Who Said It

Juliet

Line
When he shall die, Take him and cut him out in little stars, And he will make the face of heaven so fine That all the world will be in love with night And pay no worship to the garish sun. For never was a story of more woe than this of Juliet and her Romeo. O swear not by the moon, the inconstant moon, that monthly changes in her circled orb, lest that thy love prove likewise variable. He that is strucken blind cannot forget the precious treasure of his eyesight lost. He jests at scars that never felt a wound. Whats in a name? That which we call a rose by any other name would smell as sweet.

Why I like it
This is probably my favorite line. I really like the imagery used and I love how she describes Romeo as the stars and identifies his with night since he describes her as a sun. I like this line because even though its said in the begging and you know the play isnt going to have a happy ending you still hope it does. I like how this line is consistent with the imagery of Romeo and the night. I also like how shes telling him how to profess his love to her. I love how this line shows how much of a romantic Romeo is. It helps to show the audience how he favors beauty and will not be wavered by his friend. I like how this line tells about how much more passionate Romeos love for Juliet is than his love for Rosaline was. Juliet starts to think that maybe somethings arent as important as when you feel about someone. I think this is an important theme because in our world today something superficial like this might sway some people from their love for the person. Friar Lawrence is separating the old from the young and I think its a good thing to think of your elders differently than your friends because your elders deserve a different type of respect.

Care keeps his watch in every old man's eye, and where care lodges, sleep will never lie; but where unbruised youth with unstuff'd brain doth couch his limbs, there golden sleep doth reign.
