Act 1 scene 1 |
"Out of her favour" "Fair" "A mistress passing fair" "O brawling love,o loving hate" The word "brawl" means to fight or to have a quarrel and so Shakespeare is foreshadowing the fact that love and conflict are intertwined,that the lovers are going to be embroidered in a conflict that will ruin their relationship.and this reminds us of the prologue when we are told that they are are "death marked" Contradictions "Serious vanity" Romeo doesn't mention rosalines name he describes her appearance rather than her, his speech about rosaline is almost like an objectification of a woman's appearance.He uses the the noun "vanity"and this shows the lack of value towards rosaline and he even admits that fact that what he feels for rolsaine doesn't have that notion of true love. So Shakespeare's use of rosalines part in the play could be to highlight romeos tragic flaw, he loves to quickly and his love for her is a desire and infatuation rather than something that involves affection. This links to the Friars words when he say that "young mens love lies in their eyes" again remaining us of romeos tragic flaw
