Act 2 study guide – Flashcards

Romeo compares to Juliet to the sun because Juliet is the new found love that Romeo has found and she is the best thing in his life right now.

Romeo wants the sun, Juliet to kill the envious moon, Rosaline because Romeo wants to get over her and fall completely in love with Juliet.

The moon is envious because it is compared to Rosaline's face.

Romeo compares Juliet's eyes to the stars because her beauteous eyes glisten in the moonlight like stars.

It foreshadows that their destinies will soon be intertwined together.

Oh Romeo, oh Romeo, why are you Romeo? Rebel against my father and change your name Or, if you will not, swear your love to me I shall no longer be a Capulet.

Juliet's attitude towards the feud is that she does not care for what a person's last name is, but for what they are instead. They're name is of our enemy You are yourself, not a Montague, What's a Montague? It's not a hand or foot Not arm, face or any other part It belongs to a man. Please have another surname. What's in a beautiful name? Any name could sound as sweet. So Romeo, you would not be called Romeo. Stay your perfect-self Without that last name, you are simply Romeo. Take me.

Her attitude towards what she said before changes because she now knows that Romeo heard her expressing her love to him and she is now worried that things are going at too fast of a pace for her.

Because the moon is a very inconstant thing to swear on, due to it's changing every month.

Juliet fears that as soon as Romeo and her get married, something bad would happen to them

Romeo tells Friar Laurence that he have moved on from Rosaline, and has now moved on to loving Juliet and wish to be wed on that day in his cell

Friar Laurence's rection was a surprised reaction because Romeo moved on from being in love with Rosaline to falling deeply in love with juliet and making plans to be wed so soon. "Young men's love then lies not truly in their hearts, but in their eyes."

Romeo requests that the nurse tell Juliet that they are to be wed at Friar Laurence's cell later tonight.

"And therefore hath the wind-swift Cupid wings" "Now is the sun upon the high high-most hill" "Of this days journey, and from the nine to twelve is three hours long, yet she has not come."

The Nurse does not tell Juliet what Romeo had told her to tell her because she has had a very long day and was very tired because of the harassment that Mercutio was giving her.

The nurse agrees to assist in the marriage of Romeo and Juliet because the nurse is like a mother to Juliet and she wants what is best for her.
