"When the devout religion of mine eye
Maintains such falsehood, then turn tears to fires,
And these, who,often drowned, could never die,
Transparent heretics, be burnt for liars!
One fairer than my love? The all-seeing sun
Ne'er saw her match since first the world begun...
I'll go along, no such sight to be shown,
But to rejoice in splendor of mine own."
CM: Romeo explains to Benvolio that Rosaline is the one whom he has
found irresistable, and no other woman can "match" her.
CM: This is a con for Romeo because he says similar words about
Juliet, that she is (unmatchable).
Romeo Pro:
A2 s6 ln. 24-29 cd:
"Ah, Juliet, if the measure of thy joy
Be heaped like mine, and that thy skill be more
To blazon it, then sweeten with thy breath
This neighbor air, and let rich music's tongue
Unfold the imagined happiness that both
Receive in either by this dear encounter."
CM: Romeo tells of great joys he wishes they will have on their
wedding day-also showing affection towards her.
Paris Con:
A4 s1 ln. 22-26
"'Come to make confession to this father?' - Paris
'To answer that should I confess to you.' - Juliet
'Do not deny to him that you love me.' - Paris
'I will confess to you that I love him'"
CM: Paris is trying to persuade Juliet in to showing affection towards
him (to better their relationship).

the Friar but is stalled by Paris.
Paris Con:

"God shield I should disturb devotion!
Juliet, on Thursday early will I rouse eye.
(kisses her) Till then, adieu, and keep this holy kiss"
CM: ex: of how Paris tries to get his way-- Juliet doesn't like how
greedy Paris is for love,

A1 Sv Ln 91-94
Romeo- "(taking Juliet's hand)If I profane with my unworthiest hand
This holy shrine, the gentle sin is this: My lips, two blushing
pilgrims, ready stand To smooth that rough touch with a tender kiss"
as if he isn't good enough.

Romeo- "O, then, dear saint, let lips do what hands do. They pray:
grant thou, lest faith turn to despair."

CM: Juliet's kiss will clean away all of Romeo's sins because she is
so holy and means so much to him.

Romeo- "With love's light wings did I o'erperch these walls, For stony
limits cannot hold love out, And what love can do, that dares love

she likes that.

CM:Even though Juliet is a Capulet Romeo loves her so much to risk his
life to see her.
Romeo Con:
Act V, Scene 3, Line 120
"Thy drugs are quick. Thus a kiss I die."
CM: I feel that Romeo is acting selfish by killing himself because he
is not thinking about the other people
that love him especially Juliet and how that will affect her when she
wakes up.
CM: This was a bad idea because Juliet is willing to die if she can't
be with Romeo as she told the friar earlier
in the play.
Act 2, Scene 2, line ?
Tybalt is gone, and Romeo banishèd.
Romeo that killed him—he is banishèd.
CM: Romeo is way too impulsive and kills Tybalt without thinking about
the consequences.
CM: This makes Juliet sad and she fears that she will never see him
again
