How does romeo and juliet relate to west side story?

English

Sliva [168]3 years ago
7 0

When Romeo sees Juliet for the first time, he is struck by her beauty and breaks into a sonnet. The imagery Romeo uses to describe Juliet gives important insights into their relationship. Romeo initially describes Juliet as a source of light, like a star, against the darkness: "she doth teach the torches to burn bright! It seems she hangs upon the cheek of night." As the play progresses, a cloak of interwoven light and dark images is cast around the pair. The lovers are repeatedly associated with the dark, an association that points to the secret nature of their love because this is the time they are able to meet in safety. At the same time, the light that surrounds the lovers in each other's eyes grows brighter to the very end, when Juliet's beauty even illuminates the dark of the tomb. The association of both Romeo and Juliet with the stars also continually reminds the audience that their fate is "star-cross'd."

Romeo believes that he can now distinguish between the artificiality of his love for Rosaline and the genuine feelings Juliet inspires. Romeo acknowledges his love was blind, "Did my heart love till now? Forswear it, sight / For I ne'er saw true beauty till this night."

Romeo's use of religious imagery from this point on — as when he describes Juliet as a holy shrine — indicates a move towards a more spiritual consideration of love as he moves away from the inflated, overacted descriptions of his love for Rosaline.

1. Do you feel you have a good understanding of how your personal information is being used by companies?:
Oliga [24]

Answer:

See below:

Explanation:

Yes, I do think I have a good understanding due to most information about a service being open to the public, which is a nice thing. The only downside is that for some things such as the terms of service etc. it's hidden making some people sadly unable to see what they are

The benefits of being on social media include the ability to get news instantly and to be able to connect to your friends and meet new people who share your interests. Addition to this, you also get to hang out with other people, learn new things, and discover new things that you like!

What is an adverb with the root mer/mar
Mandarinka [93]
These ROOT-WORDS are MAR, MARI, & MER meaning SEA & POOL. It comes from the Latin mare which means SEA. The SEA was of the greatest importance to the Romans. Mare Liberum, the open sea: Mare Clausum, the closed Sea: and Mare Nostrum, our sea which is now called the Mediterranean Sea. All the words on this list have a musical sound, from MERmaid to MARina. “The Ancient Mariner" sounds much more musical than “The Old Sailor" which means the same thing.
