Question

Describe the language that shakespeare uses when romeo and juliet speak to one another, particularly when they first meet and in the balcony scene. how does their language help readers understand the depth of their love?

Answer 1

When Juliet and Romeo first meet, they speak in a sonnet. Their lines trade off back and forth and follow the structure and rhyme scheme of a traditional sonnet. Their other interactions are also very poetic in nature, but the sonnet especially is what shows the reader that their love is deep and pure, because sonnets represented a deep, important love.
