A montage meaning9/27/2023 I have night’s cloak to hide me from their eyes, 80Īnd, but thou love me, let them find me here. I would not for the world they saw thee here. 75Īlack, there lies more peril in thine eye If they do see thee, they will murder thee. Romeo says he flew over the wall " on the wings of love." With love’s light wings did I o’erperch these walls,Īnd what love can do, that dares love attempt. (Which is totally accurate-good counting, Juliet! Remember, he only spoke 67 words to her before they kissed, and then the Nurse broke it up.) Still, Juliet wants to know how he got over the high walls of the orchard. She recognizes his voice even though she hasn't heard even a hundred words from him. Juliet doesn't need to hear Romeo's name. The orchard walls are high and hard to climb,Īnd the place death, considering who thou art, How camest thou hither, tell me, and wherefore? Neither, fair maid, if either thee dislike. Of thy tongue’s uttering, yet I know the sound. My ears have yet not drunk a hundred words It's so hateful to him he'd tear it up if he had it written on a piece of paper. He jumps out of the bushes and yells, "Deal!" But he doesn't want to tell Juliet his name. My name, dear saint, is hateful to myself 60 What man art thou that, thus bescreened in night, In fact, Juliet thinks he should trade in his last name and take her instead.Ĭall me but love, and I’ll be new baptized. And Romeo would still be absolute perfection, whether his last name was Montague, Baggins, or Potter. You can call a rose a skunk, but it's still going to smell good. She ponders the meaning of names and decides they don't really matter. Romeo's tempted to jump out and speak right away, but he waits long enough to hear Juliet gush about him. Romeo, doff thy name, 50Īnd, for thy name, which is no part of thee, Retain that dear perfection which he owes So Romeo would, were he not Romeo called, What’s in a name?

Romeo gasps, and then launches into a paragraph's worth of great pick up lines. Romeo is wandering aimlessly around the Capulet backyard when you-know-who appears on the balcony. Here it is, Shmoopsters-the famous balcony scene! O, that I were a glove upon that hand, 25 See how she leans her cheek upon her hand.
