For me, personally, Romeo's love never seemed real, especially if you take into consideration that Romeo and Juliet knew each other for about a month, or so. You cannot start loving someone in such a short period of time, especially given that Romeo is like 18, and Juliet 14. Compared to modern ideas of love, their love is much more romanticized, it no longer exists (if it ever did), and it seems quite unreal.
Answer:The figurative language makes it much easier to focus on what is about to happen and the author doesn't use any connotations.The figurative language in this passage creates a scene where if you focus and read the passage very carefully and slow then you actually start to experience the feeling of it all coming to life.
