showcase the extent and power that he keeps himself in darkness and away from others.…

1. After going through the play, my initial expression was that it was full of conflicts. There are a lot of quarrels between the lovers. Hermia and Lysander even ran off to the woods with the hope of starting a future life together.
